Urban waterfront development that started in the 1960s has begun to be emphasized in the meaning of a river as entering in the 1980s and 1990s. Restoration effect of the river has led to promotion of urban environment, expasion of an ecological and resting space, and effect of urban landscape improvement as well as ecological circumstance restoration of a river itself. Likewise, urban waterside spaces that were recently highlighted physical and environmental aspects have been transformed in a space having an economically, socially, and culturally excellent value and have affected urban revitalization as changing rapidly waterside space's values.
Therefore, this study has intended to develop plan factors of waterfront development having an effect on urban revitalization and to inquire of an urban revitalization scheme through an efficient use and development of the waterside. With this in mind, first of all, this study has tried to find factors of waterfront space development affecting urban revitalization by analyzing a link between waterfront spaces and urban revitalization in a part of theoretical investigation. Second, this study analyzed status of waterfront space development through a case study of 4 areas ; 'Cheonggyecheon(Stream) restoration', 'River walk in San Antonio', 'Dotombori in Osaka', 'Hafen City in Hamburg'. Third, this study examined a planning flow of waterfront space development by comparing and evaluating each cases based on the status analysis. Lastly, this study has proposed development directions dedicating urban revitalization in case of internal waterfront development.
