Urban Block Renewal Project is a designed and suggested plan that newly improved old houses in underdeveloped areas, residential environment, and various problems of current new town projects and redevelopment and reconstruction projects. Although the urban block renewal project has brought attention since the project can proceed and be completed quickly with existing infrastructure as it is maintained and simplified business procedure, it is true that few results of the project have been completed after introducing the project. Even the quickness of business procedure, considered as its merit through simplified administrative procedures, becomes prolonged for business periods, as shown in the propulsion trend.
This study wanted to complete the project quickly by simplifying business procedures by improving some problems that make the project prolonged because of many steps of redevelopment and reconstruction, but many problems occurred. Finally, this study tries to contribute to completion of urban block renewal projects currently in progress, reduction of damage of partners, and activation the government requires, by recognizing the reason why the business is delayed and by suggesting problems and improvements of completed urban block renewal projects in Seoul.
In order to carry out the purpose of this study, we compared and reviewed the cases of completion of the street housing maintenance project in Seoul, identified current problems by referring to cases in progress, and analyzed the cause of the delay, that is, the reason why the project was not completed.
This study found that problems of the urban block renewal project are conflict among partners, lack of knowledge about the business of union members, additional time for supplementary documents, various problems of selecting a constructor for the union, lack of experts related to the project, lack of capability of developers and constructors of maintenance business, absence of integrated guidelines of the governments, and policy issues.
Based on the problems, this study suggested improvements such as installation of a dispute resolution committee for conflicts and disputes among residents, and creation of places to activate participation of residents. and the governments and local governments should cultivate experts and produce guidelines for the urban block renewal project, and then they have to distribute them.
This study has a limitation that it researched the urban block renewal project through completed projects and the other projects in progress to recognize problems of the project and it cannot reflect too detailed conditions of the partners and every content of the business. Henceforth, existing policies and legislation must be revised and then reflected, and political support should be abundant for growth of the urban block renewal project. Then, this study would expect to help the urban block renewal project to be proceeding more quickly and safely by referring to this research.
