This study distinguished the types of urban tourism resources that could attract visiting consumers among local assets and proposed priorities for projects that should be promoted to enhance tourism attractiveness based on visitor surveys and analysis in the case target. The main contents are as follows. In the empirical analysis process, we derive 20 tourism resources through prior research analysis and propose implications through the IPA matrix. In detail, the tourist elements that need to be located in 1st quadrant and maintain existing competitiveness are natural landscape, historical and cultural resources, residents' hospitality, storytelling, performance fairs, and local festivals. If you look at the elements of tourism resources that are located in 2st quadrants and need to be improved first, they are representative food, streetscape, night view, and entertainment. Although it is said to be a variety of tourism factors that need to be gradually improved in 3st quarters, lifestyle shop, architectural design, and night tourism activities, which differ in importance and satisfaction, are expected to have a great effect on improvement. The quadrant was the only part that needed to maintain the status quo, with the only distribution of the ‘master image’. The implication of this study is that it proposed priorities that can be applied to the actual field.

The paper attempts to analyze the effect of climate change on individual’s willingness to pay for urban heat island mitigation. In this paper, climate change represents change between heatwave and rainy season. Utilizing the contingent valuation method, each willingness to pay for street tree planting policy under two climate conditions is estimated. In order to specify the effect of climate change on willingness to pay, a dummy variable for two climate conditions is included as an explanatory variable for willingness to pay. Then, the statistical difference between the average willingness to pay under each condition is examined. The paper shows that the rainy season had a statistically significant negative effect on the willingness to pay for urban heat island mitigation. Also, it reveals that there is a statistical difference in the willingness to pay between heatwave and rainy season conditions. Finally, this paper suggests a policy direction for urban heat island mitigation based on the results obtained.

This study is basic research through the analysis of building landscape plan evaluation item’s importance limited to the analysis of the importance of building landscape deliberation evaluation item. As for the scope of the research content, the criteria for building landscape plan evaluation items obtained from existing studies were assessed and priorities about the evaluation items were presented. The overall ranking of the factors of the building landscape plan’s evaluation item is the following: consideration of the surrounding street system to prevent existing pedestrians’ traffic disengagement > vehicle/parking/pedestrian circulation plan for pedestrian environment> avoidance of uniform, exaggerated, and closed design > plan public notices for integrated use> right to sunlight> harmony with the size and height of buildings in the surrounding area> integrated universal design and applied guidelines> consideration of the surrounding area’s street, park, and green area system> external space plan for the disabled and the elderly> harmony with the size and the height of major mountain views> arrangement to minimize green damage and topographical changes> height management principle plan> Presentation of soft light that blends in with the surrounding> avoiding the installation of excessive facilities for building entry> fence designs that harmonize with the surrounding> plans for lighting and ventilation> assessment and plans for the structure> harmony of the outdoor advertisements and large electronic displays with the surroundings.

This study was conducted to find alternatives to revitalize Nodeul Island's complex cultural space representing the public complex cultural space in Seoul. To this end, a AHP analysis was conducted for experts related to the complex cultural mission to derive important factors necessary for revitalizing Nodeul Island. The meaningful results derived through this study are summarized as follows. First, it was found that improving traffic conditions is the most important thing to revitalize Nodeul Island. Second, it was found that it was important to establish the identity of Nodeul Island in order to revitalize Nodeul Island. Third, it was found that content improvement was important to revitalize Nodeul Island. This study is of academic significance in that it attempted to find a way to revitalize Nodeul Island by setting the complex cultural space on Nodeul Island, which currently needs improvement due to inactivation problems, as a research target.

This study explores how residential satisfaction among middle-aged people living in the metropolitan area affects happiness. Existing studies have considered residential satisfaction as one of the determinants of happiness and found that residential satisfaction has a positive impact on happiness. Our residential environment may affect happiness in itself, but it may also affect happiness through social relationships occurring in the living place and our belief that we live as members of society. Thus we need to consider the mediating effects of social satisfaction and self-efficacy when analyzing the relationship between residential satisfaction and happiness. This study verified a model of happiness based on the human-environmental fit model and the exchange theory. The analysis results are as follows. First, social relationship satisfaction and self-efficacy is fully mediated between residential environmental satisfaction and happiness. Second, housing satisfaction directly affected happiness without the mediating effect of social satisfaction or self-efficacy. To increase happiness, we need to improve housing conditions and the residential environment and actively consider making it a place where social relations can take place.

The urban regeneration project recognizes young people as potential talents for regional revitalization and economic enhancement in terms of solving local problems through active participation of local actors. It is considered as an important actor to ensure the sustainability of urban regeneration projects. Under these circumstances, the Urban Regeneration New Deal Youth Internship is being promoted as a policy to nurture manpower in the field of urban regeneration and at the same time create local jobs to prevent the outflow of young people and induce them to settle in the area. Therefore, this study conducted in-depth interviews with groups such as operating organizations, participating organizations, and youth internships as a process to explore the current status, problems, and improvement plans of the Urban Regeneration New Deal youth internship project. Through the interview results, problems for each group were derived, and as a concrete way to improve them, a unified selection, operation, and management system centered on the region, and a specific structure for step-by-step operation and training were suggested. This is significant in that it presented a structure of a virtuous cycle in the region as a way to achieve the policy objective of inducing local settlement through nurturing young talent and creating jobs for young people in the region.

We would like to provide policy directions to strengthen financial efficiency and to secure stability in operation and management after urban regeneration facilities were established. To this end, we reviewed the current evaluation system of Urban Regeneration New Deal projects and checked similar systems implemented by other central government agencies. The preliminary feasibility evaluation index was divided into demand, benefit, cost estimation index, and policy analysis index. In conclusion, through a preliminary feasibility evaluation study, local governments or local communities should measure relatively accurate local demand in the planning stage before project application, and we can expect to change practices of financial management that local governments rely on financial aids of the central government. At the same time, it is possible to secure fairness in the selection, and it is expected to have a policy effect that can prioritize projects with high economic and regional ripple effects.

The recent development of the Internet and the spread of mobile devices are changing people's consumption patterns. People can conveniently purchase products regardless of time and place through smartphones, which served as an opportunity for consumers to switch from offline to online consumption life. Changes in online transaction-oriented consumption patterns have brought various changes to the logistics market, and the importance of logistics warehouses to properly store and deliver the increasing volume to consumers is increasing. Along with the increasing importance of logistics warehouses, small-scale logistics warehouses based on online transactions are rapidly increasing in cities. This is called an urban logistics warehouse, and as opposed to traditional logistics warehouses located mainly outside cities or non-urban areas with low land prices, they are located in the city and show a new location form. Therefore, this study focused on the location of urban distribution warehouses located in a different form from the location of traditional parcel delivery warehouses, focused on location characteristics and location factors, and attempted to interpret the location of urban distribution warehouses based on online transactions and location theory.

The purpose of this study is to interpret space syntactically how the characteristics of urban spatial configuration centered in commercial gentrification area in Seoul can have an influence on gentrification. Based on Space Syntax index, commercial gentrification can be classified into planned, mixed, and spontaneous types. The results of analyzing the change in franchise distribution by type of urban spatial structure are as follows: First, the Planned type is easily accessible and recognizable, which makes gentrification emerge with ease even in side streets, and it tends to expand to major streets with high Integration. Second, in the spontaneous type, gentrification is linearly converted in the street with high Integration_R3 due to the limitation of cognition and accessibility of walking. Third, gentrification is highly related to urban spatial structure, and has more connection in the planned type. These factors show that the urban spatial structure has an influence on the occurrence of commercial gentrification, and it is possible to follow the details of the occurrence process in a time-series analysis.
