Recently, controversy surrounding gentrification has kept growing in Korean society. This reflects the failure in maintaining appropriate pace in pursuing regional revitalization and preserving regional identity at the same time. This is why the importance of managing time and maintaining measured pace has been recently stressed in urban management. The introduction of the cultural district policy in 2000 reflected recognition of the importance of time management in urban management, but past 15 years of practice was rather unsuccessful. Against this backdrop, this study aims to point out some limits of current urban management policies and stress the necessity of maintaining appropriate pace in urban management.

청계천 복원사업은 서울의 대표적인 도시재생사업으로 손꼽힌다. 하지만 2년이란 빠 른 시간안에 완성된 청계천 복원사업은 경제적, 사회적, 환경적 측면에서 많은 논란을 가져왔다. 여러 관점에서 성공적인 면도 있지만 본 연구에서는 청계천주변에서 생계를 꾸리며 살아온 저소득층 소상공인들의 입장을 중심으로 사람중심의 청계천 복원사업의 문제점을 다시 한 번 돌아보고 개선방안에 대해 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 우선 청 계천의 역사를 살펴보고 역사적으로 복원사업의 추진과 함께 야기된 문제점과 청계천 복원사업의 문제점을 기존 문헌들을 통해 고찰한다. 그 중 공식 청계천 홈페이지에 있 는 사람중심의 복원사업이란 단어에 주목하고 ‘사람중심’이란 개념에 대해 저소득층 소상공인 입장에서 재정립한다. 그리고, 자본주의적 관점에서 청계천 복원사업 시 경시 된 저소득층들의 보상과 이주문제, 저소득층간의 공평성 문제에 대해 분석한다. 저소득 층 소상공인의 입장을 고려함으로써 복원사업 시 그들의 입장에서의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 임차인과 임대인과의 상생협력방안, 복원사업 피해자에 대한 전 방위적인 개 별조사가 이루어져야 하는 방향으로 가야한다. 이러한 문제점 분석과 개선방안을 통해 사람중심의 복원사업을 구현하는데 본 연구가 기여하길 바란다.

This study aims at identifying the impact of location factors on the sales of train station shopping centers by conducting quantitative research based on recent data from privately-funded train stations. Most of research on large-sized commercial facilities such as department stores and shopping outlet malls has been mainly focused on commercial market value analysis and types of consumption rather than financial performances including sales. On the contrary, this study conducts correlation analysis, regression analysis, and factor analysis to analyze the financial performances in times of the consistent and frequent development of the shopping centers. The study clearly shows that the larger store size results in the increase of occupancy costs, and higher occupancy costs generate a rise in sales. Moreover, the growing number of metro commuters causes the enlarging size of shopping outlet malls in train stations. The findings have huge implication on the significance of large-sized shopping outlet malls for the future development of train station shopping centers.
