Abstract

Increased investment in environment-friendly transport vehicles has led to rapid transit of railway tracks, double track program, linear improvements in railway lines, and moving railroad routes into the suburbs. They resulted in fast increase of railway yards. However, as the railroad yards being neglected, urban fine sites have been degraded. Local governments kept seeking ways to utilize the railway yards. In addition, Ministry of land, infrastructure and transport enacted "Guidelines for utilization of railway yards". The Guidelines categorized the railway yards into three types; conservation, utilized, and other sites in order to make efficient use of them. The railway yards have been converted and used for parks, rail bike trails, bike paths, and solar projects. It seems that studies are needed on diverse use of the yards and on post evaluation. This study investigated current uses of railway yards, domestic and foreign, and analyzed for the pertinent conditions on natural and cultural landscape, educational value, location and accessibility, potential for recreational area, and development opportunities. In this study, I proposed a quantitative evaluation method, and to find way to diversify the use of railway yards.

친환경 교통수단인 철도에 대한 투자비중이 증가함에 따라 철도 고속화와 복선화 및 선형개량 사업, 철도노선의 교외지역 이설 등으로 폐선부지가 급속히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 철도폐선부지가 방치되어 도시미관을 저해하는 문제가 발생됨에 따라 최근 지자체에서는 철도폐선부지의 활용방안을 모색하고 있다. 또한, 국토교통부는 "철도유휴부지 활용지침"을 제정하여 보전 활용 기타부지 등 3가지 유형으로 분류하여, 폐선부지를 체계적으로 활용하고자 하였다. 그러나 현재 활용 중인 폐선부지는 공원, 레일바이크, 자전거도로, 태양광사업 등으로만 활용되고 있으며, 폐선부지의 다각화 및 사후평가에 대한 연구가 부재한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 폐선부지의 활용사례를 조사하고 전국 철도폐선부지를 대상으로 자연문화경관, 교육과학적 가치, 위치 및 접근성, 휴양 유발성, 개발여건 등 영향요인을 분석하여 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였고, 이를 통해 철도폐선부지의 활용 다각화 방안을 모색하고자 하였다.
