도시의 대표적 공공장소인 전통시장의 활성화를 위하여 노력해 왔으나 결과는 만족스럽지 못한 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 국내 도시의 전통시장 활성화를 위한 계획 및 설계방법론에 있어서의 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 전통시장 재생의 선진사례로 알려진 보스턴 '퀸시마켓'과 밴쿠버 '그랜빌 아일랜드 공설시장'을 대상지로 선정하여 공공공간을 중심으로 이론적 고찰과 사례분석을 진행하였다. 사례분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전통시장을 구성하는 다양한 공간 및 시설은 연계를 통하여 상승효과를 나타낸다. 둘째, 전통시장 이용객을 위한 다양한 공공공간이 시장건물과 오픈스페이스에 조성되었다. 셋째, 전통시장에서 판매하는 음식·음료를 공공공공에서 취식할 수 있으며, 만남, 휴식, 공연 및 행사가 공공공간에서 이루어지고 있다. 넷째, 단일화된 집행력을 갖는 회사 또는 비영리주체가 시장운영을 담당하거나 참여하고 있다.

Purpose - In urban regeneration projects, considerations for rejuvenating traditional public markets are becoming increasingly important. That is because the traditional market is not just a commercial space but also a living center for local people's existence. Cultural contents like these are invaluable assets in the contemporary economy. However, traditional markets are gradually declining because of changes in distribution systems and consumer lifestyles. New distribution systems such as modern distribution markets, home shopping, and online shopping malls made traditional markets less competitive. Further, traditional markets have not been able to adapt to the changing consumption styles of younger generations. Some say that it is a natural phenomenon that cannot be stopped. However, traditional markets are not just another distribution system but also a valuable resource that encapsulates the local people's tradition and history. Thus, a revitalization strategy for traditional public markets has become an urgent task in contemporary urban regeneration projects. This study aimed to find ways to activate traditional public markets by making it a community landmark based on visual merchandising perspectives. Research design and methodology - This study focused on analyzing Granville Island (Vancouver, Canada) as a role-model project for rejuvenating the traditional market. It investigated Granville Island both with walk-through evaluation and literature reviews. Results - We found that it has been developed not only to improve visual aspects, but also to promote cultural contents with high value added. For example, the developers maintained the visual elements that tell the original history of the site as an industrial factory. The renewal project had a balance between improving the outer look and creating attractive contents. The following are the merits of Granville Island that Korean traditional markets should note. First, they kept the whole area clean and hygienic. Second, merchants are well educated, business-savvy, and consumer-oriented. Third, the area's total environmental designs were done by professionals of a high caliber. Fourth, the city government and the merchants'association were collaborating well in their efforts to accommodate the changing needs of consumers. Conclusions - This study made the following suggestions as a conclusion. First, it will be a very powerful tool to rejuvenate the traditional market if we can discover unique cultural resources and develop them as cultural products, experiences, and events. Consumers of the 21st century have a strong tendency to consume not only material products, but also the experiences and memories attached to them. Second, in order to maintain the unique characteristics of traditional markets, fostering the viability of the merchants' association and local residents' society would be essential. Third, it is necessary to make the traditional market into a cultural place not only for the shopping patronage of local residents, but also for attracting tourists to increase sales. Finally, professional management and design approaches are needed in order to make the traditional market a pleasant space from a visual merchandising standpoint.
