A Socio-cultural Interpretation on the Conservation Policies of Urban Symbolic Space: A Case Study of Kahoe-Dong District, Seoul
This paper starts from the remark that the conservation project for Kahoe-Dong area as a valuable historical district of Seoul, with 25 years of works, has failed. Analyzing the causes and the process of the policy application, this study argues that, first of all, there was no clear definition of the policy objective during the whole period of the project. Several different values concerning the district were argued, by the administrators and the inhabitants, without the social consensus, so essential in this kind of project. Even more serious than that, the central government of Korea and Seoul's city government themselves practices detouring tactics of new building construction, which has aggravated the district's historical environments. The legitimacy of the control of construction for the sake of ‘historical site protection’ became invalid as the result. Privates and other inhabitants, in their turn, also tried several strategies to get the cancellation of the conservation policy and its application on Kahoe-Dong area. I suggest this case as an example of anomie concerning the value of symbolic urban heritage, where on can observe chaotic reactions of the members of the urban society in a period of cultural transition. Unstable value system and the loss of social consensus among the civil service, the urban specialists, and the residents were at the root of the failure of Kahoe-dong conservation project. Another ‘protection and rehabilitation’ plan was submitted in 2000 for Kahoe-Dong area. But, when we analyze the precedent works of 25years, we need to observe the new project with attention on the policy application process on the field, equipped with well arranged sociological concepts argued above.
