Abstract

Since the 1960s, many industrial complexes established during Korea’s industrialization have deteriorated, not only in terms of production facilities such as factories but also in associated infrastructure such as roads, parks, and sewage systems. The deterioration and decline of these industrial complexes have become broader urban issues beyond localized problems, affecting industrial workers negatively and leading to material emissions, noise, traffic, nighttime hollowing-out, and spatial discontinuity. Traditional manufacturing-focused complexes from the past fail to meet modern demands influenced by technological advancements and heightened public awareness of industrial environments. To transform aging industrial complexes into advanced industrial zones, it is essential not only to improve physical conditions but also to consider environmental factors. Although many studies have been conducted on the structural advancement projects within redevelopment efforts, they mainly focus on urban planning aspects, necessitating research on spatial strategies at the architectural level. This study aims to derive candidate sites through a location feasibility analysis of regeneration anchor facilities within aging industrial complexes. These anchor facilities are envisioned to serve as catalytic nodes for environmental enhancement and industrial transformation, offering welfare and innovation services that can benefit both workers and surrounding communities.
