This study on the intensive landscape management zone of Muju county in Korea was conducted for the purpose of first, developing landscape guidelines that take the current conditions of the landscape in the area and tourists’ requirements into account and second, exploring ways to implement them. The current conditions of the landscape resources in the area were analyzed by conducting a theoretical examination; a survey of the current status of the landscape; and a questionnaire survey of the local people, tourists, and public officials. Based on the result of those surveys, the guidelines for the landscape design of the intensive landscape management zone were set, and measures to implement them were explored. The results of this study are as follows: 1. For the building landscape of the Meeting plaza at Muju IC, a variable structure made of natural materials is suggested for the extended space in front of the mall, while an integrated design of street furniture and installation of a landmark and its design are suggested for the streetscape. 2. For the area of Bandi Land and Taekwondowon, improvement of the street structure for the main street and of the height of the buildings, taking the view of mountains into account, is suggested, and the design is also proposed. 3. For the Muju Resort and entrance to the Gucheondong valley of Muju, building planning that takes fine natural views into account, as well as reorganization of public and commercial signboards, are suggested, and the design is also proposed. 4. For the implementation of these plans, focus is placed on the current status of land use by zone. First, implementation of landscape projects and switching to a roundabout at the entrance are proposed for the Muju IC Meeting Plaza. Second, a district-unit plan is suggested for Bandi Land and Taekwondowon areas because new development projects are planned for them. Third, a landscape agreement is suggested for the Muju Resort and the area of entrance to the Gucheondong valley of Muju because those are already-developed areas where active commercial activities are performed.
