한국의 도시 상황에서 공동주택단지의 옥외공간은 시민들이 가장 일상적으로 접하는 외부환경 이자 풍경이라는 사실을 부인할 수 없다. 이렇게 계획된 옥외공간은 최초 조성된 시대의 가치 뿐만 아니라 이후 지속해서 사회문화적 요구를 반영하며 변화한다. 본 연구는 한국 최초의 대 규모 고층 아파트단지로 알려진 여의도 시범아파트 외부공간의 생성과 변화에 담긴 다양한 역 사적·사회적 담론을 살펴보고 조경의 역할과 의미를 고찰하고자 한다. 특히, 조성 초기 이상 적인 공간을 재현하려는 계획적 의도부터 이어지는 각종 사회적 담론의 수용과 그 안에서 전개 되는 공간적 실천 사이의 관계를 분석한다. 이를 위해 당시 계획과 설계에 관한 문헌과 신문자 료 등을 고찰하였고, 도면과 항공사진, 현장 방문과 관계자 인터뷰를 통해 아파트단지 외부공 간의 물리적 변화와 이용 현황을 파악하였다. 연구의 결과로는 첫째, 외부공간 구성의 이론적 배경과 기법으로서 모더니즘적 ‘이상도시’를 꿈꾼 당시 주거계획의 보편적인 개념인 서구의 근 린주구 이론을 바탕으로 보행자 위주의 슈퍼블록이 전체 공간의 구조적 틀임을 확인하였다. 둘 째, 초기 계획안에서 양적인 녹지공간의 이미지를 구현하려는 의도는 뚜렷하였으나, 실제 공동 체 생활공간으로서 녹지와 공공 오픈스페이스 조성에 대한 구체성과 전문성은 드러나지 않았 다. 셋째, 각종 제한사항에도 불구하고 양적으로 갖춰진 녹지 및 공공공간은 시대 상황과 요구 에 맞춰 변화함으로써 동시대 주거단지 내 옥외공간 이용의 양상이 어떻게 전개되어왔는지를 드러낸다. 본 연구는 한국에서 전문 업역으로서 조경이 시작할 무렵 조성된 주거단지 옥외공간 의 초기의 모습에서부터 지금까지 어떻게 변화해왔는지를 살펴봄으로써 근현대 주거단지의 조 경이 어떻게 발전해왔는지 확인하는 데 학술적인 의의가 있다.

Understanding the identity of an urban space is one of the most important considerations for spatial planners and designers, who are charged with revealing and strengthening the space’s sense of place. However, in many cases, an urban space is regarded merely as a physical form, lacking an interpretation of various semantics, such as its history, political economy, social culture, and art. The purpose of this study is to investigate how an urban space evolves, and thus, how the social images of urban spaces can be recognized with Lefebvre’s theory. Therefore, we examine an urban district to reveal the interaction between societies and spaces through images reflected in news media and public articles, and eventually define the identity of the space. This study takes Yeonnam-dong district as its case, and carefully examines the social relations affecting spatial practices in the area by means of Lefebvre’s spatial triad: representation of space, representational space, and spatial practice. Using historical observation as a research method, we conducted a case review of Yeonnam-dong over 40 years (from 1975 to 2016). The results indicate that there have been complicated power dynamics and struggles to form the current image of Yeonnam-dong, which is still an ongoing process; this exemplifies Lefebvre's notion of the social construction of spaces. The results provide meaningful lessons for planners and designers that they should play important roles as coordinators in radical spatial changes. One of the major limitations of this study is that it does not fully examine the detailed roles of each social entity in the landscape changes, which should be investigated in further studies.

This is a research-based urban design project that explores how a landscape approach could contribute to regenerating a decrepit residential district. The focus is on a post-war housing area in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, called Groot-IJsselmonde. This site is a typical example of a post-war district in the Netherlands, with a layout clearly defined by plenty of green; good infrastructure; and a clear division among living, working, and recreation spaces. This research defines how this restructuring effort has been applied to the post-war neighborhoods in this district and what landscape architecture can contribute to this community’s sustainability. In order to better understand how the design of open spaces can improve community sustainability, this research ponders the following questions: What are the meaning and characteristics of restructuring post-war neighborhoods in the present day? What are the strategies for restructuring these neighborhoods? And what is the new role of landscapes in contemporary cities, especially in post-war neighborhoods? Also, as it is understood that a spatial program is the engine of a project and that urban agriculture has potential as a restructuring tool, in this study “productive landscapes” are employed as a major concept in the design and operationalized in a physical setting. In the end, this research proposes adding a productive function to any unused green areas and meaningless landscapes to help enhance both the economic and social elements of the community. As it is situated in a similar social context to this Dutch case (such as having entered a post-industrial society and regarding apartments as the major housing system), this study is expected to provide useful and practical lessons for current urban regeneration in Korea.
