본 계획의 목적은 정유재란 남원성전투의 역사적 현장이자 구 남원역 터인 중앙공원에 대한 기본계획과 운영프로그램을 계획하여 남원시의 다른 관광자원과 연계방안을 제시하는 것이다. 대상지의 역사성과 다크투어리즘에 대한 이론적 고찰, 입지여건, 자연환경, 인문환경 등 현황분석, 관련법규 검토, 주민/상인 설문조사 분석을 통해 기본구상안을 도출하고 마스터플랜을 수립하였다. 향후 남원성 북문과 성곽 복원을 고려하여 최소한의 시설을 도입하였다. 성곽 외 지역은 정유재란 당시 4일간 남원성에서 전개되었던 남원성전투를 시계열적으로 상징화하였고 성곽 내 지역은 기존 철도관련 시설을 활용하는 공간을 도입하였으나 남원성 복원 후에는 철거 하고 원형으로 복원하는 것을 전제로 하였다. 부지의 장소성을 기념하고 역사의식 고취를 위한 체험 프로그램을 제안하였고 유사테마와 연계, 인접한 관광자원과의 연계를 통해 관광객 방문을 유도하고자 하였다.

The Saemaeul Movement, which is the representative national campaign of Korea aimed at the development of local communities, has drawn a great deal of attention from home and abroad and formed an element of Korea's national brand since 2000. Accordingly, this research was conducted for the purpose of constructing a memorial park in Shindo Village, Cheongdo County, North Kyoungsang Province, which is a home to the Saemaeul Movement. As the Saemaeul Movement is benchmarked by many countries around the world today, this research aims to communicate the spirit and social value of the movement and disseminate its effects of local community development in rural areas through the construction of a memorial park. In this study, the design motive of the memorial park was conceived through the historical review and case studies of the Saemaeul Movement. In parallel, theoretical study was also conducted on design techniques as the basis of this research. In consideration of the characteristics of a technical article, this research was conducted in several phases. In the first phase, the conditions of the site where the park construction was planned were analyzed and the direction of its development was set. In the second phase, the main theme and the basic principles of planning were established, and the contents of the park construction project were devised in detail. In the last phase, a comprehensive plan was established, including a space layout to accommodate activities, facilities and programs to be introduced to the park. The park construction site (106,000m2) was divided into four zones (memorial zone, historical theme park, education zone and experience zone) based on circulation planning aimed at creating memorial space, and was linked to eco-friendly ecological space in consideration of environmental features. At a time when the Saemaeul Movement is being propagated across the world, the result of this study will help create a place for its memorial and play a pivotal role to boost international movements aimed at promoting co-prosperity across the global village. It will also bear significance as an example of theme-based park construction in a rural area and the invigoration of a local community.
