Abstract

The railroad that represents modern industry began appearing in 1899. However, after the steam locomotive that provided water stopped the service, the water towers within the railroad station were useless. Suggestions presented in this study for activating the environment around the water towers that are designated as the cultural properties results are as followed: 1) The place where people can experience the vestiges of Korean War and the region that different novels accommodated. 2) A plaza 3) A facility for exhibition of industry inheritance and local products 4) A local landmark 5) Reproduction of the historical steam locomotive and water tower Local residents should participate in the activation process. And the designer should consider the environmental context. In addition, the activation of water towers should be designed under an urban plan.

1899년에 철도가 부설된 이후 철도관련시설은 근대화의 상징이다. 그러나 증기기관차의 운행이 중단된 후 급수탑은 방치된 시설이었다. 근대문화유산의 가치를 살린 급수탑 주변 요소에 따른 활성화 방안은 다음과 같다. 1)근대사의 현장성과 예술 작품의 배경 지역을 이용 2)주변 장소와 연계한 공원화 3)산업유산의 전시시설 4)지역의 역사유적 5)급수설비의 재생이 필요하다. 지방 자치단체의 기획 단계부터 전문가 집단의 조언과 지역주민의 활발한 참여가 필요하며, 급수탑 활성화가 도시정비차원에서 이루어져야 한다.
