Somak Village in Uam-dong, Decision on Urban Management Plan (District Unit Plan Area of Uam 1 Residential Environment Management Project) and Announcement of Topographic Map
- Area of 189-1104, Uam-dong, Nam-gu
The Uam 1 Residential Environment Management Project in Uam-dong, Nam-gu, Busan has been completed. As a result, the maintenance area has been released and changed to a district unit plan area.
This decision was made to manage the area systematically after maintenance and to improve the living environment of residents.
The Uam 1 Residential Environment Management Project is being conducted in the area of 189-1104 Uam-dong, Nam-gu, Busan, covering a total area of 20,593.9㎡. The main goal of this project is to enhance the living environment of residents through housing improvements, commercial facility maintenance, road and sewage network upgrades, and the creation of parks and green spaces.
In particular, the maintenance of roads and sewage networks focuses on improving the local infrastructure, while the establishment of green spaces contributes to creating a more pleasant residential environment. The core objective of this project is to enable residents to enjoy a better quality of life.
In June 2023, the Somaksa temple within Somak Village was restored to its original form, and the construction of the complex community center was completed. Somak Village is a unique living cultural heritage formed during the industrialization process of Busan, and it is being thoroughly managed along with the complex community center to preserve the historical value of the area.
Due to such heritage protection measures, the potential for redevelopment in the area is expected to significantly decrease in the future. Generally, in areas where registered cultural heritage exists, demolition or reconstruction is restricted, and preservation is prioritized. Therefore, the conversion of this area to a district unit plan is likely to result in preservation-centered development utilizing the existing urban infrastructure rather than a simple release of the maintenance area.
Such changes are expected to provide valuable opportunities for local residents and visitors to preserve cultural heritage while also contributing to strengthening the local identity. It is hoped that efforts to preserve the history and culture of this area will continue in the future.
With the completion of the Uam 1 Residential Environment Management Project, the maintenance area has been released. This area will henceforth be managed according to the 'District Unit Plan'.
The district unit plan aims for more systematic urban management while maintaining the characteristics and culture of the area, instead of large-scale redevelopment. In particular, Somak Village in Uam-dong possesses high cultural heritage value, thus urban planning is expected to be carried out with a focus on preservation.
As a result, this area is likely to progressively improve the living environment while maintaining the existing urban structure. This offers a great possibility of providing residents with a better quality of life.
