Korea’s Road Act lacks a legal basis for the use of such functions in a way that prioritizes people and urban activities over motor vehicles. This is because of the dearth of guidelines on the application of the Regulation on the Criteria for Road Structure and Facilities (Article 17). Despite the inextricable relationship between roads and urban regeneration projects in project zones, central government offices have not reflected this and instead have implemented urban regeneration projects through piecemeal efforts receiving budgetary support. This problematic situation demands a shift toward road policy that extends beyond the traffic function of roads to utilize their public space functions, developing person- oriented spaces for urban activity in accordance with special purpose areas and road functions. Regulations related to the Road Act should be amended to ease the implementation of urban regeneration projects and raise the synergy effects of land and transportation policy. Guidelines also needed for both urban regeneration and the use of such road functions are expected to contribute to boosting urban activities without discrimination and stimulating regional economies. Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) needs to form a cooperative system connecting departments tasked with roads, urban planning, and traffic while simultaneously providing budget to ensure a synergy effect on policy. Pilot projects for urban regeneration and using the public space functions of roads are also required. The MOLIT Road Policy Bureau must devise a budget support program for such functions in urban regions to allow them to raise city competitiveness and improve quality of life. 181210_국토연구원_레포트 42호_.indd 6 2019-01-09 오후 1:11:13 CHAPTER I.
