Abstract

Various uses of water space are found in modern urban spaces and water plays a central role in the facility environment for urban residents’ recreation. Because water space is reflected in park planning, its design aspects and the approaches to it are diversified depending on the functions of the surrounding environment and the main space. The depth of the diversity is increasing and providing many different experiences to park users. This study reviewed the uses of water spaces in urban parks and the use characteristics, and it examined the possibility of applying water space to urban parks. The water systems built in urban parks are developing from things that people remember from the past to objects with diversity, and planned water systems are changing into plans intended to enhance the educational significance. These changes are becoming features that deepen the significance of urban parks, and they add comprehensive significance by combining with planning about planting. The experimental implication for applying in the urban park around Magok Central Park as proposed under this study has diverse implications, including the aspect of enthusiastically seeking for consideration on the environment together with the utility through education and experiment.
