초록

Songdo Beach was established in 1913 as the first public beach of Korea. This year, it will celebrate its 100th birthday along with the development with Busan Port. Songdo Beach is the only beach located near the city center along with its long history which still plays roles as a beach. Songdo Beach is not only a beach but also history of the city as a seaport. It is also the spring of memories and nostalgia for Busan citizens. Studying the formation and development processes of Songdo Beach, often referred to as a Naples in Asia which enjoyed national popularity until the 1960s and 1970s will be a very critical task to understand another cultural layers of Busan as a seaport.
Songdo Beach was close from the downtown, becoming a resting place for citizens exhausted from daily life and also worked as a park. Therefore, Songdo Beach worked as a place for students of Busan for physical training under the colonial rule, a destination for picnics, and a venue for gatherings of members from various public agencies, local groups, and youth clubs. Various infrastructure facilities of Songdo established under the colonial rule were transferred after the national independence. Especially, during the Korean War, Songdo invited many politicians, writers, and schools, playing important roles to supplement the original downtown of Busan both in cultural and physical or spatial terms. Later, Songdo Beach became the country's best beach in the 1960s and met its peak as more than 100,000 visitors came on July 26, 1964. The reasons that Songdo Beach played various complex roles as a comprehensive leisure town in the 1960s include geographic proximity to the original downtown, cable cars, pedestrian overpasses, and play facilities unavailable in other areas, and streamline ships for amusement, and conger sashimi dishes with tastes excellent enough to be exported to Japan.
Songdo deteriorated with water pollution from the mid 1970s and was reborn after ceaseless efforts since 2000. The revival of Songdo, actually, witnesses the flow of original downtown redevelopment of Busan. If we aim at another 100 years of Songdo Beach, we already have answers as to the attitudes of Busan citizens in relation to development of Songdo Beach as well as redevelopment of seaside and waterside areas such as Bukhang Port.
