In Gyeongju a new railroad station will have been opened by 2010. So a drastic switch of thinking is necessary in establishing urban development policies for Gyeongju. Added to this, the newly established law for the preservation of historic city will be expected to give much effect on the urban development policy of Gyeongju city. By this law being enforced, most of the old streets of Gyeongju city will be included in this special preservation area and historical environment area which will be newly designated. Then, the basic for the preservation of old street will be strengthened. Therefore, the development policies of Gyeongju as historic city depend on the harmonious urban development between the old streets and new Gyeongju city. I think it is the best choice to have a dualistic urban system which plan to construct new city around the neighboring area of the new Gyeongju railroad station of Geong-Bu express railroad and around the old streets to preserve the historical scenery in the old streets area, culture, education, sightseeing industry should be emphasized, while administration business, economy should be succeed in the new city. As from this new city area neighboring railroad station to Daegu, or Busan, it will take less than 30 minutes. And housing cost will be relatively cheap, the potential ability of growing as the behind residential city is very big. Therefore, if modern urban facilities are well equipped and the connection with neighboring cities is smoothly done, Gyeongju can be developed as an ideal city which can satisfy not only cultural and educational desire but urban economic activities of citizens.
