My research is the place which lost concept in conservation policies. The principal thesis is that conservation policies, excessive focusing on tourism, have transformed the place commercially. I support this thesis through critical analyses in four areas, Bukchon(北村), Insadong(仁寺洞) which are included in conservation area and Donamdong(敦岩洞), Seochon(西村) which are not yet included in. I argue that the urban conservation policy is a place policy that is based on the publicity. Although the economic benefits of place-industrial approach made prosperity in conservation areas, most of inhabitants felt alienation from the place. Increasing price of land, moved to away of inhabitants, gentrification, overran shopping street are often observed in conservation area. It have been witnessed the dogmatic approach of conservation policy. Besides, the government, which is responsible to make policy, is not considered native what they really need. In the case of Tosokchon(土俗村), where is in Seochon, I witness the place has synergy effects in matching traditional food and house. Another case of Peter Bartholomew's house, where is in Donamdong, I witness Han-Ok's(韓屋) potential power to survive spontaneously through reinterpretation of Han-Ok. In recent years, inhabitants of Dongsomundong(東小門洞)-6ga, where the demonstration took place opposed to the redevelopment of areas, win at the sue to revoke a designation of conservation area. The inhabitants struggle to preserve Han-Ok spontaneously. Minimizing damage of residents caused by economic development should be become major concern in conservation policy. For this, the conservation policies in the city need to take broader sense of 'the place' and 'the publicity'. In addition to, the government has a program for continuous monitoring of policy in conservation areas. Continuous monitoring of policy in conservation areas is not a choice, but a prerequisite for sustainable policies. Whether the policies succeed or not, the life, it lasts in the place.
