Recently, people became aware of the historical and cultural value of cities newly and began to take a special interest in historical and cultural resources that are possessed by a local area with a view to making use of them as a source for urban competitiveness. Therefore, this study aims to connect the dots of the characteristics of urban spatial structure according to types of castle towns which have been a central role of local areas for a long time to suggest the development plans in accordance with the types of castle towns through collecting opinions about the development direction of castle towns. As a result of analyzing development plans in accordance with the types of castle town as well as urban spatial structure, this study came to a conclusion as follows: First, castle towns that conserve castle as a shape closer to the original form should become a growth center in history and culture by linking its life zone and economic zone to surrounding areas, leading to a growing small and medium-sized city. Second, a city, where some parts of the castle remain, should promote the invigoration of the local economy through the inflow of talented people who are able to use historical and cultural resources that city holds by securing urban competitiveness by attracting creative industries related to cultural arts to the city. Third, regarding the castle towns, where the site only remains, and the castle was destroyed, the qualitative improvement should be a prerequisite through providing facilities in response to the basic demand of urban spatial structure, prior to the restoration project of the castle town, and the validity of restoration project should be deliberately examined.
