Idle space means 'an empty space that is not used and teased'. The causes of idle space are empty spaces such as schools due to population decline, Administrative institutions that were vacated due to the relocation of the provincial office location and relocated urban industrial facilities, discarded transportation facilities such as railway stations due to changes in the transportation system, and old downtown areas that were hollowed out due to new city construction can be cited. Local cultural revitalization using idle space is to actively utilize idle spaces that have been neglected without a clear purpose or use as new value and meaningful spaces through 'cultural revitalization'. European cities have already utilized urban regeneration strategies using culture and art since the early 1980s as a new urban development policy that can utilize idle space. Soho in New York, Tate Modern in England, and 798 Art District in Beijing appeared as successful examples. However, in Korea, there has been no active local culture regeneration using idle space. Ulsan Metropolitan City tried to solve the typical original downtown problem of urban hollowing caused by population decline and decline in commercial districts with a culture-based urban regeneration strategy. Examples include the ‘Culture Street Creation Project’, the Kim Yushin Culture Street, and the Jangsaengpo Cultural Warehouse project. This study examines what kind of effort is needed to revitalize local cultural heritage through three cases of Ulsan City.
