Used book trading business district used to be the economic center of Bosu-dong, Busan. However, its function has been reduced, causing the problem of population outflow in the region, the decline of the old downtown, and further regional extinction. This is emerging as a major problem in the community. In order to revitalize of declining business district in old downtown, various policy support from the government is needed. Based on this awareness of the problem, this paper attempted to analyze the performance of policy support for the Used book trading business district, focusing on the bookstore alley in Bosu-dong. Prior to the analysis, the policies promoted were roughly divided into four categories: 1) infrastructure expansion, 2) management support, 3) environmental improvement, and 4) tourism promotion. After that, fieldwork and interview survey were conducted on public officials, bookstore managers, employees of related agencies, and visitors related to each policy. As a result of the analysis, infrastructure expansion was operated in line with the purpose of the policy, and it was considered that related policies were effectively implemented. Management support and environmental improvement needed continuous supplementation in the future for some projects, but it was judged that overall results were achieved. In the field of tourism promotion, the effect of attracting tourists was not significant. In the situation where various policies were promoted as described above, the performance was different depending on the detailed project. In connection with this discussion, this study conducted various analyses on policies to support the revitalization of used book trading business district, analyzed the declining business district in old downtown, and derived empirical research results that are difficult to grasp only with literature researchs for interview survey and fieldwork.
