This study aims to analyze the management status, including repair and utilization of 24 railway station buildings registered as National Registered Cultural Heritage in South Korea and to examine their key characteristics, and, based on the results, consider management strategies for railway station buildings. These railway stations played a crucial role in Korea’s modernization and possess historical, architectural, socioeconomic, and cultural significance beyond their function as transportation facilities. Accordingly, this study investigated the management status of railway station buildings including repair and utilization through literature review and data analysis. The repair status was analyzed by categorizing it into roofs, walls, and windows, and the analysis revealed a tendency to preserve the original form during post-registration repairs. In addition, the analysis of utilization status showed that while some railway stations are used for various purposes, there are cases where stations remain unused despite having been repaired.
