After the designation of Naksan Provincial Park was lifted, the Naksan District opened various opportunities for development and regional revitalization.
The Naksan District faces National Route No.7 to the west, Naksansa Temple to the north, Naksan Beach to the east, and Namdaecheon Stream to the south. In this district, there are exquisite natural landscapes in harmony with the sea pine forest, sandy beach, beachfront, and the East Sea, and infrastructure such as various commercial facilities, plazas, and public parking lots. An integrated district's landscape management strategy is required to increase the value of the landscape assets of the Naksan district.
The two major flows that lead directly from National Route No. 7 to Naksan Beach start at Provincial Park Three-way Intersection and Josan Three-way Intersection, and each flow has a different surrounding context.
The flow that starts at the Provincial Park Three-way Intersection starts from the projected site of the Yangyang Aquarium and continues to accommodation facilities, public parking lots, Naksan Plaza, and the sculptures at Naksan Beach. The flow that starts at Josan Three-way Intersection goes through Sea Pine Forest and connects public parking lots and automobile camping grounds. These two main flows which cross east and west are set as the empirical landscape axes, and the framework of the entire landscape is constructed with the east-west two flows and three circulation flows traversing north and south. Starting with two differentiated landscape axes, the monotonous Naksan Beach landscape is induced to transform into a colorful and distinctive landscape.
The axis starting from Provincial Park Three-way Intersection is set as the Culture-Tourism axis, and the space along the axis is reinforced by adding cultural and entertainment space programs that were lacking in the existing Naksan district. Through active infrastructure development, various branded spaces can be provided to attract visitors and to enhance the cultural living environment of the residents in the hinterland.
Another axis, starting from the Josan Three-way Intersection, is set as an Eco-Tourism axis to provide a quiet and peaceful natural landscape for relaxation. It aims to create a space for leisurely recreational tourism by revitalizing the abundance of the existing Sea Pine Forest and reorganizing the outdated infrastructure.
