| description | Cheong Wa Dae, a site of profound historical and cultural significance, holds great potential to be reimagined as a sustainable cultural landmark that meets contemporary social, economic, and environmental needs. This research explores strategies to preserve its historical identity while transforming it into a dynamic and accessible public space. Using a qualitative approach, this study integrates history and architectural reviews and sustainability frameworks, including alignment with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Programs were evaluated through the Sustainability Impact Assessment tool to measure their ecological, cultural, and socio-economic impacts. The findings reveal that targeted strategies—such as utilizing the physical environment for global events, promoting biodiversity, and enhancing engagement through cultural and culinary experiences—are essential for sustainable transformation. These initiatives align with 11 of the 17 SDGs, with 7 goals showing a Direct Positive Impact and 4 showing an Indirect Positive Impact. This study concludes that by merging heritage preservation with innovation and sustainability, Cheong Wa Dae can evolve into a vibrant, economically viable public space and a model for cultural place-making, fostering public engagement, economic growth, and long-term ecological benefits. |
