New Business Model and Design of Re-engineering a Cemetery from Cemeteries to Natural Park

Due to the insufficient supply of cemeteries in South Korea, the government has encouraged people to use cremation, and to scatter the cremated ashes after placing limited term at the public cemetery. This model, gathering legal and illegal graves together on the metropolitan area of Korea, provides a structural solution. It is based on the shared sense of a cemetery, a joint ownership or co-ownership of the space of a cemetery. FBS model by Gero(2004) is used for re-engineering a cemetery design development. This framework contains a dynamic character of the context where such design takes place among its function, behavior and structure. This study suggests a new cemetery rather than a simple civil engineering work. It aims for people to have a new perspective on a cemetery and contribute to the society through an eco-friendly business model, so FBS may be an adequate model for such design. I suggest new business model of re-engineering the cemetery from a man-made cemetery to a natural park in true sense of word through the pictures of some motives and the dissolution of individual monuments. It can be one of the innovative business models and designs for re-engineering cemeteries, implementing sustainable environment and changing the business model of the cemetery managemen
