A Study on Reconstruction of Seongnam Jungang Market(Public Market)

The public market had problems of society, economy and environment: At rural areas, population decreased and residents' income made change to let users of the market make change of consumption patterns to lose market functions. SSM did business to let the market lose functions and roles, and the market had difficulties at closure according to principle of economy to help neighboring farmers and/or fishermen and aged customers at rural areas. The market had difficulties at modernization of facilities and management because of dual system of ownership and control. Local government had ownership of the market, while association of the merchants managed the market. The association could not manage the market properly to have great difficulties at development of the market. Gun government that suffered from lack of finance invested temporarily from time to time every year not to take effective and fundamental actions. Periodical market should be controlled to be market registered according to legal classification. Not only unregistered market but also admitted market was opened at absence of market manager, so that re-registration was needed to keep market in order in the future.
