This research aims to investigate evaluation framework of environmental formative works that are regulated by law in urban space, and to suggest the directions of improving the framework for better city environments. The concept of environmental formative works in urban space was identified and social situations and factors including visitors and the cognitive process of urban environments, were analyzed. This research suggests a new method based on the analysis of existing regulations and problems of environmental art or formative works. The public regulations and evaluation methods of the Korean major cities including Seoul, Daejeon, Busan and Gwangju, were examined on environmental formative works. The objective was to suggest an evaluation framework for creating human values of urban culture environment instead of focusing on the matters between the owner of the architecture and the artist of formative works. By identifying socio-cultural value of art decoration related regulations and improving the level of the public formative art evaluation scheme, this study helps addressing the administrative problems and constructing a conceptual framework of evaluation to improve urban culture environment for both human and environment.
