This study analyzed the physical environment evaluation of visitors and residents in Gamcheon Culture Village, a tourist destination in a declining neighborhood. We analyzed the physical environment evaluation of visitors from the review text of TripAdvisor, and analyzed the physical environment evaluation of residents using objective indicators. The results are as follows. First, visitors to Gamcheon Culture Village positively recognized the physical environmental elements as tourism resources. Second, the physical environment evaluated from the perspective of residents is in considerable decline, and it is difficult to activate new construction and renovation. Third, visitors positively evaluated the physical environment of Gamcheon Culture Village, but it was found that for the same physical environment factors, it was a poor residential environment from the perspective of residents. Through these results, it was judged that the slum tourism-oriented urban regeneration has limitations in improving the physical environment. We suggest that for sustainable urban regeneration and urban tourism as slum tourism attractions, policies to promote new construction and renovation are needed to improve the actual residential environment.
