Recently, there have been various attempts to recover the quality of urban life. It is obvious that the problems of modern cities have brought a loss of living quality and the exclusion of inhabitants, but there has not been a proper evaluation of these attempts, due to the absence of a theory focusing on quality. This thesis attempts to turn Pepper's 'contextual operation theory' providing insight concerning quality into an urban theory based on Rossi's urban thought, and confirm the values of the theory by applying it to Busan. The 'contextual operation theory' is classified into three types; 'successful working', 'verified hypothesis', and 'qualitative confirmation', and suggests possibilities for solving a problem correctly through 'qualitative confirmation' which deals with quality and texture together. Furthermore, to deduce the quality and texture of an event, this theory suggests the necessity of qualitative circulations between hypothesis and perceptual experience. The similarity between the 'contextual operation theory' and Rossi's 'urban artifact' confirms the possibilities of this theory as an urban theory. By roughly distinguishing areas in the city of Busan into three types based on this theory, the authors can estimate both a way in which quality is treated and a direction by which to recover it.
