Revitalization Strategies for Community Facilities in National Rental Housing Based on Resident Age Distribution - Focusing on Three Cities in Jeonbuk: Jeonju, Iksan, and Gunsan -

This study explores improvement strategies for community facilities in national rental housing complexes, reflecting the age distribution and life-cycle needs of residents.The study focused on twenty-one complexes built between 2003 and 2018 with over 300 units in Jeonju, Iksan, and Gunsan.The methodology involved a comprehensive cross-analysis utilizing 2022 demographic data, LH community facility area data, and 87 community program activity cases, supplemented by a seven-day on-site survey to evaluate actual spatial use.The analysis revealed that rigid, provider-oriented standards, do not to meet the evolving demands of residents.This has caused a significant spatial imbalance where childcare facilities are oversupplied, while senior centers and small libraries are critically insufficient.Furthermore, middle-aged residents (30.1% of the population) are excluded from community programming, leading to fragmented space use.To resolve these issues, the study proposes restructuring surplus childcare areas into flexible, multi-generational hubs and remodeling idle facilities for middle-aged job training and social exchange.Additionally, it suggests transforming senior centers into comprehensive care spaces, incorporating underused rooftops, and integrating welfare information systems and professional coordinators for single-person and vulnerable households.Ultimately, these improvements aim to transform communal facilities into active social hubs that foster social capital and ease intergenerational interaction.
