| Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to examine characteristics of the place that frequently used for gathering in external space of urban neighborhood, and to grope for design application plan. This research is based on the behavior observation and interview of southern area of Seoul and metropolitan area and we extracted 13 CBS for expected characteristics. In case of CBS, the dimension of space is relatively big, use of space is more complex, and the uses of resource have more diversity than non-CBS. Thus, environments have to assist the expansion, reduction and variation of gathering. Also, it is requisite to plan the space for various classes can mix. The status of CBS in the present urban neighborhood in Korea is has high degree of insecurity. The occurrences of CBS is 40.7 % in main targeted CBS place, this means behavior pattern s are also very insecure. This insecurity in present built urban neighborhood in Korea is the result of non-consideration of resources that can increase the CBS of residents, and absence of understanding in common interest of residents. For increasing community, it is important to find out the common interest of residents, also, from such common interest, survey the gathering behaviors, and find out resources that can bring out behaviors. |
