| Abstract |
More schools are losing students since the recent birth rate in Korea is rapidly going down. In the downtown Seoul, the reduction of student is serious with disappearing residential area because of high density development of office and commercial district. Most school districts in old parts of Seoul have ether low occupancy rate or low preference rate so that students in those schools have the problem that has produced negative results - students without access to various educational program as well as walking distance schools. A new schooling system that was introduced in 2009, the so-called intensive class completion system envisions encouraging the number of schools under occupied can be networked to provide integrated public education by means of restructuring the school district. In addition to the existing schools, it is necessary to establish a branch school system that can accommodate relatively younger students from the first year to the third in the urban redevelopment around the metro stations without construction public schools. This research suggests that there might be a school district system which relates to the parent's working place in order to not only minimizing commute time but also maximizing contact time between the parent and children. |
