Abstract In the 2000s, community regeneration and improvement of the quality of life began to be more importance and a new paradigm is required for the use of public spaces to improve the quality of urban environment. In this aspect, this study looks at domestic and abroad regulations and standards related to uses of public spaces from the perspectives of ‘publicness’, ‘utilization’ and ‘sustainability’. Based on the minimum but detailed regulations, both public and private sectors share their responsibilities on city revitalization through management of public spaces. Through this system, the public sectors can have advantages such as budget reduction and the private sectors can provide high-quality management based on professional knowledge and funds. The conclusion was drawn as follows. First, a legal system needs to be established in a level of regional base that considers uses and management of public spaces as comprehensive approach. Second, in order to facilitate private participation, regulations on private activities are mitigated, and the establishment of an institutional foundation is required to allow the private sector to voluntarily manage public spaces. Lastly, it is necessary to change the perception of public spaces based on the expansion of citizen participation and active promotion.
