Abstract This study aims to examine the impact of local knowledge on urban regeneration projects regarding urban health; the mediated effects of the physical and socioeconomic aspects of resident-based projects pertaining to the relationship between local knowledge and urban health were analyzed. The spatial scope targeted 25 autonomous districts in the Seoul metropolitan area, and the content scope centered on 53 urban regeneration projects in Seoul with health statistics from the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The time limit was set to seven years from 2012 to 2018, one year after the start of Seoul-type urban regeneration projects. A correlation and multiple regression analysis was conducted to analyze the impact of local knowledge on urban regeneration projects involving urban health. A total of six variables were organized into local knowledge corresponding to independent variables of local status and resident participation, resident-based projects corresponding to mediator variables of physical and socioeconomic projects, and urban health corresponding to dependent variables of mental and physical health. Analysis results of these variables revealed that resident participation in local knowledge had a significant impact on mental health as it relates to urban health through socioeconomic projects that were resident-based projects.
