| Abstract |
The primary objective of this study was to analyze cases of correctional facilities in Denmark and South Korea through the lens of the
‘Progressive Treatment’ strategy and to propose enhancements for the architectural planning of South Korean correctional institutions. Through
a theoretical exploration of the ‘Progressive Treatment’ strategy, a framework for case analysis was formulated. Data from a field trip,
conducted from January 24th to February 22nd, 2022, facilitated an examination of the ‘Progressive Treatment’ strategy’s implementation and
planning methods within Danish correctional facilities. This methodology was then contrasted with architectural planning approaches observed
in Korean institutions. The analysis revealed differences in 1) the distinct demarcation of inmate spaces, 2) the design of multipurpose,
meeting, and work areas, and 3) the structure of dayroom and the creation of standard environments. Based on these findings, the study
recommends that architectural planning improvements for South Korean correctional facilities should include: 1) allocating exclusive areas for
S4 grade inmates, 2)-① reorganizing shared and independent programs within multipurpose zones, 2-② redefining specialized meeting spaces,
3)-① diversifying the design and planning of dayroom, and 3)-② creating a more standardized environment for inmates. |
