| Abstract |
During the final stages of community-based regeneration, this study explores the attitudes and conditions of the community regarding their
level of involvement in the project. This study focused on a small-scale regeneration project in Pohang, emphasizing community participation,
and the community's activities were analyzed. The investigation revealed that disunity within the local community, stemming from residential
areas and social strata, significantly influenced both the direction and implementation of the project. The uneven distribution of involvement
among residents not only fostered isolation and discord but also led to imbalanced facility placements. The challenges arising from
community division and discord were prevalent in current policy directions, which prioritized indicators of decline over community attributes
when selecting target areas. It is imperative to develop community regeneration policies that prioritize the inherent characteristics of
communities, rather than relying solely on formal and physical factors that may not guarantee community cohesion. |
