Abstract In response to the limitations of traditional apartment-style rental housing developed by the government and private sectors, South Korea introduced third-sector-led social housing in the 2010s. This study examines community space planning and operational characteristics of such projects in Seoul from 2015 to 2021. The housing projects are categorized into four models: Land Lease, Renovation, Publicly Commissioned, and Buy-to-Rent. Spatial design and operational structures were analyzed to identify key patterns and challenges across these models. Findings reveal distinct differences in physical layouts and program offerings influenced by public involvement timing, ownership, and third-sector participation. The Land Lease and Buy-to-Rent Models support integrated planning with neighborhood facilities, while the Renovation and Publicly Commissioned Models generally provide only basic communal spaces like shared kitchens, dining areas, and meeting rooms. Most models follow standardized programs constrained by time and budget; however, the Buy-to-Rent Model allows greater flexibility, enabling customized programs tailored to resident needs through its procurement and operational framework.
