Abstract This study proposes public space planning methods for Integrated Operation Schools in response to rapid demographic shifts and emerging educational needs in modern society. Recently, the number of Integrated Operation Schools has surged in metropolitan areas, driven by the concentration of the school-age population following urban redevelopment. However, many of these facilities merely replicate existing school configurations, failing to accommodate future educational paradigms. This research analyzes domestic and international case studies through the lens of developmental stages, a defining characteristic of integrated schools. The analysis identifies four essential requirements for public spaces: (1) distinct zoning for living and learning based on developmental stages; (2) social integration facilitated by central public hubs; (3) flexible spatial composition and furniture to support diverse educational activities; and (4) strong connectivity with the local community. Based on these findings, specific architectural strategies are proposed across four key elements: classroom clusters, central public spaces, furniture and activity zones, and school boundary spaces. This study offers practical guidelines for spatial planning to ensure students of varying age groups can learn safely and effectively in an integrated environment.
