| Abstract |
This study is conducted to formulate various spatial compositions for mixed-use elementary schools in order to use them as community centers. Accordingly, this study is conducted to analyze currently operating community-use elementary schools to find out about the current condition of mixed-use facilities, and the types of mixed-use facilities will be derived from the analysis. In addition, a more effective method of planning mixed-use elementary schools is investigated. By incorporating various educational curricula and teaching/learning activities, major points, which should be considered when planning elementary schools, will be suggested to effectively respond to the changes of educational environment in the future. The results show that in terms of inner traffic flow type, 9 schools out of the schools under study showed a unificated traffic flow type or a cross traffic flow type. When traffic overlaps, problems of noise, visual distraction, and decreased learning performance can appear. To prevent the conflict between areas and to manage areas effectively, each area should be differentiated by installing doors and shutters and by marking guides, and the facility used for community residents and students should also be scheduled separately to avoid time conflict. In addition, to accommodate the changes of users, flexible space planning options should be considered. |
