| Abstract |
As the conflicts between neighbors living in the same apartment become a social issue, many local governments are actively carrying out community participatory programs. Therefore, it is imperative to verify the formation and improvement of relationship between participants, who are the part of the community programs. The purpose of this study is to microscopically prove and analyze the effect of the community programs focusing on 'the change of neighbor relations'. In order to fulfill the goal, the case studies from three apartments in Seongbuk-gu are selected and analyzed by utilizing social network analysis. The results are as follows. First, participants mostly built a social network with neighbors through periodical meeting and interaction even though they haven't known each other before. Second, although the relationship between participants was improved in terms of individuals and community, the scope of the group that had a higher degree of connectedness did not change significantly. Third, there is a difference between the degree of an actual change in the neighbor relations and the degree of influence that they recognized the program would have. |
