| Abstract |
The Urban Regeneration Act enacted in 2013 provides a turning point from the physical redevelopment of existing urban spaces to holistic urban regeneration that restores economic, social, and cultural vitality. Thus, social regeneration is one of the key drivers and the ultimate indicator in urban regeneration projects. However, social regeneration is hard to monitor as physical improvements, making it difficult to measure. This study focused on the analysis of the existing perspectives of residents and store owners on the changes in social networks and interactions throughout the Dasi Sewoon Project. Social network changes were surveyed at the beginning and the end of the project from the perspective that existing residents included the utilization and satisfaction of the project. The research found that the existing social network suffered a noticeable shrinkage and, in some cases, a complete loss left many residents to vex over not having a safety net. Like many other urban regeneration projects, Dasi Sewoon Project focused on new common space creation and management to encourage new social connections and collaborations with outsiders. However, this research provided a ground for providing the minimum safety net in urban regeneration projects to safeguard and protect the existing residents' livelihoods. |
