Urban Regeneration Involving Communication between University Students and Residents: A Case Study on the Student Village Design Project.

This study analyzed the effect of the application method of community planning in the case of the Student Village Design Project. Urban regeneration is a method that develops a city with the direct involvement of residents. However, in Korea, urban renewal projects are focused on external expansion, thereby generating conflicts among residents and prolonging these projects. In particular, university towns are experiencing various types of conflicts compared with other urban regeneration projects because the lives of residents and university students are overlapped. Therefore, the research method is conducted as follows to analyze the communication effect in accordance with the purpose of the study. First, we reviewed community planning methods as led by university students. Second, we applied community planning to the project. Third, the results and effects of resident communication were analyzed after applying community planning. Fourth, in the student-led urban regeneration, a community planning method that has results and effects in resident communication was derived. We found that community planning is a significant means of communication between university students and residents. The concrete finding was derived from necessary and optional methods that have high communication effects with residents among the community planning methods.
