3. Conclusion
In order to revitalize small‐scale housing redevelopment projects, related system and policies are
being enhanced in Korea. At this time point, the goal of this research was to contribute to the
improvement of the system by deducing the implications through the study on the public support
system and characteristics related to small‐scale redevelopment projects in France. For this, the primary
characteristics of the OPHA, N‐PNRU, and PNRQAD were studied first, resultantly, the below
implications were drawn.
First, the French housing redevelopment projects have proceeded in ways to maintain and develop
the identity and historicity of the region with the remodeling method that can preserve cultural heritage,
rather than the demolition method. This not only enhances physical improvement but also promotes
social mix and community revitalization with support in social and environmental dimensions,
eliminating regional disparities and enhancing local sustainability.
Second, the French government enforces the implementing agency and financial support
depending upon the characteristics of projects and underscores citizen participation under government
initiatives. Furthermore, from the beginning of the business plan, they focus on pre‐research and
listening to the opinions of residents. And they attempt to bridge the gap between regions through not
only physical improvement but also community revitalization and social blending.
Third, the OPHA conducts business through strong partnerships between national and local
governments to provide differentiated public support based on regional characteristics. Although it has
limitations that it cannot guarantee architectural improvement since it is intended for occupied
residential areas, yet, to compensate for this, technical and social programs such as Protection Plan (PLS)
and Public Interest Programs (PIG) are being implemented.
Fourth, they anticipate and prepare for future living conditions such as future changes, population,
and infrastructure. The major feature of the N‐PNRU is the projects which aim to improve the quality
of the energy environment for a sustainable environment, as well as the residential area and the
development of public facilities and commercial facilities in order to solve the fundamental problems
of the region.
Fifth, when conducting the PNRQAD, they consider social, historical, urban planning, and
economic aspects syntagmatically to support underdeveloped areas. While preserving and promoting
the value of the cultural heritage of the Old Town and creating the sustainably residential environment
for residents, the project also includes solutions to unemployment problems through the activation of
commercial activities.
As such, the French housing regeneration project has taken social aspects and the voices of
residents together to create a sustainable city, not just focusing on physical redevelopment and
reconstruction. This implies the significance of integrated consideration of physical, social, and
environmental aspects in relation to improving the system of small housing regeneration projects in
Korea.
