Gongminkwan is a rare case in Korea. It appears to be a similar organization to the Dong office.
Because of where Gongmingwan is located, various community programs can be carried out
In response to the problem of aging, Japan was also able to find welfare facilities and nursing
facilities for the elderly, with programs for the elderly, in the complex project. It has identified programs
similar to care classes at domestic school facilities, including child‐care services and child support
centers.
4. Implications of the Case Study
Domestic cases, from a spatial aspect, appear to focus on sharing facilities, excluding exchanges or
connections between users of complex and school facilities. They are planned to have separate
entrances and circulation by using annexes or underground spaces as a combined facility to prevent
users of each facility from intruding on each other.
On the other hand, Japanʹs case is divided, but there is an internal space that is used together. On
the program aspect, libraries, gymnasiums, and parking lots that can be used together in school
facilities were easily found. However, in Japan, public offices and facilities for the elderly were found
in programs that were less relevant to school facilities.
In Koreaʹs combined projects, a proper exchange is needed rather than separation, away from the
layout of the annex. In addition, general programs, such as libraries, gyms, and parking lots that can be
used together in school facilities, are also required, but other programs that can solve problems in the
area are needed in consideration of regional connectivity.
5. Conclusion
Recently, various changes and projects have been attempted and researched as interest in the
opening and compounding of school facilities in Korea has been heightened. The purpose of this study
is to propose a direction for planning and policy improvement of school facilities by identifying the
policy changes of school facilities, domestic, and overseas cases of combined facilities, and analyzing
the spatial composition through the layout, sections, and program of school facilities.
A special feature of Japanʹs school facilities was the use of a school site as a public space, and the
horizontal and vertical separation of buildings was used together to separate circulation.
Most domestic cases have been confirmed to be different, in that they use only complex facilities
or part of school sites. The analysis also found that programs that could be used for local residents or
school classes were mostly operated by sharing of facilities. These differences suggest the diversity of
the programs and the potential for changes in facilities in the future in school opening and
compounding facilities.
The results of the study indicated the need to diversify the local spaces, programs, and facilities
that should be proposed for school facilities and creating complex facilities according to the local type
and resident characteristics. In addition, policies are needed for schools as a public facility for local
residents, as well as for the operation of schools in policy areas.
