Empirical Analysis and Planning Implications for Community Street in Housing Complexes

In Korea, open spaces of urban housing do not serve residents as regular living areas. We carried out research on the streets of urban housings in that the meaning of traditional playing roles which are not only means of passage but also boundary of life, cannot include present meaning of streets of the urban housing. This research is to propose the direction of planning Community Streets for the recovery of the public- and communal urban housing's streets, researching the present employment condition of Community Streets that were prepared recently. Working with 3 complexes which have been completed since 2000, We studied the present employment condition and planned signification, according to the conditions of their surroundings, the physical conditions of Community Streets, and the relationship among main apartment buildings, open spaces, and facilities. From this study, We came up with several suggestions that can present the planning line of Community Streets. Therefore this research is to create the Community Streets for the activity of the streets, the recovery of the community, and improvement of ambulatory environment.
