메이커스페이스를 통한 유휴공간 업사이클링 방안 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In Korea, rapid urbanization since the 1960s has led to a significant increase in the urban population, resulting in a shortage of housing and infrastructure in many urban areas. Consequently, new urban areas have been developed, and the urban footprint has expanded rapidly. However, urban areas are now experiencing a gradual decline in population, compounded by Korea’s current fertility rate of 0.6 as of the year 24, indicating an imminent transition into an ultra-aging society as early as the end of the same year. With the housing supply rate already exceeding 100%, there is a growing societal interest in urban policy strategies that focus on utilizing existing spaces rather than meeting the demand for new ones. Considering idle space as a resource for neighborhood revitalization, this study aims to explore the feasibility and potential of introducing maker spaces in such spaces, which are often challenging to maintain yet possess untapped potential as renewable community resources.
