If residents voluntarily plan their own community center based on their local human resources and material assets not only to realize their ideals of life but also to establish their own community, they can bring forth immense effects in terms of securing physical space, changing behavioral attitude of local residents regarding their social interest and participation and reinforcement of individual capabilities.
For this purpose, based on literature research and practical case survey, this study tried to find out the practical community space design process including resident participatory space design techniques and the tools made with effective organization of such techniques. These space design techniques and tools were developed on the conceptual base of simplicity, flexibility and applicability in order to make the non-expert local residents recognize friendly, to draw the attention of the residents, and to promote their voluntary participation. With a view to achieving process for resident friendly community space design, case studies were carried out on new tools by applying most advanced digital techniques to such existing techniques as local assets diagnosis, community space module and space allocation game, and these techniques and tools were applied to the practical process stage.
These resident friendly design techniques enable the effective sharing of roles and prompt and precise communication among the public sectors, experts and residents, thus achieving an efficiency and rationalization in the process of planning a community center. Such techniques and tools were proposed as alternatives applicable for various cases in the future.
