도시재생 활성화를 위한 주민참여기반 사회적경제조직의 역할과 지속가능성

Abstract

The study began with the question of whether Social Economic Organizations, which has recently emerged as a new key player in urban regeneration, will continue to be a key player for urban regeneration in decline areas. In order to be sustainable for Social Economic Organizations as an alternative player for urban regeneration, four prerequisites are required: First, they must participate in the initial phase for planning of “the urban regeneration revitalization plan”, share the urban regeneration vision, and participate in the project planning and implementation plan with the local government and the local residents. Second, the local government should provide policy support to enhance the capabilities of Social Economic Organizations. Third, close alliance and cooperation with various actors are necessary to ensure the independent operation of Social Economic Organizations and the sustainability. Finally, Social Economic Organizations need expert support for their operation and management and should operate through cooperation with the local “Urban Regeneration Support Center”. Given these prerequisites, Social Economic Organizations can continue to monitor and evaluate to gain independence and competence in the process of solving problems. In order to find these ways to ensure the independence and competence of Social Economic Organizations, this study developed diagnostic and evaluation indexes to determine the sustainability of Social Economic Organizations for the urban regeneration districts in Yeongju. This assessment process is intended to verify the four prerequisites for Social Economic Organizations to become key players in urban regeneration projects. As a result, the study suggested alternatives to ensuring the independence and sustainability of Social Economic Organizations; improvement of “the urban regeneration revitalization plan” processes, construction of proper scale community facilities and development of a business model.
