디자인씽킹을 통한 사회적 가치 중심 공공공간디자인 평가에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Public spaces are accessible and open to anyone. They are physical spaces that can be used to carry out functional and conscious community activities in daily life. Public spaces are needed to improve the quality of the urban environment and pursue public development. Even in the evaluation phase of public space design, it is important to determine people’s intrinsic needs, provide discriminatory values and pursue improvements, in processes based on social values as well. However, policy thresholds often focus on the physical aspects of the environment and quantitative growth. Design thinking is a human-centered creative and problem-solving method that redefines the perspective of people who might be exploring internal problems. The study was initiated on the hypothesis that this would allow a more human-driven assessment for directing public policy. (Method) Based on improvements to existing public space evaluation methods, the definition and process of design thinking are studied. We analyze each process item to categorize them into generalized items, i.e., items defined by compiling details on the detailed characteristics of public design derived from domestic and overseas case analysis were generalized. This is used to develop as a converged indicator through conceptualization of items of design thinking and detailed items of assessment of public spaces. In this study, there were a total of six cases, including both domestic and overseas. (Results) Efforts to revitalize public spaces should not be limited to only physical functions and effects, but also fulfil emotional satisfaction based on users’ emotions and values. It consists of reinforcing items in the design thinking process and items in the existing public space evaluation system. (Conclusions) First, it is possible to understand the administrative problems of public space design and the small problems that have yet to be discovered. Second, it is possible to lay the foundation for a higher-dimensional evaluation system by taking into account emotional factors and rational values. Third, it contributes to the process of creating an evaluation-based culture system focused on the position of the consumer. As this study was conducted with a case-based qualitative analysis, there is a need to proceed with quantitative analysis. It is hoped that the study will be used as a basis for consumers’ internal values—that will change more rapidly in the future. In the next study, the research will be continued to objectively analyze the new public space evaluation system combining design thinking and specify methods for practical use.
