Relationship between Social Problem Solving Policy, Institution and Project and Components of the Public Design Promotion Master Plan

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Our country, which has achieved a rapid development under special circumstances, is believed to have many social problems of its own to overcome. As the country made technology-centered advance, not man-centered advance which should have led to national reconstruction through industrial development, our people had to seek development going through many inconveniences in community life. However, change of society and values at last made people not want such things any more and diverse alternatives needed accordingly. To meet them diverse policies and schemes were established, while professional policy, institution and project for social problem solving came into being. This study has a purpose to present the relationship available for public design in order to increase efficiency of the social problem solutions attempted in our country. (Method) Considering domestic and foreign literature on public design made it clear that public design is not a concept of universal beauty but it means procedural design in a problem solving area. The current of the times has embossed the concept of public design and the ripening civic society has drawn citizens’ attention to design, making the role of public design important. Through contents analysis, particular subjects or the contents repeatedly described or mentioned were drawn into keywords. These keywords were investigated to propose the role of public design through contextual analysis of the relationship between social problem solutions and public design. This study first, through contents analysis on domestic and foreign papers on public design, drew keywords repeatedly mentioned in public design to categorize. Based on the contents analyzed, component of public design was sorted into five kinds via contextual analysis which can integrate diverse key words into the same meaning. Second, three schemes of policy, ordinance and project which directly refer to social problem solving at home were analyzed with the index of relationship to public design via contents analysis and contextual analysis. (Results) This study proved the relationship of elements public design drawn via contents and contextual analysis to specific elements in social problem solutions. In social problem solving, public design should be grafted from the perspective of planning. (Conclusions) Public design has nothing to do with a traditional concept of design, an aesthetic element to support industries in the Industrial Age. Instead, this field embraces diversity and has procedural propensity. Public design seeks to solve social problems including characteristics of each problem. Public design embraces diversity and these diverse items need to be combined with public design in a pre-planned way that encompasses each of spheres. This study has an aim to propose relationship usable for public design in order to increase efficiency of the social problem solutions attempted in our country.
