농촌 커뮤니티센터 증축 유형 분석을 통한 공간 수요 대응 전략 연구

Abstract

This study investigates spatial extension practices of rural community centers in South Korea, aiming to identify typological characteristics and planning implications for responding to evolving spatial demands. A total of 93 facilities were surveyed in three township-level areas located in Jeollanam-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Jeollabuk-do Provinces. The findings reveal that extensions are not simple floor area increases but spatial adaptations reflecting changes in functional requirements and community use patterns. Extension types were classified into functional enhancement, service improvement, and storage addition, with frequent interventions observed in core ancillary spaces such as toilets and storage rooms. The extensions predominantly occurred in the rear and lateral directions, maintaining the single-story configuration of the original structures. Regional differences were noted in extension frequency, spatial composition, and added floor area. Based on the results, this study proposes planning strategies including flexible spatial configurations, integrated circulation planning, minimum standards for ancillary spaces, structural readiness for future expansion, and region-specific spatial models. The study contributes to the discourse on adaptive spatial planning of rural facilities and offers practical insights for sustainable community infrastructure development.
