A Study on the Direction for Regional-Linked School Complex Facilities

Abstract

It is necessary to study the changes in school facilities in response to social needs. This is because in this process, schools are not only performing existing educational and learning functions, but also symbiotic and linked development with the region. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify regional and complex cases for each district for schools in Seoul, analyze the planned characteristics, and suggest the institutional and planned direction. For this study, reports and data analysis, field case studies, and consultations with officials of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education were conducted through literature research. The procedure of this study is as follows. First, this study investigated and analyzed the emergence and necessity of school complex facilities in Korea. Second, the current status of school complex facilities conducted at elementary, middle, and high school levels in Seoul was analyzed. Third, the types were divided according to the planning characteristics, and the characteristics and limitations of the main cases were analyzed. Finally, the direction of improvement was proposed in terms of planning and institutional aspects. The results of examining 103 schools in Seoul are as follows. First, the number of projects decreased from a specific year, and second, the complexation ratio was lower than the total number of schools, and there were variations by region. Finally, similar programs were combined. Based on this, the institutional and planned direction of the regional-linked school complex facilities was proposed.

This study is part of the results of the 2022 National Research Foundation of Korea’s research funding. Task number: NRF-2020R1A2C1006354.
