1. Study Objectives and Methods

￮As the global impact of climate change and socioeconomic uncertainty has grown, the concept of resilience has become increasingly important in varying fields to overcome and address external shocks. 

￮The concept of urban resilience has also been introduced in the field of urban planning, and efforts are being made to analyze and address urban problems from an urban resilience perspective

￮While major cities have established basic urban and residential environment improvement plans to systematically manage residential areas by analyzing residential characteristics and development projects, there is no systemic residential management in cities in Jeollabuk-do Province except for Jeonju.

￮Residential area management is required to sustain stable residential areas in response to social conditions like aging populations and housing. 

￮This study’s purpose is to analyze different characteristics of residential areas and propose management strategies based on them.

￮Moreover, this study aims to generate spatial data on the characteristics of residential areas in 14 cities and counties in Jeollabuk-do Province that require management from an urban resilience perspective and to propose management strategies for each characteristic type of residential area based on the analysis of the spatial data.

￮The primary analysis method was to establish spatial data using GIS (Geographic Information System) and utilize statistical data analysis. 

2. Conclusion and Policy Suggestion

￮We propose two aspects of residential area management: residential area development and the provision of residential services.

￮In terms of residential area development, we propose management strategies for each type of residential area: deteriorated single-family, deteriorated apartment, well-maintained single-family, and well-maintained apartment. Residential areas are categorized by housing type and age, similar to how basic urban and residential environment improvement plans in other regions have classified their residential areas.

￮In terms of the supply of residential services, we propose providing services like elderly housing, childcare, community centers, safety, and green areas based on the regional characteristics when managing residential areas by type.

￮Regarding deteriorated single-family residential areas, redevelopment projects can be carried out, demolishing existing deteriorated housing and constructing apartment complexes. When it is on a small scale, the area can be redeveloped through horizontal housing development or self-housing development projects, and existing housing can be repaired or renovated as part of an urban regeneration project.

￮For deteriorated apartment residential areas, demolishing and reconstructing existing complexes through large- or small-scale redevelopment projects, or expanding or improving living spaces through renovations without demolishing existing complexes, are recommended.

￮In terms of well-maintained single-family residential areas, urban regeneration projects at the residential district level and the installation of infrastructure facilities, such as community centers, parks, and parking lots, for the improvement of the residential environment other than housing are recommended.

￮Furthermore, for well-maintained apartment residential areas, improving the living environment’s software aspect (such as through community projects to promote community activities) rather than the physical aspect is recommended, since a lot of apartment complexes have community centers.

￮Although it is not legally mandated, urban areas need to establish basic plans for residential environment improvement for the systemic development and management of residential areas. Moreover, rural areas need to establish residential management plans according to their administrative plans and prepare policy strategies in response to urban sprawl and for residential environment improvement.​
