사용자 참여디자인을 적용한 학생 자치활동 공간구성 연구 : 농촌지역 소규모 중학교의 유휴공간 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to formulate a basic plan for an autonomous student activity space utilizing the idle space of a small middle school in a rural area. User participatory design, consisting of the stages of preparation, investigation of the current status, idea deduction, idea specification, opinion adjustments, and suggestion of a basic plan, was employed for this study. The results of the study were as follows. First, the target space was planned for student leisure, small group interaction, extracurricular and club activities, career experience, and community connection. The limited interior space was connected to an empty outdoor lot. It would be useful for performing projects or simply relaxing outside during free time and after lunch and school. Second, the target space met the design criteria, i.e. openness and variability, connection and continuity, collaboration and interaction, diversity, and playability. Students of different learning types were addressed by preparing individual and small group space and duplex and platform space. Third, various user participatory design methods were employed, including questionnaires, insight tours, keyword mapping, idea sketches, modeling, writing a diary, and sharing outcomes and feedback. Opinion adjustment at the meeting with school officials was helpful, as was the workshop, to compensate for missing class planning parts. Future projects and research could include parents and local residents as users to establish the role of schools in the local community.
