Abstract

This study analyzed the characteristics of the Japan’s urban redevelopment project and the UR participating union member system in order to introduce the public union member system in domestic redevelopment projects. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were obtained. First, business consent requirements in Japan is higher than in Korea. In Japan as well as in Korea, the project implementer such as individuals, associations, local governments, and URs participates in projects, but the land area subject to residents' consent requirements in Japan is more stringent than in Korea. Second, participating union members are selected at the promotion committee stage. In the initial stage of the project, UR and others participate in the project only when there is a request from residents and only where the private sector does not participate as a project partner, so that the project can be implemented stably along with financial support needed for the project. Third, the form of residents’ organizations for business promotion is very diverse. In Japan, residents make decisions in the process of promoting redevelopment projects, and local governments, coordinators, and consultants support residents’ organizations. The fourth feature is the role of coordinator to moderate and to conduct consultations with the parties concerned. In Japan's redevelopment project, the coordinator comprehensively coordinates the work of residents, unions, local governments, business operators, etc. in order to lead the drafting of business plans together with consultants in specialized fields. Fifth, UR participating union member systems are institutionally operated. Since 2003, it has been operated for about 20 years, and participating union members have become a catalyst for redevelopment projects.
