Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine future directions for housing complex renovation using its open space through a field survey on actual utilization of that space. We investigated the renovated open space to evaluate the renovation, and sort out the challenges facing the space, as well as the possibilities for it in housing complex renovation. The results revealed that its most required use was as a children's playground, indicating the importance of response to this requirement. This was followed by usage for taking a walk or resting, which indicated a need for the renovation plan to promote diverse usage. This study suggests that open space should be renovated by making full use of the existing space characteristics so that all generations, from children to elderly, can use it, which may lead to successful housing complex renovation acceptable in an aging society with a low birthrate.
