This study was arranged and analyzed general action research from a perspective of cultural-sociological theory about ‘community culture center', a learning community in urban regeneration district of Busan. In-depth interview with participants was conducted so as to examine the changes the region and residents experienced as managing of 'community cultural center'. For the theoretical background, community culture center was approached by Elias' figuration that various mechanisms of all formations related to human, such as individuals, groups, organizations and society, are mutually connected, Simmel's space of social interaction and intimacy discourse. This study confirmed that culture center, a social space, becomes self-productive and self-regulating through the figuration and culture center of the region is social space formed by interaction among the people beyond the concept of physical space. As in the social space place identity is made and individual life and experience are created, creation of learning community which is making new culture was confirmed. For managing learning community based on the interaction among the people in urban regeneration project by village unit, measures of the process to create the learning community autonomously and improving capabilities of people should be prepared.
