The aim of this study is to propose guidelines for construction of the urban governing regime by assessing community building projects in holistic aspects of interests and examining characteristics of governance to which has recently been paid attention in order to tackle the urban decline problems.
For this study, first of all, the backgrounds and the needs of efficient governance for community building by reviewing the literature. As a case study, we investigated some applicable techniques for successful community building projects to a local city, Suncheon, and explored possible alternatives to apply systematic governance strategies to the city for private-public partnerships.
In particular for an analytic study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was applied to the survey of experts evaluation items and important factors. From this study, we found that the main focus of governance based on private-public partnership should be on accountability and leadership of local government for implementation of regeneration strategies. In addition, we found that organization of stable and permanent governance network are the most critical factor. Also legal and institutional support as well as visions and passions of participants and stake-holders should be included among critical factors for an efficient governance based upon private-public partnership.
