Residence is consists of not only the lifestyle of residents with various culture and history but also the physical spaces which contains many aspects of the society. Our country’s rapid economic growth leads to an overpopulation of the city. This situation demanded a new concept of public residence so apartment houses are started to develop. During this time, our country developed monotonous public residence through policies like a ‘construction of million units’. But the quantitative development of the public residence caused a lack of reorganization of community spirit and even the resident’s quantitative life was grown development of qualitative life was still doubtful. Community project has been processed to develop a quality of resident’s life and Neighborhood Street was raised to activate communities in public residence.
The concept of a neighborhood street in public residence started to arise after 2000. Neighborhood Street was not well-developed in existing apartment because it was developed as block units. But recently through the MP/MA policy, large-scale integrated design was activated. Concept of Neighborhood Street appeared since definition on units of residential neighborhood and new town’s avenue was set and needs of macroscale community aroused. But still, a definition of the neighborhood street is not clearly determined. Apartment Houses Research Society mentioned as “planning Neighborhood Street to design multi-units dwelling means idealizing the life based on the street space.” This explains that street has to be a space which can contain resident’s daily life and unite with surrounding block or urban space, not just a space as a pedestrian passage. In other words, Neighborhood Street contributes to everyday-life through one street space which can manage both each person’s routine and community’s activity. .
Mainly, advanced research on Neighborhood Street was proceeded and it was only limited in block units. On this research study, the object is analyzing Neighborhood Street’s concept which is extended to new town and residential neighborhood. New town unit’s Neighborhood Street has circulation type ambulation system of earth and TOD-based design and also plans landmark building so that can take zone recognition and activate the Neighborhood Street through a connection with commercial facility. In Residential Neighborhood a Daily Neighborhood Street is suggested based on educational facilities, neighbor park, community center and designed to overcome an existing functional street system and sociality’s limits through a traditional residential neighborhood design technique. Block unit is being designed to support Neighborhood Street based on residential neighborhood unit and promote an activation in community life but still in large-scale plan, the sophisticated method to design it is not suggested yet.
Existing Neighborhood Street used to be developed as an environmental element but since large-scale city development has been started it is suggested with urban-based facilities and also proceeded as an daily life urban place not just limited in functional space as a passing area.
