Abstract
Recent years, it became one of the serious problems that the number of the vacancy of commercial facilities at the neighborhood centers is increasing. This study aims to analyze the changes of the situation around residential areas and examine the planning, maintenance, and management methods of neighborhood centers. The results of this study are as follow;(1) In the planning method, the one-center system is not effective to cope with the commercial facilities existing densely in the surrounding area. The location and the accessibility from the surrounding area became more important.(2) In the maintenance and management method, it is necessary for activating neighborhood centers to repair and improve the facilities more sooner and abolish the limitation of the shop type.(3) The residents of the commercial facilities begin to consider their activities as the town management. In the neighborhood centers, more spaces for the activities such as wide and flat open spaces and multipurpose spaces in the commercial facilities are needed.
