A Study on Changes of Base Plans in Construction Work in Participatory Playground Renovation Project

Abstract

This study follows our preceding report on reletionship between design goals and base plans in a participatory project for renovating 13 small playgounds in Kyoto City, and aims at examining changes in designs of the base plans and influence of participation in construction works (workdays) on those changes. We reviewed the details of drawings in each playgrouds (the ones before renovation, of base plan, and after construction), and abstructed changing patterns of the design elements.Our conclusions are; (1)compared with base plans, features of participants' own making and uniqueness were regarded as important in construction work, (2)in promoting participation in construction work, feasibility of the base plans and deviation from those showed various levels due to incorporation of participants' eagerness and ideas to base plans, (3)both feasibility and deviation should be valued in consideration of their eagerness.
