A Case Study on Spatial Design for Enhancing Regional Value in Rural, Mountain, and Fishing Villages
This study analyzes domestic and international cases of idle space revitalization in rural, mountain, and fishing villages as well as in urban areas to explore progressive directions for regional design from the perspective of inclusive spatial design in rural contexts. The analysis confirms that idle spaces can serve as creative hubs that reflect the cultural assets and identity of local communities. Design strategies that incorporate resident participation and the local cultural context contribute to spatial transformation and the restoration of regional identity. Rural cases demonstrate the potential of inclusive public hubs that integrate education, welfare, and income generation. Resident engagement, cultural and artistic integration, multifunctionality, and the pursuit of sustainability are identified as key elements of regional revitalization, and the study emphasizes that spatial design strategies that holistically integrate these elements can significantly contribute to the recovery and development of local communities.
