Industrial paradigm change and awareness change based on development of transportation and communication technology, many idle facilities had been occurred. These idle facilities become the factor which hinder image and environment of the surroundings. In recent years, social, cultural and economic value of idle facilities has been acknowledged and is regarded as an object of rehabilitation as part of urban problem solving. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of recycling design in the exhibition space used as a domestic idle facility and to utilize it as a basic data for creating an exhibition space using idle facilities in the future. The scope of the study was selected from 8 cases which were reproduced as exhibition space within the last 10 years mainly in Seoul and metropolitan area. It is analyzed by five characteristics of historicity, symbolism, preservability, connectivity, and placeness that are analyzed by the characteristics of rehabilitaion design. The conclusion is as follows. First, idle facilities can be divided into idle industrial facilities and idle non - industrial facilities. Second, the analysis of the characteristics of rehabilitaion design of idle facilities showed that the symbolism was much higher than other rehabilitaion design characteristics. Third, as a result of comparative analysis between idle industrial facility exhibition space and idle non - industrial facility exhibition space, historicity, preservability, and connectivity were high in the idle industrial facility exhibition space. In the exhibition space of idle non-industrial facilities, symbolism and placeness were high.

In South Korea, the cafes utilizing idle industrial facilities have become popular recently. The purpose of this study is to understand the causes of these social phenomena and to examine the spatial characteristics of cafes regenerated from idle industrial facilities. For the study method, this study first looked at the unique spatial characteristics of Korean cafes and the cause of the increase in the number of cafes regenerated in South Korea. And then it looked at five cases where factories and warehouses built during the industrialization period (1900s~1970s) of South Korea were regenerated as cafes after 2015. Finally, this study was examined the regenerative characteristics that could be transformed from idle industrial facilities into cafes by the type analysis such as the background of the times and the strategy of regeneration. The results showed that three spatial characteristics(large single, multi-functional and emotional) preferred in South Korean cafes appeared in cafes regenerated from idle industrial facilities.

Under the influence of birth control and rapid urbanization, China's rural school-age population is on a year-by-year decrease, which has led approximately 300 thousand middle and primary schools to idleness ever since 2000. A majority of these idle schools are located in rural areas, almost one half remaining idle due to vagueness in property right. The disposed schools are less efficient for not being combined with the real situation of rural areas. Based on the opportunity of coordinative development of urban-rural areas, this paper analyzes the situationsin terms of the development of public service facilities and the gap between rural and urban areas over the recent years. Then the effective and sustainable reuse scheme to dispose of the idle schools and reshape them into the facilities for the elders, cultural facilities and medical facilities is proposed from the perspectives of perfecting rural public service facilities and guaranteeing citizens' equal share of public service, which both maintains the public nature of the idle schools, reconciles the fuzzy property right, and boosts efficiency of reuse, saves resources, and reduces investment for perfecting rural public facilities.

The purpose of this study is to derive a model of urban regeneration business using idle facilities in the old city center. The scope of the study was set as empty houses and empty stores owned by private companies, and analyzed the 50 central city revitalization projects using idle facilities in 14 local cities in Japan. The results of this study are follows; First, as an urban regeneration strategy using idle facilities in the old town, it was a combination of other functions centering on commercial functions or introducing new functions required in the city center. Second, various financial supports have been provided to induce the utilization of idle facilities by the private sector, and different strategies have been implemented for businesses that need maintenance first. Third, based on the analysis results, it was possible to derive urban regeneration business model. Fourth, in order to operate smooth business, it is a need for an organization that is in charge of reviewing the consistency of upper-level planning and urban guiding functions such as urban revitalization plan, balance review of expenditure and revenues by cost subsidy and loan repayment, consultation among the business partners.

As society alters and building ages, many industrial facilities lost their function and abandoned in central city areas, and sometimes creating many problems. However, many European countries successfully transformed those urban decay to vivid cultural hub. The purpose of this study was to analyze a concept and methods of converting idle industrial facilities to successful cultural spaces. A case study of Tate Modern, Baltic Center for Contemporary Art, and Ruhr Museum was conducted using literature review, site visit, and interview methods. Findings indicated that converting historically significant idle industrial facilities to cultural center had not only reused abandoned site but also helped regenerating adjacent urban areas. This article demonstrates the key factors of successful conversion strategies as convenience, participation, placeness, historicity, and accessibly; and thus an effort to actively enhance the strategic factors were demanded in future conversion projects. A continuous studies on exploring extensive cases in various perspectives are required for further generalization in future studies.

Despite the serious problem of idle communal facilities in rural areas, previous studies focused on determining their status and grasping their current status rather than proposing fundamental solutions. The purpose is to suggest a direction for activating these facilities. To identify the key factors hindering the use of idle and under-utilized facilities in rural areas, a survey was conducted on three groups of interested parties, public officials, operators, and rural residents, to identify items that were effective and examine significant cognitive differences between the groups. Based on the results of the research analysis, it was concluded that although there are differences between the groups in the level of awareness, the causes of preventing facility utilization appear to be similar. Although local governments desire to avoid criticism for idleness, it was found that they are most aware of the limitations of administrative support. Even within the village, residents do not recognize the need for additional facilities unconditionally but do realize their own inadequacies. Thus, despite the differences among stakeholders, it was found that there is a consensus regarding the problem of idle communal facilities in rural areas. As a result, the operating entity is delegated to an individual rather than a joint entity so as to allow the facility to be operated responsibly, and local ordinances are enacted by a group of local officials in order to overcome administrative guidelines limitations. It is suggested that the main issue is securing manpower.

Purpose: This study suggests the multi-purposed emotional space that is one of the alternatives to reuse idle spaces in the city. Because human who is living in modern society begins pursue new contents and leisurely life all the time and live toward the period of high emotion with personal characteristics, architectural industry also need to change its planning and design to satisfy contemporary man and to adjust rapid social mobility. Method: For this study, the buildings where are located near Asia Cultural Complex (ACC) and leaved as idle spaces now that is used for important facilities are used to apply the multi-purposed emotional Space. Essential methodology and terminology were examined to estimate and construct the multi-purposed emotional space. Result: The multi-purposed emotional space provides that people aggressively request subjects to satisfy their emotional attractiveness as well as comforts and pleasures beyond the functional basic requirements in space. On the other words, it can be regarded as limited context to physical space responsive to social and environmental changes for the surrounding, and may maximize user experiences. Since emotions tend to be abstract and subjective while architectural space has pretty physical properties, this study attempts to integrate contrastive properties between emotional and architectural spaces to make a real object.
