An Analysis of Research Trends of Public Space Design by the Literature Review-Focusing on the Frequency Trends by Analysis Categories-

Globally, urbanization is constantly happening and increasing very rapidly. And in high-density cities, the importance of public space is gradually increasing. Globally, urbanization is constantly happening and is increasing very rapidly. And in high-density cities, the importance of public space is gradually increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the trends of related studies through the analysis of previous studies on public space design. To this end, in this study, previous studies were derived and analyzed by dividing each paper by research topic, research objective, research method, and research subject. The results of this study are as follows; First, it can be seen that research topics on public space design are diversifying. In particular, research reflecting technological advances is increasing. Second, the purpose of research on public space design is to reinforce practical utilization and to accommodate the social change by considering the physical or technical weak. Third, the research method for public space design needs to focus on the user and establish an objective standard. Fourth, research on public space design in the future should expand the diversity of subject. A public space plan is needed that takes into account the vulnerable class arising from the process of social change.
