Abstract

This paper reveals the reality of efforts to create a place for child-rearing families through the independent activities of residents using the example of Bansong-dong, Busan Metropolitan City, South Korea. The residents of Bansong-dong created a community of practice where they could share their common desire to change the local environment for child-rearing-a common issue they were aware of. In addition to this, in their efforts to change the local child-rearing environment, they sought to beautify the said environment through activities that can be participated in as a family, such as “maeul murals” and “maeul family trips” (literally, village murals and village family trips), as well as building relationships where fellow child-rearing families support each other. Moreover, while seeking cooperation from various bodies such as local kindergartens and universities and through joint efforts from residents, they built a library, a place for child-rearing families, and developed beyond “independent activities” within the community for practice into “independent activities” in cooperation with various bodies. Local childcare workers were also involved in this process and aidedas individual residents. The fact that these activities that greatly changed efforts towards creating a place for local child-rearing families and the local child-rearing environment itself developed into “independent activities” of the residents is of great significance.
