An Competency Level and Implications of Resident Community on Managed Residential Environment Projects in Seoul-Focused on the 34 Community organizations in project areas of completion

ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the actual status and level of capacity of organization, activity, and accounting for the Seoul Metropolitan Government's managed residential environment improvement project and derives implications for future sustainability. Until now, the difference according to the type and composition of organizational competency has been insignificant, and in the case of activity competency, it tended to shrink due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the level of activity and accounting competency differed greatly depending on the competency within the organization, but there was an aspect of efforts to maintain such as operating reserves. This analysis result implies that the existing resident organizations were required to promote the conversion to cooperatives and CRCs to strengthen their independent operation, strengthen management and rational public support for existing resident communities through self and public monitoring. It is urgent to apply a step-by-step action plan that can fundamentally improve the financial soundness of a resident community. This study is meaningful in that it confirms the level of competence of the local community for this project and suggests a direction for self-reliant village management in the future. © 2023, Architectural Institute of Korea.
