Abstract

In particular, single-person households have a higher risk of loneliness and social isolation than multi-person households, which is causing secondary problems such as lonely death and suicide. Accordingly, the government and local governments are making efforts to form social families by revising the single-person household ordinance and strengthening regional social networks such as single-person household community centers and regional integrated care in living areas. However, a network is difficult to sustain if mutual relationships are not formed, and in order to form a network for a single-person household, it is necessary to naturally form relationships and form emotional bonds in a third place other than home and work. Gwangju City has been creating village community spaces since 2016 and operating and managing them under the leadership of residents, forming relationships between residents through natural interactions. In particular, its function is expanding, playing a central role in resolving social problems such as cultural alienation, care, and breakdown in communication by operating programs for single-person households or vulnerable groups. Therefore, based on the continuous increase in single-person households and the resulting changes in the community, this study proposes the concept of a third place for single-person households and seeks ways to utilize village community space. In particular, we looked at the current status of Dong-gu, Gwangju City, an area with a high ratio compared to single-person households nationwide.
