Problem

• Government– Sets up strategies and plans– generally follows the planning principles of

administrators→ Descriptive and Explanatory

• A New Approach– Detailed studies on the everyday lives of com-

mon people→ Exploratory

Urban Design

Design Methodology

• “Case study is an ideal design for understanding and interpreting observations of social phenom-ena.”

• “Case study can investigate a contemporary phe-nomenon within its real-life context, especially if the boundaries between phenomenon and con-text are not clearly evident”

Case Study

Design Methodology

• Enable the researcher to “better understand peo-ple’s behavior in the environment… it is method of looking at action between people and their en-vironment”

• Should be unobtrusive

Observations

Design Methodology

• Interviews clearly offer an advantage in supple-mentary data collection

• “Why have people done it?”

Direct Inter-views

홍콩 시장 Case

• Three sites for cases– High population density– Full of temporary stalls, oldest market street– Typical common public spaces

1. Fu Shin Street 3. Fa Yuen Street2. Chun Yeung Street

홍콩 시장 Case

• Guerrilla war between the authorities and unlicensed hawkers– Direct confrontation are rare– Hawkers conduct business during ‘non-

office” hours of the authorities Guer-rilla war

– Hawkers insinuate themselves into the Hawker Control Teams to “survive”

User-Centric Perspective

• The focus of planning and design should be shifted from producers and products to users.

• The high degree of “person-environment fit” can be obtained with the street users participating in changing their environ-ment.

논점 2: User Research?

Henry Ford

A great quote from Henry Ford, regard-ing the first car he ever built:

"If I'd asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse.“

Steve Jobs

Q: Did you do consumer research on the iMac when you were developing it?

A: No. We have a lot of customers, and we have a lot of research into our installed base. We also watch industry trends pretty carefully. But in the end, for something this compli-cated, it’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them. That’s why a lot of people at Apple get paid a lot of money, because they’re sup-posed to be on top of these things.
