The results of the survey conducted mainly in the Gyeongsangnam-do province are as follows : First, 31.6% (65 schools) of the total elementary schools in the eight Cities Dong Districts of Kyungsangnam-Do Province are larger than the appropriate schools. 51.9% (107 schools) are the most suitable schools. The number of small schools with less than 300 students was 35 (17.0%). Of the 138 elementary schools in City Up-Myun districts, 11.6% (16 schools) account for big schools larger than the appropriate size. The number of schools with adequate size is 18.1% (25 schools), while 97 schools with 70.3% of small schools occupy the majority. Of these, 10.1% (14 schools) account for less than 150 small schools. Second, three large schools (2.2%) are larger than the appropriate schools among the 137 elementary schools in the nine districts of Gyeongsangnam - do, and 17 schools (12.4%) are suitable for small schools. Less than 300 small schools 117 schools (85.4%), of which 111 small schools (81.0%) accounted for the majority. Third, as a result of the analysis by the subdivision into the provinces, municipalities, and counties, small - scale schools accounted for the majority of municipalities and counties. Therefore, considering the local environment, it is necessary to establish appropriate school proper size policy differentiated from municipal school.

The results of a survey on 6,192 elementary schools across the country in April 2019 are as follows : First, there was a correlation between the number of students and the number of classes. Second, 2,788 schools (45.0%) were small schools, 1,931 schools (31.2%) were suitably sized schools, and 1,473 schools (23.8%) were large schools among the 6,192 elementary schools surveyed. Third, there was a significant difference in the proportion of small schools, suitably sized schools, and large schools by province. Among the 8 metropolitan cities, Seoul had the lowest percentage of small schools at 9.8%, followed by Incheon at 18.0%. Among the 9 provinces, Gyeonggi Province had the lowest rate at 26.8%, while Jeollanam-do had the highest rate at 87.2%. This means that adopting the same standard for abolition of small schools throughout different provinces can cause serious problems. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect the educational conditions of each province.

The results of a survey on 113 elementary schools in Jeju-do in December 2018 are as follows: First, the most newly established schools in the last 30 years were long-term decline Type 3 (56 schools), followed by Type 9 (W-type, 24 schools), which was more than 30 years old. Second, one of the main achievements of this study is the discovery of four types (type 1, type 2, type 8 and new-type) that are well characterized by Jeju province. Third, the most smaller school has 50 schools (44.3%) and small schools (less than 300 students) are 77 schools, accounting for 68.1% of the total ; 6 the most largest elementary schools (5.3%), 13 large schools (11.5%), 17 optimal sized schools (15.0%), 27 small schools (23.9%). In particular, it is not an exaggeration to say that almost all schools are small schools except for a few schools in Jejudo Ub-Myun areas. This means that it may cause serious problems if it is adopted as a standard of abolition of small schools in the same standard of management rather than reflecting regional characteristics of Jejudo province.

This study investigated and analyzed the rise and fall trend of enrolled students during the recent 30 years with the subject of 607 elementary schools in 11 Education Support Centers (25 Gu-districts) in Seoul to provide the basic data related to establishing the school accommodation plan of the Seoul Education Office. In particular, the study focuses on the 53 small schools in Seoul and examines whether a correlation exists between the 8 factors of the school accommodation plan and the increasing and decreasing of enrolled student numbers. First, 'school establishment policy' should not be a short-term therapy but a long-term and predictable sustainable policy. Second, among the eight factors, there seems to be a very high correlation between the 'aged low-rise house districts' and 'spatially isolated areas'. Third, 'close-packed apartment complexes' and 'rental apartment complexes' are also highly correlated. Fourth, the planning factors such as 'joint school districts, the reconstruction of apartment complexes and the connection to commercial districts' seem to be correlated to some degree. Therefore, further studies are needed to overcome these problems.

This study is the consideration of related characteristics between infants of the kindergarten and the lower level children of the elementary school. The characteristics of infant's growth show the homogeneous and successive peculiarity in the aspects of physical, intellectual, emotional, language learning and social development and the characteristics of moulding expression show similarity in developmental stage. So, It is proper that the mini-school for the lower level students of kindergarten and elementary school could be built as the branch unit of neighbourhood.

Due to the lack of available site in urban setting outdoor space in elementary schools are getting smaller and tend to be replaced by indoor spaces. Focusing on courtyard, piloti space and roof space, this study analyzed the current condition and usage of the outdoor spaces in the urban mini-schools based on the analysis of architectural drawing, interview, survey, and observation. Following issues are found for appropriate planning for outdoor spaces in the urban mini-schools. Firstly, roof space needs to be coordinated with the physical education and outdoor class curriculum and should be planned separately for quiet activities. Secondly, the piloti space should be planned as an independent space rather than a connection between classroom and outdoor space, with appropriate surveillance from teacher's space for the lower graders. Thirdly, courtyard space, typical space in urban mini school surrounded by densely arranged buildings, should be thermally controlled for outdoor class or resting with appropriate screen from noise to keep quiet atmosphere.

This study is to clarify the actual conditions of small elementary school facilities in depopulation areas. The aim of this thesis is to present the directions for Reorganization of small school facilities. Research area was kumi and uiseong, the number of students decreased rapidly. And small elementary school facilities were surveyed. The results are as the follows; 1)After consider living zone, commuting distance, opinions of residents, it is advisable that the small size school(the number of students under 60) will be combined stronghold school. 2)In the case of relocation, first of all, should consider the characteristic of living zone, exchanging training programs between elementary schools. 3)The closed school facilities will be used consistently as public facilities with priority consideration of environmental characteristic and users' demand.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a model plan for a mini school using the lower part of the apartment. In order to reach this model, firstly, the existing condition of over populated schools is analyzed, secondly, the Proper size and planning module for a mini school are suggested through the analysis of 7th national curriculum for the education, and thirdly, the model plan for a mini school is suggested using the apartment under construction. Mini school will be expected to solve the problems from over populated schools, and enhance the educational effect for the primary students.
