Recently, the number of closed rural schools is increasing due to the decrease in school age population. This study aims to comparative analysis of utilization policies for closed schools in Korea and Japan. The results are as follows. First, Both Korea and Japan was expected to increase the number of closed schools since the standard of abolition of small schools has been strengthened. Second, In Korea, it was possible to know the detailed information of closed schools through 'Eduinfo' website, but it was hard to know the detailed information of utilization cases of closed schools. On the other hand, Japan not only provided information about the unused school facilities but also introduced the utilization cases of closed schools and financial support system for utilization of closed school. It was characterized by linking with the information of unused schools and company, NPO, elderly welfare facility, etc. Third, In korea Superintendent established plans to use closed schools to respond flexibly to local circumstances.

In terms of the overall trend, the number of closed schools have been put into use and the numbers have increased from 70% in 2013 to 74% in 2020. To summarize the characteristics of the use, first, there is a complex phenomenon in which the use of closed schools are becoming more diverse. Second, closed schools are most often revitalized as educational facilities for residents, followed by social sports facilities, social education facilities and cultural facilities. Third, the use of closed schools in the industries are increasing as they are used as "corporal facilities and start-up support facilities". In order to promote the use of closed schools, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan promoted the simplification and elasticity of property disposal procedures in 2008. Since 2010, the disclosure of information on closed facilities and matching service between providers and users have been unified through the "Let's Connect to the Future ~ Closed School for All" project. The Cabinet Office including the four offices, and five central governments are advocating the use of closed schools by promoting subsidy support projects.

The purpose of this study is to provide a fundamental data and establish policies for the utilization of closed schools in Korea. The closed schools have been increased in Korea because not only the birth rate, and the number of students have been decreased, but also a greate number of people have moved to big cities or the elderly population is increasing. In this context, this research explores the current circumstance of Japan where experienced the similar phenomenon before Korea had. The results of this study are summarized as follows: The reason for the closed schools in Japan is a decrease in population due to the urbanization and reducing students themselves by aging. The recycling proportion of the closed schools is only approximately 62% in Japan. It means that fewer facilities have been recycled due to the transfer of the managemental departments and the lack of budgets for purchasing the closed schools. As the number of children decreases, but elderly people increases as the same time, it is necessary to positively examine the transition of the closed schools to new facilities for the elderly people. Even though the number of children had been declined, and it is recently turning back to an increasing of the residential children in 23 districts of Tokyo, there are still existing many closed schools. This phenomenon is caused by the decrease of the children and residential areas due to the aging and urbanization. For these reasons, there are many diverse demands for the practical and valuable recycling of the closed schools. However, it seems that there are few cases of successful disposal or transfer of management to other suitable ministry. Therefore, it is necessary for the closed schools to be remodeled the facilities required by current residents.

Recently (2019), more than 3,800 schools have been closed in Korea due to the decrease in the number of students. Among them, 1,000 closed schools were used, 400 unused closed schools were sold, and the remaining 2,400 were sold. However, considering the absolute lack of elderly facilities due to the aging population, it seems necessary to recycle these public assets into elderly facilities. The purpose of this study is to explore the cases of remodeling closed schools in Japan and recycling them as elderly facilities, and to find ways to resolve the very serious shortage of elderly facilities while seeking measures to closed schools in Korea. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1) In the case of Shinagawa in Tokyo, it was easy to change its use because the building was owned by the old district. 2) The existing classroom space was used as it was to create an elderly living space consisting of two or three rooms and one bathroom unit. 3) In case 2, even if the earthquake-resistant structure was reinforced, the overall construction cost was reduced by 30% compared to the new construction.

본 연구는 폐교의 성공적인 도서관 활용을 위해 핵심적인 역할을 수행할 것으로 기대되는 지역주민을 대상으로, 폐교 운영 및 관리 현황, 향후 폐교 활용 방향, 그리고 도서관의 폐교 활용 등에 대한 요구 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 실제 폐교 발생지역의 주민들은 향후 폐교 활용을 긍정적으로 생각하고 있으며, 도서관을 새로 신축하는 것보다 폐교를 리모델링하는 것이 비용 측면에서 경제적이라는 긍정적인 응답을 하였다는 점에서 지역 내 도서관 수가 부족할 때 또는 지역주민들이 폐교를 도서관으로 리모델링하는 것을 희망할 때 폐교의 도서관으로서의 활용을 적극적으로 고려할 수 있을 것이다. 현재 폐교 활용 및 운영에 대한 인식은 보통 수준에 머물러 있어, 폐교 운영 및 관리의 장애요인을 그룹핑하여 홍보적 운영적 물리적 측면 순으로 폐교 운영과 재활용 활성화 방향을 개선할 필요가 있다고 판단된다. 또한 폐교 시설의 활용 유형에 있어서도 문화시설에 대한 현황과 지역주민의 요구가 맞아들고 있고, 폐교가 해당 지역을 기준으로 비교적 접근이 용이한 곳에 위치해 있다는 점에서 이를 중심으로 생활 밀착형 친화경 공간으로서 충분히 사용 될 수 있는 것을 의미함과 동시에 도서관 또한 지역주민들의 기초적인 문화시설 공간으로서 기존의 공공도서관과는 다른 복합문화공간, 전시관을 활용한 도서관, 친환경 도서관 등을 추구함으로써 해당 지역의 요구를 충족 보완할 수 있는 공간으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The reasons for studying the case of Japan are as follows. First, the increases in the aged population is similar to the case of Korea, and consumers are aging as the population ages. Second, the structure of industry in Japan is very similar to Korea, which describes the fact that the share of the manufacturing industry decreases but the service industry (e.g., medicine, finance, and insurance) increases. Third, Japan is considered as the best predictive model for forecasting the future of closed schools in Korea because the GNI gross income per capita is relatively close to the one of Korea among the several neighboring countries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current extent of utilizing closed schools in Japan and, based on the analysis, to provide basic data on the use of closed schools in Korea in the future. The types of closed schools can be classified into education facilities, social welfare facilities, cultural facilities, public sports facilities, income growing facilities, and others. Based on the classification, the analyses of the characteristics of each type for the facilities are presented. and When the utilization status of closed schools in Japan is analyzed, 363 schools were utilized (51.4%) in 2003, means the lowest utilization rate of the target year, after that 4198 schools (70.6%) were utilized in 2015.
