Yesan-gun was selected to receive a "Village Community Garden Project" in 2018 to foster a sense of community and improve the urban landscape by working with neighbors to create a happy living space for residents. Yesan-gun selected Sapti Park, located in Yesan-eup, as the project site. The project was carried out through the design charrette method (an intense period of collaborative creativity) to allow residents to propose and design park concepts themselves for the community garden construction project to ensure that that the park facilities would provide something for everyone to enjoy. This study followed the actual design project that actively introduced the design charrette in planning the community garden, describing the entire design process from planning to construction and revealing how the opinions of residents were projected onto the design drawings. The purpose of the project was to advance user-participation design methods by reviewing the progress of the design charrette process and to examine how storytelling, the act of conveying ideas through a fun and persuasive story, transformed the plans for the community garden.

Smart City is a future-oriented city that provides users with desired services through various devices anytime and anywhere using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In order to provide the smart city service desired by the user, the user-oriented design concept should be based on above all. The design and development process must be based on the opinions and needs of everyone involved and needs to ideally reflect all user information and feedback, including users, designers and stakeholders at all levels. Participatory design approaches can be seen as an attempt to better understand and engage real users, and they are essential and important to create more appropriate and user-friendly smart-city services. This study has recognized the importance of developing a smart city service from the viewpoint of user - centered design and examined the methodology of design thinking and service design process for smart city service development. User - centered design concept model for smart city service design was designed, and serviceability case developed based on concept model was verified.

Recently, user participatory workshops have been applied as a way to plan landscape spaces that reflects the needs and demands of the users. It is also required to improve the quality of the FECC (Forest Experience Center for Children), which is growing rapidly. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to deduct the design elements (forest play activities and space), the basic needs, and the demands of users in making the FECC a preschooler participatory workshop. For this, materials for preschooler participation were selected, and a step-by-step workshop was conducted to satisfy the demands of the preschooler's development. First, in the pre-workshops phase, design elements standards were deducted through the preschooler participatory results (41 children aged 6 and 7, Kindergarten). Second, in the main workshop phase, the design elements to be introduced on the site (Songsan-mulbit FECC) were deducted through the participating preschooler's selection and those results were analyzed. The materials used at the preschooler participatory process were 'drawing a picture' in the pre-workshop phase, and the design elements and the standard types charts were the forest play activity pictogram chart, and the forest play space general images chart in the main workshop. As for results, frst, there are 38 standard types of forest play activities that have been deducted. It consists of 27 cognitive activities (functional 16, constructive 4, symbolic 4, game on rule 3), 9 games (sensory 5, other 4), and two social play activities (solo, group). There are 21 standard types of forest play spaces. They consist of 8 play facility spaces (5 facility, 3 natural), 2 water spaces, and 11 spaces of 5 types. Second, as a result of applying the results to the site, the forest play activities to be introduced on the site were selected, and the functional play was most selected. Additionally, climbing and water play were most selected as the unit activities. Also, functional, constructive, symbolic, games based on rules were selected, even in the preschooler's development play. In the case of the forest play spaces to be introduced in the site, the preschooler's selection results by sex and age tended to be similar to the preschooler's comprehensive selection results, but the boys preferred function and adventure spaces more than the girls, while the girls preferred rest spaces more than the boys. This result is similar to the previous study results, which directly observed the preschooler's forest play behavior, and analysis that the preschooler recognized the site and selected the design elements introduced on the site. Therefore, the participatory workshop process and the materials process in this study are analyzed and applied to the purpose of the study. It is valuable as a case to be applied in design of the FECC from this point forward.

Giving birth to a new concept of spatial paratext which originated from literature criticism, this paper attempts to illuminate new value, meaning and properties of mobile mixed reality. While physical places can be regarded as 'langue' that refers to fixed structure and main text at the same time, user created participatory authoring in that place and his(her) spatio-temporal trace corresponds to 'parole', and their merging into mobile mixed reality storytelling can be viewed as 'paratexts'. We proposed a design and implementation methods for establishing spatial paratexts, also with aesthetic transformation experiments with them. In this way, we gave shape to the concrete concept and realization methods of mobile mixed reality as spatial paratext.

As games have been used throughout the advertisement design in diverse ways, the paradigm of the internet advertising has also been changed. At the same time, there has been a growing tendency among companies to maximize the purpose of advertising by using game-like internet banner advertising, which provides internet-users with the information of the advertisements by exposing specific information, brands, characters, or image. In spite of the quantitative expansion of the game-like internet banner ads, according to a survey with regard to their click-through rate(CTR), the result indicates the CTR is less than 0.5%. Therefore, this study aims to examine what types of displaying elements of the game-like banner ads gaining in popularity can leave the users with a strong impression, and also to explore what types of displaying elements need to be highlighted for the users' active and aggressive access to internet banner advertisements. Currently advertised game-like banner ads on the internet web sites in different fields are selected. Then, they are analyzed by using seven categories. The findings are expected to lay out systematic and practical guidelines for the future production of game-like banner ads.

Creativity is a important keyword for users as well as for main design organization who needs it. But little attention has been given to the aspect of user's creativity, also there has been a few attempt to apply it into design development until now. Nowadays in design areas, user's experiences and actions are changing the passive states receiving meanings into the active states creating meanings voluntarily. It is resonable to suppose that creative stage is important for users and they have the possibility of new ideas of uses and creating new productions. User's experiences of objects includes that of being formed or supported previously and that of voluntary interpretations acquired for himself, which it may be the possibilities predicted in design process or unknown user's action areas. It is likely that creative use process by themselves are the actions applied and deviated from usability and function by main design organization, also creative productions are arranged and made by users. These have a scope of examination and research in probability that is occurs frequently in user. In this research, approaching with a term, 'User gestures', User gestures are the characteristic action areas based on user's voluntary behaviors, where are revealed a unessential and non-operational function as a action itself and various transformation and creation of products as a outcome of action. This fact proves clearly that user gestures have a worth of alive spectrum to observe aspects of user culture and could be a attractive approach to seek easily new design concept for designer and developer. A further direction of this study will be following areas, Ethnography methods research of user gestures, Cultural research to phenomenon of user design and UGSBD(User gesture scenario based design) research. And it seems probable that they are applied in design development as follows, User initiative customization products, User participatory recycling products and creativity-experience design.

Recently, citizen participation and user - oriented design are becoming increasingly important in the urban space design process. The Children's Park has also begun to discuss the need to reflect children's opinions and needs as well as existing ways and means of participation to reflect these opinions and ideas. In this study, a design education program for children was constructed and user opinions accessed via this design education were reflected in design and applied to the Children's Park. The training program consists of five weeks of educational programs, textbooks and teaching methods related to existing research, design education for children and participatory design programs. This program was used as a pilot of Eogong-6ho Children 's Park(No. 6 Children's Park), located in Gwonseon-gu, Suwon, and reinterpreted the results of the workshop for 5th grade students at Sunil Elementary School. This design education program is distinguished from other workshop programs on how to organize and operate participating professors and textbooks, and has a program base that can reproduce the entire process. In addition, it is necessary to verify the effects of user participation through research, such as monitoring the use of children's parks after completion, as well as the application of more diverse design methodologies to children's parks and the way they reflect children's opinions.
