abstract
Background Vernacular design reflects local life and environment, but Korean research often overlooks its process. Dongnae and Suan markets provide a unified context to explore both design practice and outcome. This study focuses on a practice-centered urban view. Methods Using Amos Rapoport, A.’s (2024) theory on design process and product, this study combines theoretical review with fieldwork―observations and interviews―to examine spatial and material practices and user involvement in both markets. Result Analysis of fixed, semi-fixed, and mobile stalls in Dongnae and Suaninjeong markets revealed core vernacular design values―place-based identity, self-generation, practicality, and user-led creativity. Fixed stalls featured detailed spatial adjustments; semi-fixed ones flexibly expanded outdoor space; mobile stalls used recycled materials and spontaneous solutions. Merchants actively reconfigured their spaces using experience, skills, and local awareness, shaping distinct identities. Conclusion This study views vernacular design as a process of interaction between people and materials. Merchants embody core values through creative spatial practices. The research calls for process-focused studies and expansion to other urban spaces.
