| Today, social structural change and rapid economic growth have expanded the polarization between rich and poor and have not greatly improved the quality of life of children due to the adverse effect that increase their poverty rate. In addition, the environment of community child centers operated for child welfare has been managed focused only on studying. Thus, the reality is that the environmental quality has been harsh compared with the quantitative growth. In particular, it requires to the fundamental solution to the problems such as various environments inappropriate for children`s physical and emotional needs and lack of necessary space. Thus, this study considered the factors of children developmental and environmental psychology after understanding the functions and spatial configuration according to programs of community children centers, and then analyzed the environmental psychology needs required for each functional space. As for the results, realistic applicability and problems were reviewed by actual case analysis in community child centers. According to the results achieved by the previous studies and case analysis, the physical environment had an interdependent effect on children`s behaviors and development, worked as negative psychological factors such as attack, threat, fear, performance degradation and stress increase when the environmental psychological needs were not met, and the children could grow up with emotional, cognitive and psychological comfort and stability when the environmental psychological needs were met. Despite that each support space in community children centers needs various environmental psychology needs, due to the realistic spatial constraints, the problem one space is used as various support space was been exposed by the case study. In such a case, it will be necessary to pursue spatial diversity by introducing positively variability with the use of the movable partition or furniture rather than limit the space by setting up walls. We expect that this study can be basic background that quality improvement in community child centers is obtained by analysis of environmental psychology. |
