ABSTRACT

This study aims to systematically analyze domestic research trends and propose future directions by conducting a scoping review of academic literature on the asset-based approach in South Korea. based on Scoping Review five-stage protocol, 58 articles were ultimately selected for analysis following a comprehensive search of major domestic academic databases. The findings are as follows: First, in terms of research fields, Urban Regeneration accounted for the largest proportion (37.9%), followed by Social Welfare, Regional Development, Social Economy, Community Revitalization, and Local Economy. In light of the core principles of the asset-based approach—leveraging the strengths of community members and relational assets—this concentration on Urban Regeneration indicates a research tendency heavily skewed toward physical and economic assets. Second, regarding research methodologies, case studies constituted the majority (56.9%). Third, "Local Asset" (39.7%) was the most frequently utilized keyword, predominantly appearing in the Urban Regeneration sector. Furthermore, while the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) model was the most frequently cited framework, domestic studies that integrate it with alternative theoretical perspectives or critically reconstruct it remain insufficient. This study suggests that future policy formulation for housing, urban regeneration projects, and community revitalization strategies must shift away from a paradigm focused on external resource supply. Instead, it advocates for a transition toward an integrated asset-building practice model that incorporates reciprocal networks and social capital among residents.
