ABSTRACT

Old-age public libraries constructed in the 1970s and 1980s are exposed to safety problems and user complaints due to facility aging. For this reasons, demands and in-depth discussions for the remodeling of old public libraries are on the rise. The Korean Committee on Library and Information Policy has set this issue as a major initiative, and local governments are also interested in establishing an action plan. The purpose of this study is to analyze the feasibility for remodeling of 8 obsolete public libraries in Busan metropolitan city. In details, this study analyzes the libraries that need to be remodeled with the reasonable grounds, and suggests in what order and manner the remodeling should proceed. The data were collected from literature review, on site field survey, and questionnaire survey targeting librarians and library users. The final conclusions were verified through working-level meetings and experts’ advise.
