To functionally classify the types of gardens that can be used in a city, this study examined the perceived functions of gardens in Korea by reviewing the previous case studies, field surveys concerning gardens in cities, and interviews with stakeholders. First, the roles and effects of gardens identified in the earlier studies were clustered into similar concepts. To ensure validity, the types of functions of the gardens were named based on opinions gathered through meetings with experts. Field surveys were conducted on 31 cases studied over four years. The data obtained were applied to supplement the redefined classification criteria and items for gardens in the city as described above. The current status of the gardens was analyzed by type. The gardens were divided into four categories: socio-cultural, environmental, economic, and health-related. The sociocultural type was dominant among the community gardens in Korea. The results of this study may be used as a reference for the intended function of building an urban garden and to prepare guidelines for introducing socio-cultural, environmental, economic, and health-type gardens in the future.
