The objective of the study is to establish principles of space planning required to create community gardens for improving self-support capability of vulnerable groups. The characteristics of community garden users and the purposes of community gardens were considered when setting these principles. The target users are vulnerable groups. In considering the circumstance of the homeless who have difficulties in overcoming physical, mental, social and financial risks, 13 universal design principles were applied: Equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, size and space for approach and use, self-supporting, aesthetics, economic feasibility, environment friendly, healthiness, and sustainability. As the space planning principles based on the community garden purposes are set to achieve mental, social and financial self-support, healing garden and urban agriculture were combined in the principles. Maximally efficient division of space where various programs are available, privacy-protected space, rest areas for strengthening resilience and health, pleasant and beautiful spaces with plants, easily accessible and safe space, and easy maintenance and sustainability are required factors for community gardens. As the ultimate goal, financial self-support, a space where they can develop acquired skills and then proceed with productive activities was included in the space planning principles. Additionally, ecological aspects such as cycle of materials, efficient energy use and expanded biodiversity were combined and supported by local communities to secure sustainability of the use of space.

This research study aims to examine who vulnerable people are on disaster & emergency situations in South Korea. There are various vulnerable people such as children, senior citizen, the disabled and foreigners. I choose foreigners who live in South Korea as vulnerable group among them because there would be no system and study for helping foreigners on the situations, comparing to other vulnerable groups. Foreigners' residents often could have accidents from disaster and emergency situations because they live in South Korea for long time and various places such as factory, farmland, fishery and so on. To solve these problems, we should be willing to cope with emergencies for foreigners’ residents. First of all, it is necessary that a variety of educations and promotions should be a prerequisite to foreign residents' easy access to safety. As well, revitalizing a variety of communities, we need to figure out a way to cope with emergent disasters. This study will present some preparations to solve the problems, as exhibited in the following. First, multilingual emergency disaster & emergency services applications. Second, foreign residents provide disaster & emergency related promotional media. Third, education and social institutions established disaster & emergency. Forth, selection foreign volunteer firefighters. The research being sought by this study is a set of findings that contribute to the development of practical and realistic policy recommendations which may be used for disaster & emergency management practitioners, as well as policy and decision makers at all level.
