摘要：This study attempts to verify the validity of the neighborhood unit theory in Korea and interpret its meaning. In Korea, Perry′s neighborhood unit theory has been applied to new cities and housing block plans as a design principle since its introduction. While the theory has been actively applied to New Town developments throughout the world, it has also faced criticisms. This paper begins with the question ′Does Perry′s theory still have viability in Korea?′ First of all, this research reviewed the major contents and corresponding examples of Perry′s theory. In attempts to answer this question, major contents of the controversies were summarized historically, along with reviews on the background of how Perry′s theory was introduced. This is followed by examinations of applications of the neighborhood unit theory in Korea. Additionally, solutions regarding criticism of the theory were diagnosed. It was also pointed out that although there was a time that Perry′s theory was applied uniformly during socioeconomic changes in Korea, there were efforts to overcome the limitations of this theory. As a result, it was found that the neighborhood unit theory still viably suggests basic design principles for various types of planning from residential planning to life zone planning.
