Abstract

Community revitalization programs in New York State are community centralized projects, and this approach is pretty much general in the united states. However, local communities do not have enough funds, human resources, technical knowledge and useful data. Even though State governments have their own supporting systems, they are not able to support all that communities need and ask. State governments are, on the other hand, trying to develop the most efficient supporting system for the community revitalization programs as a part of community development. US federal government supports funds as well. New York state government makes connections with other states, local governments, universities, and other useful groups, and reorganizes all possible resources for New York state communities. This supporting system helps that local leaders and community residents can tackle regionally specific issues and opportunities. This paper shows how New York state implements community revitalization programs with the community supporting system. This research also shows how to organize and manage the community involvements in the planning process through the case study of the Black River Vision Plan/ City of Watertown that an author had participated in.

뉴욕 주의 커뮤니티 재활성화는 커뮤니티 중심의 계획을 기반으로 이루어지고 있으며, 이는 미국 내의 커뮤니티 계획에 있어서 일반적인 접근방법이다. 연방정부는 재정지원에만 주력하고 가능한 간섭을 하지 않고 있으며, 주정부가 재활성화에 필요한 계획, 재정, 인력, 정보 등을 지원하는 체계적인 지원체계의 수립에 더욱 노력을 기울이고 있다. 주정부는 다른 주정부, 지방정부, 대학들과 연계하여 커뮤니티의 재활성화에 필요한 인적 물적 자원들을 주의 실정에 맞게 재구성하고, 자체 지원시스템을 만들어, 커뮤니티가 스스로 재활성화 계획을 실행 할 수 있도록 돕고 있다. 본 연구에서는 뉴욕 주에서의 커뮤니티 재활성화 계획 과정이 어떻게 이루어지고 있으며, 계획과정 상 커뮤니티 구성원들의 참여가 어떻게 이루어지고 있는지, 본 연구자가 직접 참여한 The Black River Vision Plan/ City of Watertown의 사례연구를 통해 자세히 알아보았다.
