Summary As the importance of value on spacial environment design is being emphasized recently, many local governments are promoting various projects related with architecture and urban space to create their brand and to vitalize their region. In accordance with this trend, the central government has been running design pilot projects with competition for local governments. However because there are no comprehensive plan nor a design management system many of the projects are just one-off thing that are easy to allocate the budget or can show the project performance in a short time. This led to create similar kinds of projects through out the country which are an imitation of the existing cases. For the ultimate success at Local Area Support Project we should strengthen local capacity, encourage local governments to be self sufficient and seek supportive ways to be autonomous to foster efficiency of the project. This study aims to explore policies that runs the project efficiently by reflecting regional characteristics and strengthening local capacity and maximizes project effects by making differences between each projects and sharing and linking the roles among them.
