Due to changes in the social structure, such as serious low birth rate, the school-age population is decreasing at a very rapid pace with the aging population. The school-age population is expected to decrease by 1.17 million and 26% to 3.32 million in 2030 compared to 4.49 million in 2020. In response, the government has set up a "Plan to improve the Utilization and Management of School Facilities"(Ministry of Education, 2018.2.1), which will first utilize empty classrooms in schools for their own functions, such as the necessary for the school curriculum and the establishment of kindergartens in schools, and then respond to local demand and user demands such as public daycare centers. In response, the study examines ways to utilize some of the unused classrooms in elementary schools, where the number of students has decreased, by converting them to public daycare centers. And the purpose of this study is to propose the results as basic data on the possibility of converting to daycare service facilities, which are significantly lacking by metropolitan and provincial education offices or local governments.
