Engaging artist groups and introducing cultural programs can facilitate building a collaborative network between artists and residents. This paper adopts an experimental study method and defines the experimental and control groups as follows: the experimental group (Changwon city) has relatively high artist participation, and the control group (Sacheon, Gimhae, Miryang cities) have relatively low artist involvement. Multiple regression analysis was conducted utilizing 192 valid survey data in R studio software. The significant variables were compared between the experimental group (Model 1) and the control group (Model 2). As a result, the relative effects of “1. experience (or amount) of residents’ participation Citation: Baek, Y.; Jung, C.; Joo, H. in urban renewal programs”, “2. reflection of residents’ opinions”, and “3. neighborly trust” on Residents’ Perception of a “residents’ satisfaction with urban regeneration projects and expected outcomes” was shown to be Collaborative Approach with Artists greater in the experimental group.
