- The purpose of the study was to clarify the residential mobility factors of Jeju out-migrants in 2023—a year that recorded net population loss. The dependent variable is the number of out-migrants who moved from Jeju-si and Seogwipo-si to other administrative districts. The independent variables composed county-level demographic, housing industrial, educational and neighbourhood characteristics. Five key patterns were derived by multiple-regression models. First, to regions whose mean household size is smaller than that of Jeju was moved more residential mobilities. Second, residential mobilities tended to concentrate in areas with a higher apartment share and a lower detached-house share than that of Jeju. Third, regions with a large number of employees and a high industrial diversity index acted as areas with labour-market opportunities and promoted residential mobilities. Fourth, in the educational domain, residential mobilities increased toward areas with a larger number of universities than that of Jeju. Fifth, residential mobilities also occurred toward areas with fewer cultural facilities and park infrastructure than Jeju, indicating that, once the level of living-convenience infrastructure exceeds a certain threshold, its association with migration weakens. In summary, mismatch of preferred housing type, limitation of labor-market size, and insufficiency of higher-education infrastructure were confirmed as the main drivers of residential mobilities from Jeju. - COLLAPSE

- In Pohang, 9.2% of renters and 5.3% of homeowners spend over 30% of their income on housing and maintenance, a threshold commonly used to measure housing affordability burden. Although these rates are lower than those in Seoul and other major cities, housing affordability and quality remain pressing concerns. Residential mobility has led to quality improvements for many: 58.9% of residents reported their housing had “greatly improved” or “improved,” while 33.6% saw no change and 14.4% experienced deterioration. Overall housing satisfaction is high, with 83.3% of residents expressing they are “very satisfied” or “satisfied.” Key factors behind this satisfaction include upgraded housing facilities (25.1%), newer or well-maintained units (18.9%), and larger floor areas (11.9%). To further enhance housing affordability and quality, the local government must stimulate the housing market by expanding housing choices—especially mid-income and public rental options—through urban development and regeneration projects. Critical policy tools include supplying affordable land, streamlining permitting, offering low-interest construction loans, and providing favorable consumer financing and tax incentives. Additionally, scaling up housing vouchers and public rental supply should be prioritized to support low-income households and foster inclusive housing stability. - COLLAPSE

- This study explores user cognition of adaptive lighting through semi-structured interviews. The aim is to examine how adaptive lighting influences daily life and to provide insight into user-centered lighting design. A total of 21 Chinese international students at Kyung Hee University participated in the interviews. The collected data were transcribed and analyzed using NVivo software. The findings reveal clear differences between participants with and without a background in residential environment design. Non-majors tended to describe lighting experiences using emotional and sensory expressions, such as “too bright” or “uncomfortable.” In contrast, majors offered more structured assessments, focusing on spatial layout, color temperature, and lighting logic.They also raised specific considerations related to adaptive lighting, such as the timing of lighting transitions and the use of multi-level or gradual lighting adjustments to ensure visual comfort and spatial coherence. Additionally, non-majors were more sensitive to abrupt lighting changes, while majors emphasized the importance of contextual consistency and system functionality. These results highlight the importance of aligning adaptive lighting systems with users’ cognitive expectations and suggest that academic background significantly shapes lighting perception and preference. - COLLAPSE

- The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of group home care facilities and green care farm (GCF) facilities on the behavior and quality of life of older adults with dementia. A total of nine participants―five from a group home in Seoul, Korea, and four from a GCF in Laarbeek, the Netherlands, were observed three times over one year using the Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) tool. Physical environmental characteristics of the participating care homes were assessed using the Therapeutic Environment Screening Survey for Nursing Homes (TESS-NH) tool. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests. The results were as follows: 1) the GCF’s residents interacted more with both neighbors and staff members and spent more time engaging in physical activities, while the group home’s residents primarily participated in structured physical exercise programs. 2) Although indoor activity programs were relatively well developed in the group home, which lacked outdoor space, the residents in the GCF, with its homelike setting and spacious outdoor areas, exhibited less withdrawn behavior. This study suggests that a physical environment with a homelike atmosphere, appropriate stimuli, and outdoor areas is directly or indirectly associated with the behavior and quality of life of older adults with dementia. - COLLAPSE

- The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is a difference in housing satisfaction according to the type of public rental housing. As a result of one-way ANOVA, there was a statistically significant difference in housing satisfaction by type. In particular, happy housing showed relatively higher satisfaction than other types, and permanent public housing, national public housing, and purchase rental housing showed significant differences between each other. It can be seen that the type of public rental has a certain level of influence on the housing experience of the elderly. However, according to the results of multiple regression analysis, it is difficult to sufficiently explain the housing satisfaction with only the type of public rental itself, and rather, living environment factors such as the condition of the house, the relationship with the neighbors, and access to neighborhood facilities have a greater influence on the housing satisfaction. Among them, the relationship with neighbors, accessibility factors, and physical condition of the house were analyzed as the factors that have the greatest influence on the housing satisfaction of the elderly. This shows that the elderly’s housing satisfaction is more affected by practical housing experience factors such as the quality of living environment, social relations, and accessibility than simple types of public rental housing. - COLLAPSE

- This study aims to verify the impact of satisfaction with other support programs, among housing support programs, on housing conditions and satisfaction with the living environment among the elderly. Recently, with the importance of housing and the increasing number of people living in studio apartments in Korea, we would like to test whether the relationship between variables changes depending on housing structure (one room type or not) through adjustment effect analysis. To verify this, structural equation analysis and moderating effect analysis were conducted on seniors aged 65 years or older from the “2022 Housing Survey” data. The structural equation results showed that satisfaction with other support programs had an effect on satisfaction with the housing environment, and satisfaction with housing conditions mediated the influence. In the moderating effect analysis, the effect of satisfaction with other support programs on satisfaction with the housing environment and the effect of satisfaction with other support programs on satisfaction with housing conditions were both moderated by the housing structure (studio type or not), and the elderly living in studio type had a positive effect. It has been shown to strengthen influence. These results not only confirm the importance of other support programs for the elderly, but also verify the effectiveness of the program for elderly people living in studio apartments, so a policy is required for this. - COLLAPSE

- The purpose of this study is to examine the current status of Housing repair projects in deteriorated low-rise residential areas of Suwon City and to derive tailored strategies for each residential type through cluster analysis. Using k-means clustering based on the physical characteristics of the target areas, four distinct residential types were identified. To develop appropriate strategies for each cluster, a Focus Group Interview (FGI) with experts was conducted. The findings are as follows: For Cluster 1, characterized by high-density deteriorated housing and a concentration of elderly residents, a shift from individually-driven applications to community-based and adjacent-block integrated improvement projects is proposed. Cluster 2, comprising high-density alley-type neighborhoods with limited vehicle access, requires a package-type comprehensive support model that combines alley maintenance with housing performance improvements. Cluster 3, defined as mixed low-density deteriorated areas with relatively lower levels of deterioration and fewer elderly residents, is suited for a self-repair model encouraging voluntary participation and resident capacity. Cluster 4, consisting of planned residential areas with stable physical conditions and residential safety, calls for an indirect support strategy focusing on long-term maintenance and management. This study highlights the importance of differentiated intervention strategies based on the physical and social characteristics of each cluster, offering an alternative to uniform policy applications in the home improvement efforts for aging low-rise neighborhoods in Suwon. - COLLAPSE
