    With the implementation of the central government’s Integrated Public Rental Housing (IPRH) policy, the rent system for public rental housing has shifted from a cost-based system to an income-based one that considers both rental market prices and household income. However, when IPRH is provided in areas with high rental prices, the rent burden for residents increases compared to existing Public Rental Housing types. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the rent system for IPRH so that the specificity of Seoul with high rental prices can be taken into account, and this study aimed to develop a rent adjustment factor to realize the reduction of rent levels. First, we set the upper limit of the rent-to-income ratio for moving-in households at 25% as the basic direction for calculating the adjustment factor. The adjustment factor could be calculated by estate and household income. Considering these two aspects, we suggested four alternatives for calculating the adjustment factor. Each alternative has its advantages and disadvantages from three perspectives: the size of the landlord’s rent income, the equity of the rent burden among tenants and the possibility of mixed-income housing. In the actual project stage, it will be necessary to select an appropriate alternative that meets the policy direction. - COLLAPSE

    The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial conditions of temporary housing facilities and propose operational strategies to strengthen the community’s disaster resilience. The facilities examined were three resident cultural and welfare centers in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, designated as temporary housing facilities. The research methodology combined online surveys and field investigations. The field investigations focused on assessing the management status of safety facilities and the operational conditions of the spaces. Based on the survey findings, the potential for space utilization at each disaster stage, according to the spatial configuration of each facility, was classified through expert Focus Group Interviews (FGI). The results indicated that although all three locations were equipped with disaster prevention resources, such as disaster and safety education, experience, and communication facilities, these were not being utilized effectively. Additionally, despite being designated as temporary housing facilities, there was insufficient provision of sleeping, hygiene, and cooking facilities necessary to support residential life during a disaster. Furthermore, it was found that there was no plan in place to determine how to accommodate and utilize space facilities according to the number of people that could be sheltered. - COLLAPSE

    This study investigates the residential environment and emotional changes in households with excessive accumulation following the implementation of an organizational and storage service. Fifty households in Seoul participated voluntarily. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and field observations before and after the service. The results revealed that households with excessive accumulation often had cluttered, unhygienic spaces causing significant psychological stress. The organizational service improved cleanliness and functionality, leading to enhanced psychological stability and reduced stress and anxiety. Although initial satisfaction with the service was high, it declined over time, indicating the need for ongoing support and education to maintain benefits. Additionally, a well-organized space increased efficiency in daily tasks and overall quality of life. In conclusion, organizational and storage services positively impact the residential environments and emotional well-being of households with excessive accumulation. These services should be expanded and integrated into housing welfare policies for sustained support. Further research should focus on the long-term effects and consider various influencing factors to generalize the findings more broadly. - COLLAPSE

    The purpose of this study is to provide data for the high-rise design of modular construction and to examine the possibility of the spread of modular construction apartments by conducting a post-residential evaluation of G Town. Post-occupancy evaluation was conducted on G Town, which is used as a dormitory located in Gwangyang. The survey was conducted through an online survey and analyzed through SPSS. The results of the study are as follows. First, noise and vibration, which were pointed out as disadvantages of modular structure, did not differ in terms of residents’ satisfaction compared to reinforced concrete. The performance aspect of the modular construction showed the satisfaction level of residents of the same performance as the reinforced concrete structure as a design supplement. Second, there was no statistically significant difference in satisfaction with the performance of the residents of the lower, middle, and middle class of the modular structure. Third, the analysis results of IPA also showed the same results as the satisfaction comparison survey. Vibration and noise felt by residents were measured with high importance and high satisfaction. In other words, residents recognized that vibration and noise were advantages of the modular construction method under the premise that the conditions for design and construction of the survey building were the same. - COLLAPSE

    This study analyzed winter heating energy usage among 25 households in an apartment complex, all with the same family composition. By collecting energy consumption data and surveying residents’ heating behaviors, energy-saving intentions, and habits, it aimed to analyze how behavioral characteristics and cognitive factors influence differences in household energy consumption. The findings revealed that residents’ heating behaviors, energy-saving intentions, and habits significantly influenced their heating energy consumption. Households that actively controlled heating, had strong energy-saving intentions, and well-established saving habits tended to consume less heating energy. These results emphasize the importance of behavioral changes to enhance energy efficiency in the residential sector, highlighting the need for strategies to help residents consistently practice energy-saving behaviors. The study also emphasizes the importance of education and behavioral inducement policies in fostering positive intentions and habits crucial to reducing energy consumption. However, the study’s limitation to a period from November 2019 to February 2021 and the small sample size may restrict the generalizability of its findings to current or future conditions. Thus, future research should extend the period and include a larger number of households to increase the representativeness and reliability of the data. - COLLAPSE

    This paper aims to explore the overall process of fine-tuning an image gen AI model with the objective of generating safe spaces based on user information. Users with physical discomforts require spaces that reflect their physical characteristics to ensure safety. In particular, elderly individuals often experience accidents in their living environments as a result of aging, making it essential to propose appropriate solutions. Consequently, this study proposes a method for generating alternative spatial images based on users’ physical characteristics, and the research proceeds as follows: 1. Investigation of required safety features based on the physical characteristics of aging, grounded in prior research. 2. Development of a spatial mapping system for safety-related objects, along with the creation of BIM models and spatial visualization image data. 3. Derivation of a fine-tuned generative AI model. The fine-tuned model can then generate images that provide alternative solutions, including necessary safety features for elderly users. Through this study, both users and designers can gather spatial information that incorporates their physical traits, and the resulting spatial images and mapping systems can serve as valuable data for future research. - COLLAPSE

    This research was conducted to analyze the vacancy status of public-construction rental housing supplied by LH and to suggest improvement directions. The research methods included analysis of LH vacancy status data, on-site research and interviews with managers. As a result of the study, first, as of 2022, the national vacancy rate was 6.5%, and the vacancy rate of Hangbok Housing was the highest in all regions, and the vacancy rate in the provincial area was found to be the highest at 23.8%. Second, in the case of the industrial complex type, the vacancy rate is high at present, but the vacancy problem is expected to be resolved once the construction of the industrial complex is completed. However, in the land development type and new city type, the overlapping supply of LH rental complexes within the same living area and small-sized unit are considered to be the main causes of vacancy. Third, the main cause of vacancy is unit of 19 m2 or less for single-person households, and it is necessary to supply single-person households with an unit size of 30 m2. Fourth, housing for the underprivileged is vacant in the long term due to its small size, so it is necessary to increase the unit size and improve the supply method. - COLLAPSE

    This study aims to analyze the relationship between vulnerable group types and residential environment satisfaction using the 2023 Korean Welfare Panel Study data. Specifically, the study investigates the direct and indirect effects of vulnerable group types on residential satisfaction, with residential factors as mediators. The analysis revealed that all types of vulnerable groups, including low-income households, single-parent families, and disabled households, showed significantly lower residential satisfaction compared to non-vulnerable groups. Furthermore, residential factors such as housing type, moving experience, and tenure status significantly influenced residential satisfaction, partially mediating the negative impact of vulnerable group types. The findings suggest that economic and social constraints faced by vulnerable groups are key factors lowering their residential satisfaction. The study highlights the need for policies to alleviate housing cost burdens and improve residential conditions for vulnerable populations. Policy implications include enhancing financial support for housing costs and improving the quality of housing infrastructure. Additionally, it recommends increasing access to housing welfare programs to address the housing needs of vulnerable groups. Although the study is limited by its cross-sectional design, it provides a basis for future longitudinal research and policy development to enhance the living conditions of vulnerable groups. - COLLAPSE
