    The KNHC housing complexes are one of the historically significant urban fabrics comprising Seoul’s old residential areas. The study focuses on the five KNHC housing complexes where district-unit plan is designated for the entire complex area and analyzes the relationship between their current remaining status and the designated matters of the urban management plans. Even though the five complexes share the similar urban morphology, each district-unit plan exhibits divergent approaches toward conserving the existing urban context and achieving the development potentials. The study analyzes this diverse situation and proposes three positions creating a spectrum between the dichotomy of preservation and demolition, which are ‘overall maintaining of existing urban context’, ‘specific maintaining of existing urban context’, and ‘transformation of existing urban context’. By outlining limitations and points for improvement found on the sites, this study aims to delineate issues for the future urban management plan in Seoul to find a way to maintain the urban context of long-standing residential areas by considering both their lasting urban fabrics and continuous new constructions. - COLLAPSE

    This study aims to evaluate the current state of indoor environmental adjustments in Senior Welfare Housing (SWH), understand residents’ satisfaction of various indoor environmental quality, and suggest strategies for improvement. The methodology included detailed field investigations and structured face-to-face questionnaires, targeting 50 units and their occupants from the government-sponsored SWH initiative. The survey revealed an overall satisfaction score of 4.14 out of 5, indicating that the indoor environment is generally well-maintained. Satisfaction with the lighting environment was highest at 4.48 points, while satisfaction with the air environment was lowest at 3.69 points, highlighting areas needing improvement. Issues such as “odor” in the air environment and “noise from other households” in the acoustic environment were noted. The odor issue was due to pollutants from common areas and external sources, exacerbated by residents opening doors for ventilation. To address this, managing external pollutants and introducing sound-insulating materials between households are recommended. This study provides an empirical investigation into the individual units and residents of the SWH, offering a foundation for identifying improvement measures and informing the planning of future SWH developments. - COLLAPSE

    This study aims to categorize housing poverty among single-person households in Korea, identify influencing factors by type, and evaluate the impact of each type on life satisfaction. Using data from the 17th Korean Welfare Panel, latent class analysis and multinomial logistic analysis were conducted on 2,970 single-person households. As a result of latent class analysis, housing poverty among single-person households in Korea was divided into three types: households meeting minimum housing standards (83.0%), households failing to meet essential facility standards (2.0%), and households failing to meet structural performance standards (15.0%). As a result of multinomial logistic regression analysis, the main factors of households meeting minimum housing standards included gender, full-time employment, education level, and monthly rent. The influencing factors of households failing to meet essential facility standards and structural performance standards included control factors such as gender and education level, as well as occupancy type and housing type. The results of a comprehensive analysis of factors affecting life satisfaction showed that both types that did not meet the criteria were less satisfied with their living environment, family income, and family relationships than those that met the minimum housing standards. Based on the research results, practical policies were proposed to improve the life satisfaction of single-person households facing housing poverty. - COLLAPSE

    This study conducted a case study on community space types and programs targeting six multi-family houses built within 10 years, mainly in the Kanto region of Japan. The implications of the survey results are as follows. First, a space plan that can create various contact points for exchange is needed, taking into account the advantages of housing types. The local exchange space, which is a core space for generational exchange, provides opportunities for daily exchange through planning such as sharing space through multi-purpose use, expanding space in connection with external space, arranging space to encourage intersection of movement lines, and arranging open space at the entrance or lower level. It can be increased. Second, programs are provided by experts for continuous multi-generational exchange, and activities are supported taking into account the usage status of local residents. In addition, it can be an opportunity to increase the possibility of customized exchanges with consumers and effective generational exchanges by trying experimental and diverse programs. Third, living convenience facilities in multi-generational exchange-type housing enable people to continue living safely and independently, and can serve as a base for exchange within the region by providing the services of the facility to local residents. - COLLAPSE

    The purpose of this study is to understand which factors are attractive to people who want to use Jeonju’s ‘Hakindang’ Hanok as accommodation facilities, and whether the factors are related to tradition, favorability toward Hanok, and the intention of accommodation of users. Therefore, in terms of accommodation marketing in the future, we intend to identify exterior that can contribute to the activation of Hanok. Data of empirical studies were collected through eye tracking experiments and survey methods for 31 undergraduate students at J University. As a result of eye tracking analysis, the subjects paid attention to the outer wall, windows, roof, signboards, and natural scenery elements in the center of Hakindang. Most of these clues with high environmental interest were found to be statistically not related to subjective interest, including the intention to stay. Rather, it was found that the interest in the elements of the stylobate and yard was related to the subjective interest or the intention to stay in terms of marketing. In addition, it was possible to determine the intention of visual interest by grasping the cozyness of the Hanok layout structure and the reluctance to Hanok, which are the reasons for interest. - COLLAPSE

    This study is to explore the application of natural environmental factors in community space design, focusing on the visual interest of biophilic design elements. We investigate how to apply these elements in community space planning. Through eye-tracking experiments and questionnaires, we evaluate visual attention distribution and spatial perception, exploring the relationship between perception and pupil size change. Heat map analysis showed participants focused mainly on biophilic elements, especially plants, smooth curves, and natural light. Further analysis found that participants rated yoga areas significantly higher in community spaces designed for exercise, accompanied by a relative reduction in pupil size, compared with crowded or stimulating spaces such as fitness areas. This finding aligns with previous studies, indicating a positive correlation between negative spatial assessment and pupil dilation. Ultimately, spatial images with biophilic design elements received higher emotional ratings, creating a welcoming atmosphere. This study demonstrates that incorporating biophilic design into community spaces can relieve fatigue and stress, improve enjoyment, and promote mental health. Future community space design should emphasize biophilic elements to create more livable and healthy environments. - COLLAPSE

    Since the focus is on psychological healing in spaces where people live their daily lives due to problems such as stress, anxiety, and depression, and this is affected by spatial sensitivity, this study aims to explore the relationship between psychological stability and emotional change in space through the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) experiment. The research method selects spatial images centered on “form,” “color,” “contrast,” and “texture,” first evaluates them through the “Likert 5-point scale” of emotional vocabulary, compares the values before and after lighting, analyzes emotional changes and differences, and secondly, through the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) experiment, analyzes the “stress index” and the “body defense function scale (RMSD) index” to explore the relationship between “psychological stability” and “space sensitivity.” At this time, the spatial image is two pairs before and after lighting, and the subjects are 20 college students majoring in spatial design. Looking at the relationship between psychological stability and spatial sensitivity, it can be seen that the illuminated space is psychologically stable at this time, and the “heavy,” “dark,” and “calm” atmosphere created by “contrast” of “color” or “shape” caused by lighting induces “comfortable,” “warm,” and “soft” emotions that affect emotionally. - COLLAPSE
