    The purpose of this study is to analyze the conditional approvals of landscape deliberations related to apartment complexes in Hwaseong City from 2020 to 2022, identify the characteristics of landscape elements, and propose directions for landscape management. The study concludes that interest in the landscape of apartment complexes is increasing, various landscape elements are being comprehensively considered, and attention to the management aspects of apartment landscapes is expanding. Additionally, the importance of external spaces and landscaping is particularly high, and differentiated landscape deliberations are necessary depending on the scale and type of apartment complexes. In particular, for the effective management of high-quality landscapes, a systematic and continuous management approach should be implemented, taking into account the characteristics of apartment complexes and residents’ preferences. Moreover, raising residents’ awareness of landscape management is essential. By recognizing the value of landscapes and actively participating in their maintenance, residents can contribute to the preservation of high-quality landscapes. - COLLAPSE

    As the supply of share houses expands as an alternative housing option for young people, it is necessary to identify individual differences in preferences for the spatial composition and sharing arrangements of share houses. Accordingly, this study aimed to understand preferences for sharing arrangements in share house spaces among university students, representing the youth in areas where the supply of share houses is insufficient. A total of 141 valid responses were collected through an online survey targeting university students residing in Jeonbuk Province. The analysis revealed that most respondents preferred private use of bedrooms. For shower rooms and toilets, preferences were evenly divided between private use and shared use with residents on the same floor. Among community spaces, high-usage convenience spaces such as shared kitchens and dining areas, as well as quiet spaces like meeting rooms and study zones, were preferred to be used separately by each floor. The results of this study can serve as foundational data for developing supply plans for youth share houses suitable for specific regions. - COLLAPSE

    A characteristic of Korea’s aging population is the rapid increase in the proportion of the elderly population. As of 2023, the elderly are 18.6% of the population, and the National Statistical Office predicts that it will be 40% by 2050. The United Nations defines more than 20% as a super-aged society, but it is difficult to explain the level of aging in Korea. Therefore, this study attempts to subdivide the super-aged society according to the characteristics of Korea. Based on the census data of the Statistics Korea, changes in the elderly population and trends over the next 30 years were identified. As a result of the study, the trend of increasing the elderly population has intensified since 2020 (when the baby boomers generation was incorporated into the elderly), and many regions have more than 40% of the elderly as of 2023. If progresses as the current trend continues, all 229 regions nationwide will become super-aged societies by 2038. In addition, there are some regions where the proportion of the elderly population, which continues to increase nationwide, decreases from 2053. Until 2053, the proportion of the elderly population in the super-aged society was examined by subdividing the section into the range of 5%. Based on the results of the survey, this study proposes a super-aged society of 20% or more and less than 35% as the first stage (super-aged society I), 35% or more and less than 50% as the second stage (super-aged society II), and 50% or more as the third stage (super-aged society III). - COLLAPSE

    The purpose of this study is to develop a housing stress assessment framework and measuring indicators that can explore the causes of housing stress in relation to housing. The research method is as follows. First, detailed indicators were derived based on related literature and keywords that appeared in newspaper articles after COVID-19. Considering the characteristics of these indicators, the basic structure of the assessment framework was created, and a preliminary assessment framework was constructed by assigning specific indicators corresponding to each category. Second, the appropriateness of the contents and composition of the preliminary assessment framework and detailed indicators was identified. For this, two-stage Delphi surveys were conducted with 17 experts using a semi-structured questionnaire. Third, The final housing stress measurement tool was completed by reflecting the opinions from five people. The main results of the study are as follows: The assessment framework for identifying housing stress consisted of four main domains including personal, environmental, economic, and social area. Detailed indicators for each assessment domain included indicators related to health status and family life in the personal area, indicators related to community infrastructure, community safety, and housing and living environment satisfaction in the environmental area, indicators related to income and expenditure in the economic area, and social situation in the social area. The final measurement tool was developed by including indicators of activities, relationships, and social inclusion. - COLLAPSE

    This study aims to investigate odors generated from residential drains and residents’ awareness of these issues. Research on indoor odors is relatively limited compared to outdoor studies. Specifically, this study hypothesizes that odors aggravate residents’ health problems and mental stress. To address this, gas emissions from drains in residential spaces were measured, and a questionnaire was conducted to comprehensively analyze the olfactory environment. The survey collected data on various factors influencing residents’ living environments, including odor sensitivity, cleanliness, space type, house orientation, location, odor sources, occurrence times, seasons, blocking methods, purchase intentions for odor-blocking products, and price preferences. These data were analyzed to identify correlations among the factors. The analysis revealed that the primary issue stemmed from the evaporation of sealing water in conventional traps, reducing their effectiveness in blocking odors. Based on these findings, the study concluded that transitioning to sealed odor-blocking devices is necessary to minimize physical impacts and ensure consistent and sustainable odor prevention. This study is expected to contribute to protecting residents from unpleasant odors in residential spaces and provide foundational data for addressing odor-related safety risks in enclosed indoor environments. - COLLAPSE

    Senior welfare housing was introduced to enhance housing stability for low-income elderly households without homes and has been consistently supplied. The Korea government has announced plans for further expansion. Senior welfare housing integrates welfare centers to provide essential daily life support of the elderly, making it a flagship initiative. This study examines the operational status of programs in senior welfare housing, focusing on their role in supporting aging-in-place (AIP). Data were collected through an online survey with management offices and welfare center staff at nine senior welfare housing complexes where residents had lived for over a year. The findings revealed that all six program domains were supported, but only about half of the complexes actively operated programs across each domain. Programs in the ‘housing management and housing life’ domains were the most commonly available and implemented, while the care domain was the least developed. In order to support the AIP of elderly residents, the planning and operation of diverse, and detailed programs are required. Gradual changes in the programs should also consider the long-term residency of the elderly. This study provides foundational data not only for improving the program operations of existing complexes and developing effective strategies for newly established Senior Welfare Housing. - COLLAPSE

    Recognizing that securing housing is perceived as a significant barrier to marriage, various housing policies targeting the youth demographic have been implemented. This study aims to identify which of these policies are preferred by young individuals considering marriage and to assess the anticipated changes in their willingness to marry upon receiving such support. An online survey was conducted among 310 unmarried youths of marriageable age, and the valid responses were analyzed. The findings indicate that respondents perceive housing issues as critical in the context of marriage, with a particular emphasis on the burden of housing costs. While ‘housing finance loans’ emerged as the most preferred policy, there was a general inclination towards favoring multiple policies rather than a single one. Notably, when considering the impact of preferred policy support on marriage intentions, public rental housing demonstrated a relatively stable effect, as it had the lowest proportion of individuals reporting no change in marriage intention and the highest proportion indicating a significant positive change. These results can serve as a foundational basis for formulating housing policies aimed at supporting marriage among the youth. - COLLAPSE

    This study was conducted on the spatial composition of housing plans in Seokbo-myeon traditional villages belonging to the Andong-Yeongnam cultural area of Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gulguji Village in Uljin-gun belonging to the Yeongdong cultural area. For this, the analysis was based on the sketch drawings prepared in the previous researcher’s survey. This study presupposes that there is a contact with the residential cultural area between the east and west of the Taebaek Mountains in Gyeongsangbuk-do, which can be considered a topographical limit. By analyzing the similarity of each other centering on the housing types, it was intended to derive the characteristics of overlapping or changing the spatial composition with the adjacent residential cultural areas. As a result of the study, the plane composition characteristics of the two traditional villages were derived. Based on this, it has a unique regional identity within a specific area of the traditional society, but on the other hand, it was interpreted as a result related to the expansion of the plane to reflect housing needs or regional differentiation. Through these research results, the existence of a certain local residential culture area was confirmed. - COLLAPSE

    The purpose of this study is to explore the housing stressors which are the causes related to housing that affect the stress of metropolitan residents in a multidimensional manner. For this purpose, online survey was conducted targeting residents of Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, and six major metropolitan cities. The relationship between the stress level of respondents and housing stressors was analyzed with SPSS25. The main results are as follows: There were significant differences between groups depending on age, gender, number of family members, presence of children, age of first child, income, housing type, housing size, length of residence, type of occupancy, etc. The stress level was high in people in their 30s, single-person households, and households raising young children. The housing stressors that affect the increase in stress were social discrimination, burden of education expenses, burden of overall consumption expenditures, burden of housework, perceived environmental pollution, burden of housing expenses, and burden of child care. Housing stressors that help relieve stress included mental health awareness, social stability, satisfaction with income level, job satisfaction, satisfaction with friend relationships, satisfaction with family relationships, housing stability, good indoor air quality, overall housing satisfaction, satisfaction with medical and health infrastructure, and overall community satisfaction. - COLLAPSE

    This study explored community design methods for public spaces through visual manipulation and expression based on Lacan’s ‘theory of desire for the other’, focusing on Riken’s work. The results of the study are as follows. First, the methods of expressing desire through gaze derived from the investigation and analysis of previous studies can be divided into ‘unfamiliar gaze,’ ‘multiple gazes,’ and ‘momentary gaze.’ Second, the methods of community activation to satisfy the ‘desires of others’ in public spaces are as follows. ‘regionality’ induces ‘copying’ through ‘unfamiliar gaze’ and ‘multiple gaze’ through ‘form’, thereby showing regional characteristics and strengthening the solidarity of residents. ‘Symbolism’ can satisfy various desires by utilizing all visual expression elements. ‘Openness’ can induce community through ‘multiple gazes’. Among them, it promotes ‘inclusiveness’ and ‘interaction’ by blurring the boundaries of space through ‘materials’ and ‘forms’ and allows residents to actively participate in activities. ‘Support’ utilizes ‘materials’ and ‘forms’ to induce users’ access and movement through ‘copying’ and ‘dedifferentiation’, and supports activity through ‘concealment’ to enable communication between users and public spaces. Third, in places where external non-specific objects come and go, it is advantageous to emphasize ‘openness’ with ‘multiple gazes’ by relaxing boundaries through ‘materials’ and ‘forms.’ And in public spaces centered on residents, it is most advantageous to emphasize ‘symbolism’ through ‘forms’ that connect separate spaces, such as ‘unfamiliar gazes,’ ‘multiple gazes,’ and ‘momentary gazes.’ Therefore, it is necessary to plan community design in a differentiated way by considering the target’s range of movement, directionality, and fixed overlapping lines of sight. - COLLAPSE

    This study explored how to apply the plant properties of biophilic design to public spaces in senior welfare facilities, considering the depression levels among elderly. To achieve this, we derived various types of biophilic plant attributes through previous studies and literature reviews. Additionally, images of biophilic plant properties applied to public spaces of senior welfare centers were generated using Stable Diffusion, and then the elderly’s preferences for biophilic plant properties were investigated. The analysis revealed a strong preference among the elderly for the “Garden type”. Preferences by gender were higher in men than in women, and the elderly individuals with depression had a higher preference for plant properties than those without depression. Although there was no significant difference in preference for specific plant types based on the type of plant attribute, the independent samples t-test results showed that there were significant differences in preference for specific plant types based on gender and presence or absence of depression. Furthermore, ANOVA results showed significant differences in preference based on depression level, particularly for the “Planter type. Future studies may help develop specific strategies to implement biophilic design considering various spaces and functions of senior welfare centers. - COLLAPSE
