- In 2007, the Special Architectural District System was introduced to enhance urban landscapes, but there were no guidelines for its implementation initially. Since 2021, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport has established and enforced the Special Architectural District Operation Guidelines; however, the number of designated zones remains limited. This study aims to analyze the operation guidelines and Seoul City standards, identify issues, and propose six improvements to the operational criteria. Firstly, a continuous operational plan should be developed to ensure the continuity of the guidelines, accompanied by specific reinforcement measures for review criteria. Secondly, the integration of review processes and designation decisions related to the special Architectural District is essential to maintain consistency. Thirdly, diverse special application items are required to benefit buildings subject to these provisions. Fourthly, relaxing the standards is necessary to diversify the special application items. Fifthly, streamlining the designation change procedures for completed buildings, along with securing human and material resources, is crucial. Lastly, related laws and regulations should be amended to allow the Special Architectural District System to accompany other legal frameworks when standards are relaxed. These improvement measures aim to activate the Special Architectural District System, necessitating a solid institutional foundation, a detailed operational guideline, and distinct regional standards to ensure an effective implementation of the system. - COLLAPSE

- In South Korea, which currently has the lowest birth rate in the world, establishing a child-friendly residential environment to support child care in the long term is a critical task. This study aims to analyze the scope and trends of existing research on housing in relation to child care and, based on this analysis, explore future research directions. 49 recently published Korean journal articles were examined using the scoping review method. The analysis revealed five major themes in housing research related to child care: (1) residential location and mobility related to childcare, (2) demand and satisfaction for a childcare-friendly environment, (3) development and application of evaluation indicators/models for childcare-friendly environment, (4) housing characteristics influencing childbirth and childcare, and (5) housing policies focused on childbirth and childcare. The majority of these studies were published in journals related to housing, architecture, and design. Quantitative research methods were significantly more prevalent than qualitative approaches, and a concentration of studies in the Seoul metropolitan area was observed. Based on the discussions and analyses of this study, several future research directions are proposed. These include the development of a systematic roadmap for the provision of childcare facilities, the expansion of research projects involving actual caregivers, and a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of existing policies. - COLLAPSE

- This study aims to compare the fall-related characteristics and perceptions on the fall-prevention housing among older adults with and without falls. This study surveyed 30 older adults with fall experience and 30 older adults without fall experience in Urumqi, Xinjiang, China. It reflected the differences in physical and psychological condition changes, and differences in the importance and satisfaction of fall-prevention home modification among them. This study found older people’s physical functioning deteriorated significantly because of falls. Regarding the fear of falling, older adults with fall experience are significantly more afraid of falling in their current home than the elderly without fall experience. The two groups both were not satisfied with their current home in the aspect of fall-prevention and showed a high awareness of the importance and necessity of the fall-prevention home modification. Some urgent home modification items were found from the IPA(Importance-Performance Analysis). It is necessary to analyze the reasons why fall prevention housing modification cannot be actively implemented in the future and to explore plans to expand fall prevention housing modification. - COLLAPSE

- The purpose of this study is to explore parenting-friendly housing support strategies by analyzing international cases of multigenerational housing as a response to South Korea’s ultra-low birth rate. To achieve this, the study reviews domestic and international low birth rate policies, analyzes relevant literature, and conducts a case study to provide insights for formulating effective housing policies in South Korea. The research method is a case study based on literature analysis, focusing on two key components: (1) a general overview of housing cases, including location, construction year, housing type, and scale, and (2) an examination of housing characteristics that facilitate multigenerational coexistence. Five cases were analyzed: ‘Kampung Admiralty’ (Singapore), ‘Toyoshikidai Housing Complex’ and ‘Shibaura Island’ (Japan), and ‘Agrihood’ and ‘One Flushing’ (United States). The findings highlight three aspects: (1) proximity between parent and child generations fosters daily caregiving and mutual support; (2) integration of care services is essential in creating a parenting-friendly environment; and (3) financial support policies enhance the feasibility of multigenerational models. The study concludes that a complementary approach combining housing development and policy support is necessary. By adopting international best practices, South Korea can develop a sustainable multigenerational housing model that fosters intergenerational interaction and strengthens family and community cohesion. - COLLAPSE

- This study was conducted with 74 households in the shape of 一 and ㄱ of the traditional house in Chungcheongbuk-do located in the center of the Korean Peninsula. Spatial compositional characteristics were derived by preparing an analysis table that derives continuous changes by classifying housing planes, and similarity between distribution characteristics within the region and adjacent area planes was derived through a traditional housing distribution map. As a result of the study, in the traditional society, housing maintains homogeneous characteristics in modern socio-cultural manner, but some heterogeneous cases were also found. This is meaningful in that the study derives the cultural tangent that the unique composition of the main housing space in a specific area may change under the influence of adjacent housing and cultures. In the future, research is planned to expand to a national scope and to research on life history and modern change. - COLLAPSE

- This study analyzes the long-term settlement intentions of Seoul residents by age group and examines how social capital interacts with neighborhood environment factors, specifically walkability and green spaces. Using data from the 2023 Seoul Survey (n = 19,348), ordinal logistic regression identified key determinants and the marginal effects of interactions by age group. Residential environment, healthcare, and public transportation positively influenced settlement intentions across all age groups, while the educational environment was significant only among the middle-aged, and walkability only among older adults. The influence of social capital varied by age group. Interactions between walkability, green spaces, and social capital showed either complementary effects or moderation effects that weakened settlement intentions depending on the group. These results suggest that environmental and social factors affect settlement intentions differently across age groups, highlighting the need for an integrated, age-specific urban housing strategy. - COLLAPSE

- This study explores the perceptions of key stakeholders regarding the introduction of a building management certification system for residential collective buildings in Korea. Despite the growing prevalence of small- to mid-sized multi-owner buildings, inadequate legal frameworks and operational mechanisms continue to create governance gaps, blurred accountability, and frequent stakeholder conflicts. Based on responses from 221 survey participants and in-depth interviews with five practitioners—including management office staff, outsourced management firms, and residents—this study investigates stakeholder awareness, willingness to participate, perceived barriers, and policy expectations. The findings reveal that while 83.3% of respondents acknowledge the need for such a system, only 62% express intention to apply, citing cost concerns, procedural complexity, and skepticism about tangible benefits. Drawing from these insights, the study proposes practical policy strategies including pilot implementation, tiered cost-sharing mechanisms, digital application platforms, and periodic re-certification. These findings aim to inform a certification framework that reflects Korea’s unique building management environment and promotes standardized, transparent, and sustainable practices. - COLLAPSE

- With increasing global aging and elderly poverty, the need for adequate senior housing is becoming urgent. In South Korea, many permanent apartments over 25 years old are now occupied predominantly by low-income older adults, creating naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs). Due to financial constraints, many oler adults residents remain in aging environments, increasing risks of social isolation and health decline. This study examines the housing plans and environmental needs of these residents to support aging-in-place (AIP) and aging-in-community (AIC). A structured survey was conducted with 490 residents aged 65 and older in a 35-year-old public rental housing complex in Busan. The survey evaluated demographics, health status, housing intentions, and perceived importance of environmental features and services. Results showed that most residents preferred to remain in their current homes, with single low-income women showing strong AIP intentions, raising concerns of being “stuck-in-place.” Priorities included accessible design, accident prevention, and clean outdoor spaces. Key service needs were healthcare and daily life support, while in-unit needs focused on air quality, mold prevention, and barrier-free design. The findings emphasize the need for physical upgrades and integrated services to promote sustainable aging in public housing and ensure well-being among vulnerable seniors. - COLLAPSE

- The rapid aging of the population in Korea is causing various social problems such as increased care burden, economic poverty, social isolation, and intergenerational conflicts, and accordingly, the importance of social participation of the elderly and community environment is being emphasized. This study aims to suggest ways to improve the physical accessibility of village community spaces so that the elderly can live safely and independently in the living area near their residences and have opportunities for interaction with residents and social participation. Through a review of previous studies, the physical accessibility factors that are friendly to the elderly were derived as securing safe walking rights, providing selectable conveniences, easy-to-find spaces, visibility of entrances and exits, and connections with living facilities. Based on this, the case analysis of five village Sarangchae in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City showed that the connectivity with living facilities was high, while other factors were found to be insufficient. Based on the analysis results, the improvement measures suggested were improving the walking environment, expanding rest facilities, improving visibility, and strengthening connections with living convenience facilities. This study aims to contribute to establishing a foundation for independent activities of the elderly within the local community by creating a senior-friendly village community space. - COLLAPSE
