Abstract

This study has identified the living conditions of Jjokbang (a slice room) residents in Daegu to support the improvement of their living quality. The living conditions investigated were categorized into five areas which are income, housing, care, health and education in the Daegu Municipal Welfare Unit. The results of a one-to-one interview and participation survey of 31 Jjokbang residents in Daegu are as follows. First, they showed higher ages and longer residence periods than national averages. Secondly, We found that the housing cost support plan is essential for Jjokbang residents considering their income level and conditions. Third, In terms of housing facilities, restroom and heating facilities were poor while kitchen and bath facilities were relatively better compared to the national survey results. Fourth, It was found that the information about various supports should be delivered to the Jjokbang residents properly and sufficiently. Fifth, the biggest trouble in the health of Jjokbang residents seemed to be resulted from their living style just watching TV in their rooms during the daytime. Finally, in terms of educational aspects, jop creation programs and basic technical training of construction industry turned out to be mostly demanded.
