Abstract
This study investigates supply patterns and residential characteristics of the Urban-type Housing in Seoul. There havebeen 3,336 buildings and 71,790 housing units approved until the end of 2012. One-room apartments and small unitsless than 30 m2 of residential area amount to 81% and 82% of total units, respectively. Major findings are as follows.
First, single- and two-person households less than 30 years of age are mostly lived in the housing. Respondents aremainly professional and white-collar (43%) and service and sales workers (27%). Most of them are mid-income classes(67%), which is twice more than that of single- and two-person households in Seoul. They pay 672 thousand won inrent more than average rent of mid-income class. The rent to income ratios are 29.9% for single households and 24.5%for two-person households, which are higher than that of mid-income bracket. Third, their satisfaction level is relativelyhigh in internal environment and access to public service facilities, but not in external environment and communityservice facilities. They are satisfied with security and daylight, walking and safety, access to public transport and parkingspace, but not with noise and vibration, natural environment, access to park and cultural and sports facilities, and mostcommunity service facilities. It is necessary to reexamine the articles of deregulation and prepare design standards whileconsidering different housing and locational types.
