The Change of Dweller's Residents Stability on Residential Environment Improvement Projects: Focused on Apartment Housing Construction Method

ABSTRACT Residential Environment Improvement Project (REIP) which has started in 1989 and continued with 3rd government-supporting project in 2013 has lots of policy changes and related studies. However, the related researches have focused on residents resettlement into the project site, this paper is more interested in the residents stability than residents resettlement. So, this paper analyzes the changes of residents stability on the site of REIPs (with 3 groups of dwellers, removers and newcomers). We survey about understanding of those projects, each interior physical housing characters, housing cost, outside settlement characters. On the base of case analysis, we can conclude as follows: firstly, the residents are more young, higher educated, and higher income but not alter to household, barrier, occupation. Secondly, REIPs have some positive influences on physical conditions of housing and outside characters but negative impacts on housing cost. In case of newcomers, there are no changes of housing size and room numbers but higher housing cost, better outside settlement conditions.Key words: Act on the Maintenance and Improvement of Urban Areas and Dwelling Conditions for Residents, Residential Environment Improvement Project, Resident Stability, Apartment Housing Construction MethodLHI Journal (2014) 5(2):69-79 http://dx.doi.org/10.5804/LHIJ.2014.5.2.069http://lhi.lh.or.kr
