A Study for Vitalizing Street-Housing Redevelopment Projects: Analyzing the Survey of Residents' Needs

ABSTRACT This study aims to introduce “Street-Housing” Redevelopment Projects adopted by the revision of regulations in 2012 and promote them by surveying residents’ needs. The objectives of the street-housing redevelopment projects are to maintain existing street systems and redevelop housing by small units, as an alternative to the large-scale housing redevelopment by the expropriation. Residents, however, do not seem to support the new projects since they are satisfied with their current housing, have difficulty in raising funds, and are uncertain about proceeding with the pre-arranged. Despite these barriers, residents may support the projects if project charges can be lowered by the reduction in each resident’s share and the increase in supporting funds. This study proposes new practical methods for realizing the projects: choice of an appropriate site, engaging for resident’s participation in projects, reduction in project charges, and removal of barriers to co-operative development. etc.Key words: Street-Housing Redevelopment Projects, Survey of Residents’ Needs, Vitalizing
