Plagiarism and legal disputes concerning architectural works are increasing, yet the Copyright Act lacks specific guidelines for determining architectural infringement. This study seeks to reduce these disputes and support fair use of architectural designs by establishing clearer criteria for assessing copyright infringement. A total of 25 copyright-related court cases from 1995 to 2023 were collected and analyzed, focusing on factors such as work type, lawsuit classification, court rulings, and case details. The infringement judgment process in these cases was organized into a flowchart illustrating the various types and criteria involved in court decisions on architectural copyright infringement. Three main types of judgments emerged: assessment of copyrightability, determination of defendant’s innocence, and acknowledgment of infringement. Key criteria include the determination of copyright, identification of the copyright holder, evaluation of the defendant’s actions and contractual relationships, and assessment of substantial similarity or dependency. Further research is needed to address ongoing issues and potential improvements in copyright criteria for architectural works.

In 2018, the Local Construction Safety Center was introduced to local governments to improve the quality of architectural administrative services by ensuring building safety and specializing architectural tasks. By 2021, establishing these centers became mandatory for regional local governments and basic local governments with populations exceeding 500,000 to enable more professional building safety management. In 2023, the requirement expanded based on building permit areas and the proportion of aged buildings, resulting in 140 local governments being obligated to establish such centers. Despite operational challenges, the trend of expanding these centers continues. However, no evaluation of their operational status has been conducted, highlighting the need for a grounded approach to improve their functionality through on-site inspections. This study conducted inspections and work monitoring of the Local Construction Safety Centers and proposed an operational model to enhance their effectiveness.

Users tend to move along familiar routes rather than following the planned evacuation routes. Therefore, it is important to understand how users perceive evacuation paths when planning evacuation routes. This study investigates the awareness of evacuation routes among users of mixed-use buildings and examines the relationship between this awareness and emergency exit selection. The research procedure and methods are as follows. A survey was conducted to assess users’ knowledge of evacuation routes, and the findings were analyzed to determine how awareness influences the choice of emergency exits. It was confirmed that, in an evacuation situation, users tend to choose emergency exits that are adjacent to their location and easily recognizable. Based on these findings, the following evacuation route planning strategies can be proposed. An evacuation route plan is proposed, considering spatial behavior within mixed-use buildings. The study highlights the importance of enhancing users’ awareness of emergency exits when planning evacuation routes. Emergency exits should be strategically located in easily recognizable areas and accessible from daily movement paths for swift calculation and use.

With 22.7% of its population aged 65 and older, Gyeongsangbuk-do is facing significant demographic changes that require new housing strategies. This study explores housing satisfaction among elderly residents in the region's public silver housing to develop a suitable housing model for its aging population. A survey of 50 residents from two public silver housing complexes was conducted. The results showed high satisfaction with internal facilities, particularly barrier-free designs, but concerns about housing costs and access to transportation and medical services. Economic factors and location were found to be the most significant influences on housing satisfaction. The study suggests that increasing financial support, improving infrastructure, and integrating welfare services are crucial for enhancing the living conditions of elderly residents. These findings provide valuable insights for shaping future elderly housing models in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

A Study on Improving Legislation for the Planning of Post-Disaster Temporary Housing

박연주(Park, Yeon-Ju) ; 서현(Seo, Hyun)

https://doi.org/10.5659/JAIK.2025.41.3.49

This study focused on the legislation that serves as the basis for post-disaster temporary housing plans for disaster victims. The Building Act and the Disaster Relief Act started from the Japanese legal framework and have been repeatedly revised insufficiently regarding post-disster temporary housing. The method of relief has also been established with refer ence to the current situation in Japan and continues to this day. This has become the background for the development of post-disster temporary housing with a focus on rapid supply. In Korea, temporary housing is becoming longer-term and improvements in livability are being demanded, but despite the development and demands of society, the legislation still remains in the old framework and needs to be reviewed. In Korea, in a system that prioritizes shelters in public facilities, guidelines on post-disaster temporary housing were established in 2018 and serve as the basis for planning. However, there has been insufficient research on how the guidelines have affected planning. Therefore, this study analyzed three post-disaster temporary housing cases planned after the 2018 guidelines. From the cases, the insufficient influence of the legislation on planning and the need for improvement were derived and improvement measures were proposed. The significance of this study lies in examining how domestic legislation has dealt with post-disaster temporary housing and, based on cases, deriving improvement measures that are appropriate for the domestic situation.

https://doi.org/10.5659/JAIK.2025.41.3.61

This study analyzes the distribution and lower-floor characteristics of factory-adaptive reuse buildings in the Seongsu-dong semi-industrial area, focusing on changes in use. A total of 50 Factory-Adaptive reuse buildings were selected to identify their distribution patterns, use changes, and types. The lower-floor elements of 48 buildings with commercial uses were examined to understand how these uses influence entrance and outdoor spaces. The research found that factory-adaptive reuse buildings were distributed along Yeonmujang-gil, linear pattern, with relatively low density. These buildings maintained factory use while integrating commercial functions, with distinct differences in entrance and outdoor spaces. In buildings that still serve factory functions, separate entrances for commercial and factory uses were aligned with their respective functions, while outdoor spaces mainly supported factory operations. In fully commercialized buildings, entrances were positioned to connect outdoor spaces with the building, enhancing visitor flow and actively utilizing outdoor areas for commercial purposes. In these cases, the street functions extended into outdoor spaces, reflecting a successful adaptation of the factory's architectural features.

https://doi.org/10.5659/JAIK.2025.41.3.73

This study explores the spatial distribution and characteristics of musical instrument stores in Seoripul Instrument Street, a cultural-commercial cluster in Seocho District, Seoul. This cluster emerged with the establishment of major cultural landmarks like the Seoul Arts Center and the Korea National University of Arts. The research examines locational patterns, operational strategies, and factors driving the clustering of these stores. Field surveys, interviews, and mapping analysis were used to analyze 88 instrument stores across three zones. Zone 1, near the Seoul Arts Center, has the highest store density. Zone 2, marked by high rents and high-rise buildings, has limited occupancy. Zone 3, with lower accessibility and visibility, has fewer stores but offers lower rent costs. A floor-level analysis shows that most stores are located on upper floors rather than ground floors, reflecting a preference for private, specialized spaces that foster trust with professional customers. The findings reveal that consumer accessibility, urban structure, and the specific needs of classical music instruments shape the spatial distribution of stores in Seoripul Instrument Street. By examining the relationship between cultural-commercial clustering and urban spatial organization, the study underscores the exclusivity and professional focus of classical music culture, contributing to the understanding of specialized urban districts.

https://doi.org/10.5659/JAIK.2025.41.3.103

This study proposes a standard model for smart senior centers using modular construction to support sustainable operation and maintenance in response to Korea’s aging population and demographic shifts. Through a literature review and case analysis, it examines the characteristics of modular construction and smart senior centers while analyzing the spatial composition of newly developed facilities. Based on this analysis, basic unit modules were designed, leading to the development of standard models adaptable to different scales. The findings highlight key spatial components, including an entrance, activity areas, resting spaces, bathrooms, and kitchens, all designed to support various programs and services while adhering to universal design principles. The basic unit module measures 3m × 9m (27㎡), ensuring compliance with transportation regulations under the Road Traffic Act. Four module types (A, B, C, D) were developed for flexible combinations, resulting in three standard models: a small-scale 54㎡ model with two units, a standard 81㎡ model with three units, and a large-scale 108㎡ model with four units. To address the uniformity of modular construction, diverse material finishes and regionally responsive design elements were incorporated. By creating adaptable, relocatable, and reusable smart senior centers, this study provides a framework for more efficient and sustainable senior care facilities. Further research is needed to verify implementation strategies and optimize operational management systems.
