| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was (1) to investgate changes in house and social lifespace form and behaviors in the social lifespace of Korean family houses from Yi-dynasty to the present,and (2)to develop a housing conceptual framework on the basis of the ecosystem approach through analysis of changes in the Korean family houses. The documentary research method was used for this study.The major findings were that social lifespace forms were classified into four types: Traditional Basic type, Living-Hall type, Living Room type, and Living-Family-Study Room type. The behaviors in the social lifespace of Korean family houses from Yi-dynasty to the present changed a little in the low housing class and a lot in the high housing class. The social lifespace in the low housing class was characterized as Anbang (master bedroom and multi-purpose room)-centered social lifespace. The social lifespace in the middle housing class was from Anbang to living room. The social lifespace in the high housing class has various single-purpose social lifespaces, such as living room,familyroom,drawing room and study room. A housing conceptual framework was developed on the basis of these findings. |
