Tradition of Consistency and Change in Contemporary Korean Apartment Dwellers |
| Abstract |
The tradition of consistency and change in contemporary apartment dwellers in Seoul and the relationship between characteristics of residents and degrees of their tradition were studied through the documentary research and survey method. On the base of the survey, the frequency, percentage, cross-tabulated analysis, chi-squrae, and logit were used by SAS, SPSS PC+, LIMDEP computer packages.The major finding of this study was that the conventional notion of housing lifestyle existed in residents living in contemporary apartments. The good site and orientation of apartment were some degree of major concern in choosing the apartment house. The Anbang was considered as a hierarchic space in the house. People who were in their 30s and less favored the modern style, the people who were in their 50s liked the traditional style, but 40s-50s were in a transitional state. Finally, the age and religion of respondents were the most descriptive variables to explain housing symbolism in contemporary Korean apartment dwellers. |
