| Abstract |
Nowadays in residential areas of Korea, the demand for the mixed-use is fulfilled by the spontaneous mixed-use facilities, but without being designed with consideration for the quality of urban environment as well as its residential environment. So this study proposes 'neighborhood-type mixed-use housing' as a type of urban dwelling. The method was to investigate a selected residential area in Korea and analyse the structure, figure out the existing problems and analyse exemplars of Japan. This process resulted in 3 neighborhood type mixed-use housing types that can be applied to the urban block according to hierarchy of streets. By applying these types, the mediating zone between the street and the dwelling can be employed, offering pedestrians and residents a better environment. |
