| Abstract |
The objective of this research is to suggest a settlement plan for sustainable environment-friendly apartment complex, based on the post occupancy evaluation of the residents and manager from the S apartment complex in the metropolitan area, that has taken a environment-friendly certification. A summary of the result is as follows: 1)The satisfaction from the residents who knew that the apartment had taken environment-friendly certification at the time they moved in, was much higher than that from the residents who knew it after moving in. So public relations before the residents move in could be a short cut for environment-friendly plan, facilities, technology etc. to penetrate and settle into the resident's life. 2)The residents showed high satisfaction in the 'ecological environment' field and low satisfaction in 'accessability of transportation & neighbourhood facilities' and in 'floor impact noise'. 3)The residents were mostly participating in environment-friendly behavior and they answered that living in a certified apartment influences them to change their behavior or thought environment-friendly. 4)Through an interview with the chief manager, even though the water reusing system was installed, because of the cost of operating it and the concerns for outbreak of skin diseases among children, the system has never been used after example operation, and instead tap water was being used. Therefore we must take notice that the water reusing system was not being used as intended. This points out that conveying the clear definition of environment-friendly apartment to residents and common understanding must be achieved and public relations and education on environment-friendly facilities, technology and management should have priority. |
