The purpose of this study is to investigate the residents' satisfaction and attitudes according to the composition of an apartment complex with a differentiation of design factors; the shape of the building by floor plan, the type of open space, such as mounted space or deck garden, the type of boundary and security, and the type of tall buildings. This study is based on a comparative method using a questionnaire, interview and observation. Two neighboring apartments were selected, they are located in Busan and were built in 2003.
The major findings are as follows: 1) For the shape of the apartment building, residents were satisfied with the Y-shape floor plan tower and with the mounted open space for the type of open space. 2) Residents preferred a more closed type of boundary and security for the territoriality and privacy control. 3) The tall tower-type of building was more popular because of view and lights. These results could contribute to future study for the improvement of the type of the apartment complex with a differentiation of design factors in order to gratify residents' pride in their housing complex. |
