Abstract Low-rise residential blocks are meaningful for cities not only as balanced development and diversity of urban landscape but also as alternative spaces enabling cities to respond to changes quickly. Also, they are the places of settlement containing dwellers’ lives gradually evolved. Therefore, the necessity of regeneration policies to maintain and develop low-rise residential blocks has come to the fore. For the regeneration of low-rise residential blocks in cities, this study aims to suggest ‘Planing Guideline of Small-Unit Low-Rise Residential Block’ reflecting residential environment of '1st Common Residential Areas' in Young-dong district, Gangnam-gu. The direction of low-rise residential block planning is suggested with three steps: 1.Collective housing typology considering residential density 2.Improvement of architectural institutions reflecting residential environment 3.Combination of buildings considering residential area land use. In spite of differences in residential environments, Courtyard-type(Block-type) and Rowrise-type(Urban Townhouse) have been picked as the most suitable collective housing types for small-scale blocks. When collective housing types are applied to the planning of small-unit blocks, piths of buildings above 1.0H, parking spaces above 1.3 per unit and outdoor space ratio above 40% can be achieved, which are enough to be encouraged. Based on the results above, this study seeks after combination method of buildings suitable for residential land use by planning collective housing complexes for each small-scale blocks.
