| Abstract |
Studies of how dwelling type or spatial structure respond to the derivation of common types by region or changes in society, culture, thought, and system according to the times account for a substantial proportion of those on the types of the current rural and traditional dwellings. It can be said that dwelling forms and types are required of internal factors or from the perspective of residents' lives rather than of the external environment. However, it is undeniable that the external physical environment has been an indispensable factor in dwelling forms and types up to the present time. In other words, it can be said that external environmental factors are one of the necessary conditions to determine house form because the fundamental purpose of dwelling is to protect dwellers from the external environment. There are differences in the external physical environment even in locally similar areas. For instance, with the regard to mountainous, coastal, and island areas, the special factor of sea makes a difference in the dwelling arrangement and form and residents' lifestyles. Namely, this means that dwelling types are affected by external physical environmental factors for each area and generated in the form of responding to them. As a consequence, there are similarities in the basic planar type between the coastal and island area and the southern part of South Korea, but differences in the height and function of interior space between them. It can be seen that these differences are strongly affected by external physical environmental factors such as low temperature in the winter and location of the sea from the perspective of the villages. Furthermore, although there are the same phenomena such as the internalization of main wooden floored room in the dwelling space of the southern areas and front rooms in the coastal and island areas, the results show that they have different reasons such as external environmental factors and internal factors of dwellers. |
