| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to find out the characteristics of housing policies and apartment designs by comparison of supplying and
remodeling apartments between France and Korea. The literature review was used in Korea cases and the literature review, site investigation,
and expert interviews were used in France cases. At first, by reviewing the related literatures about the apartment developments and
regenerations in France and Korea, twelve remodeling cases were represented respectively in Ile de France and Seoul. As a result, in housing
policy, the Korean housing market had a shortage of low-priced houses related to biased apartment developments by private sector
dependence. Consequently, the living in Korea generally required the high price in low quality houses. But in France, the housing policies
were very successful in housing quantity, quality, and expense. It is involved in balances between the public housing supply and the
activation of a private housing market based on the government support policy. Nevertheless, in the success of the apartment as a house
type, apartments in France means the social elimination because of the supply method problems and the management failures of HLM
institutions. However, in Korea, the apartment implies the successful life of the middle class population because of the competitive evolutions
during 40 years as a market housing. Secondly, In the characteristics of remodeling, the remodeling in Korea was for property value
improvements. It mainly executed to expand the size of a house by expansion of living space. However the remodeling in France was for
social mixes and connections with the surrounding area. It mostly performed by various design methods such as vertical merging houses,
partial removal, reconstruction, and construction of a local community centers and mixed-use residential buildings. This study shows the
simultaneously remodeling features of those two countries. These findings can be used in developing effective strategies for the public
housing regenerations in Korea and other countries. |
