| Abstract |
This study aims to seek a proper policy direction in response to the demand for apartment remodeling. As the research methods, we
diagnosed the current status of the remodeling policy and analyzed the demand for apartment remodeling nationwide. According to the result
of analysis, we suggested the fundamental direction and tasks for remodeling policies to be pursued at the government level. The results of
the study are summarized as follows. First, the result of analysis showed that the demand for environmental improvement(performance
improvement) remodeling project was much higher than other types of remodeling projects. The percentage of unit increased-type remodeling
that can secure business feasibility is about 10% and only 30% when it comes to reducing project costs. The remaining 70-90% need to be
promoted in environmental improvement remodeling projects which dependent on the residents’ payment. Second, in order to prepare a policy
action plan in response to the demand for apartment remodeling, it is necessary to set up clear policy goals and strategies for apartment
remodeling in advance at the national level. Along with proactive goals and strategies, graded policy support should be accompanied per type
of remodeling and business demand. We also suggest to simplify administrative procedures and support the R&D research to develop
technologies. It would help to utilize the unit increased-type remodeling. On the other hand, for utilizing the environmental improvement
remodeling which takes up a relatively high proportion, the policy should take care of as follows: offering housing performance information,
rationalizing long term repair reserve, fostering small companies and experts. Finally, apartment management system should be advanced from
the perspectives of managing old apartments and institutional foundations such as new construction and customized regulations for
differentiated remodeling should be accompanied. |
