| Abstract |
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues beyond two(2) years, young single-person households face various psychological and physical
difficulties involving the increase of types and duration of activities in a relatively small housing unit. This study reviews and analyses
preceding research on the post-pandemic changes in behavior of young single-person households. Also, a series of housing unit plan design
proposals submitted to public housing design competitions held during the pandemic was examined. Based on these analyses, Six design
strategies for a adequate housing unit plan for young single-person households were established: provision of a separate rest zone, provision
of a flexible alpha room, diversification of the living room function, inclusion of a hygiene space into the entrance, maximization of daylight
and view, and provision of an open balcony. Finally, three(3) types of adequate housing unit plan prototypes for young single-person
households were proposed for the post-pandemic era. |
