| Abstract |
As the number of single-person youth households increases, both the government and local authorities are expanding the supply of youth
housing. In this process, it is crucial to incorporate community facilities within these residences. While the importance of community facilities
is growing, issues regarding their utilization and management are surfacing in public housing. Currently, research proposals and plans have
been developed by analyzing community facilities in apartment housing, addressing associated issues. However, research on community
facilities for single-person youth housing is limited. This study aims to identify problems and generate insights by analyzing community
facilities in public housing, government-provided dormitories, and privately-operated co-living spaces for young individuals in Seoul. To
achieve this, the definition and housing status was first examined of single-person youth in Korea. Next, the current state of community
facilities was assessed in domestic apartment complexes. Then, examples of public housing, dormitories, and co-living spaces offered to
single-person youth households in Seoul were analyzed. Finally, based on case analysis, challenges and implications were derived for
single-person youth housing in Seoul. This study is expected to serve as fundamental data for designing community facilities when developing
public housing and government dormitories for young individuals in the future. |
