| Abstract |
This study aims to examine the current status of facilities in residential environments for young and middle-aged residents within mixed-use
public rental housing complexes, focusing on psychological recovery and identifying environmental factors influencing stress reduction. The
investigation involved mixed-use public rental housing complexes in Seoul that received green building certification within the last decade,
utilizing Roger Uhrich's Supportive Design Theory. To explore factors contributing to residents' psychological stress recovery effects, this
study employed Harting's Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS) Measurement Tool, based on Kaplan & Kaplan's Attention Restoration
Theory. This tool assessed factors like being away, fascination, compatibility, coherence, and legibility. The research delved into key factors
influencing recovery effects on young and middle-aged residents in the housing complexes. Results revealed that, in terms of satisfaction,
fascination and compatibility were the most influential factors for the young age group, determined through regression analysis. For the
middle-aged group, coherence and being away emerged as the most influential factors. These findings provide groundwork for future detailed
planning of recovery and well-being environments tailored to specific age groups of residents. |
