| Abstract |
To address youth housing poverty, Seoul has established and implemented a support system for Youth Safe Housing. This initiative aims to encourage development in areas centered around public transportation and attract private investment by easing regulations and simplifying procedures. However, this approach has led to a trend where Youth Safe Housing development prioritizes business feasibility over community functionality. Previous studies on Youth Safe Housing have primarily focused on institutional and demand surveys, neglecting specific spatial planning. This study seeks to analyze the spatial layout of Youth Safe Housing by comparing it with enterprise-type rental housing, where youth communities thrive. A literature review identified issues and research trends related to community facilities in youth housing. Representative cases of Youth Safe Housing and enterprise-type rental housing were selected for analysis of their current situation and spatial planning. The spatial configuration of community facilities was analyzed for each case using the DepthmapX program based on Space Syntax theory, to generate VGA. Lastly, the characteristics of each facility's spatial layout were compared and analyzed to understand accessibility and social interaction. This study revealed issues such as insufficient community facilities and limited interaction opportunities due to the spatial configuration of Youth Safe Housing. These findings are expected to serve as foundational data for future planning of community facilities in Youth Safe Housing, aiming to promote interaction and community engagement. |
