Abstract |
This study was conducted to find environmental improvement measures, noting that various problems also occur as the number of people
with pets increases. As a result of the study, companions were in high demand for space and facilities considering the behavioral
characteristics of their pets, and non-companions were worried about the noise, excrement, and aggressive tendencies of pets. In the apartment
complex, it was thought that some of the problems could be solved by installing guide signs related to pets, converting some of the
playgrounds into pet play areas, and installing pet toilets or excrement envelopes in landscaping spaces. On the other hand, it was thought
that installing pet playgrounds and rest facilities on the rooftops of convenience and welfare facilities could be an alternative because the
rooftop of the apartment building has problems such as various safety accidents and privacy infringement of the uppermost households. In
FGI of architectural practitioners, the spaces and facilities proposed in this study were evaluated as applicable. However, solving facility
problems, resident consent, and improving related regulations are considered to be follow-up study. |
