| Abstract |
Urbanization calls for sustainable residential development in hilly area. Aging hillside residential areas in Seoul suffer from poor living
conditions, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation caused by rapid and uneven urban growth. Structural challenges and
limited accessibility make traditional development methods ineffective, highlighting the need for systematic, innovative, and sustainable
solutions. This study proposes new planning strategies for aging residential areas on Seoul’s slopes by addressing topographical, social, and
environmental factors comprehensively. It evaluates current spatial characteristics and housing conditions, identifies root causes of existing
problems, and classifies areas based on their unique physical and environmental features. By examining successful cases of sloped land
development both domestically and internationally, tailored design elements and practical strategies are developed to suit Seoul’s specific
hillside context. The research emphasizes overcoming the physical constraints of steep terrain, improving essential infrastructure, enhancing
daily convenience for residents, and promoting ecological sustainability. This approach supports sustainable, nature-integrated development that
makes efficient use of sloped land, blends with the natural landscape, and significantly improves residents’ quality of life. The findings
provide strategic insights for urban renewal policies and sustainable housing development. |
