| Abstract |
This study empirically analyzes the transition in Seoul’s housing supply ratio by type from 2015 to 2024, focusing on housing policy and
system changes, demographic shifts, and evolving demand. The research process included a review of major policy and system changes,
analysis of demographic trends and housing supply statistics, time-series analysis of their effects on supply ratios, and formulation of future
policy directions. Results show that, despite a 6.9 percent decrease in population, the number of households increased by 7.0 percent,
reflecting a structural shift toward smaller households. During this period, the supply of non-apartment housing declined sharply, while
apartments became dominant after 2018 due to redevelopment policy changes and market conditions. The overall decline in housing supply
was largely attributed to the reduction in non-apartment housing, whereas apartment supply remained stable through ongoing redevelopment
projects. Based on these findings, three main policy directions are suggested for Seoul: systematic expansion of small and diverse housing
types to meet demand, prioritization of universal design and community-based housing to support an aging population, and preservation of
medium- and large-sized units for families. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of pipeline-based monitoring and flexible policy
feedback at each stage of the housing supply processs, including approval, construction start, and completion, to enhance policy effectiveness
and sustainability. |
