| Abstract |
This study examines facility improvement needs in long-term public rental housing in Korea, where the government has increased supply to
stabilize housing for low-income households but now faces challenges from aging buildings and limited maintenance budgets. A survey of
2,597 households assessed satisfaction levels and priority needs for both common facilities and interior units. Satisfaction with common
facilities averaged 3.75, with higher scores among one-person elderly households, male elderly residents, and households that include older
adults. The most urgent needs involved safety, especially installing or replacing handrails on ramps and upgrading CCTV systems. Interior
facility satisfaction averaged 3.70, also generally positive, but residents expressed strong demand for wallpaper and flooring replacement.
Cross-tabulation analysis showed significant differences across household types: for common areas, ramp and handrail improvements were
consistently prioritized, while for interiors, vulnerable households highlighted the need for accessibility features such as safety handrails.
Overall, the findings indicate that facility improvement projects in long-term public rental housing should prioritize safety-related upgrades
inside units and in shared spaces, reflecting the aging condition of the housing stock and the needs of vulnerable residents. |
