| Abstract |
The Mangyang-ro hillside residential area is a distinctive neighborhood where Busan’s historical context and topographical conditions intersect,
creating a diverse mix of residential types. More than a residential space, the area represents a typical hillside neighborhood that reflects the
daily lives of Busan’s residents and the city’s urbanization process. However, recent population decline and deteriorating living conditions
have placed the area at risk of disappearance, underscoring the urgent need for preservation. This study identifies the organizational
components of the Mangyang-ro hillside residential area by classifying it into 51 hillside residential clusters based on land type and road
layout. Within these clusters, residential types were further grouped into three categories to quantitatively analyze organizational components
and identify their characteristics. The findings offer valuable baseline data to support the development of sustainable preservation and
management strategies for hillside residential areas |
