| Abstract |
This study presents a data-driven framework for developing flexible housing based on daily-cycle scenarios, addressing the changing lifestyles
of the rapidly increasing number of one- and two-person households. To move beyond earlier research that focused mainly on lifecycle stages
or floor-plan variations, the study uses the 2024 Time Use Survey microdata from Statistics Korea to analyze daily behavioral patterns and
establish a step-by-step relationship among behavior, scenario, space, and technology. Four persona types were identified through this analysis.
Two representative groups, a young single professional in their 20s and a retired senior in their 60s, were selected to clarify key time-based
activity patterns and the spatial transitions needed to support them. Throughout this process, flexible technological elements such as sliding,
lifting, and rotating mechanisms were mapped to behavioral changes, demonstrating that these adaptive features can effectively reduce
functional conflicts such as work and sleep or cooking and leisure, which are common in compact housing. Overall, the framework combines
behavioral data analysis with technical design to support next-generation, human-centered models that enhance the flexibility and efficiency of
small urban housing. |
