| Abstract |
This study empirically identifies the architectural determinants affecting the perceived profitability of relocatable neighborhood facilities. Using
survey data from 404 potential and current operators, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of architectural
attributes after controlling for economic and demographic factors. The results show that key profitability drivers differ by usage type:
accessibility for retail, spatial comfort for service, and environmental quality for education. The final model demonstrated substantially
improved explanatory power (R² = 0.472). The individual architectural variables and facility usage types were included. Among the
determinants, required parking spaces (β=0.36) and construction lead time (β=?0.29) were identified as the most influential predictors of
perceived profitability, emphasizing the value of operational mobility. Furthermore, ceiling height (β=0.16) showed a stronger positive impact
than horizontal interior area (β=0.14), and the number of windows (β=0.13) also significantly enhanced profit expectations. The findings
suggest that operational mobility, vertical openness, and visual permeability are more critical than simple floor area, highlighting the need for
a program-based customized modular system integrating usage-specific design and smart mobility technologies. |
