| Abstract |
Because of economic growth and the social trend to respect individuality, people's average commodity volume tends to increase. It makes people perceive the importance of storage space. The storage planning without consideration of commodity volume in the apartment can not satisfy the needs of residents. This study is developed focused on the 85m² apartment which is the most representative and general type. The objectives of the study are to investigate the storage-capacity of 85m² apartment offered by 4 construction companies to know the present storage condition, to investigate the average volumes and type of commodities in 30 families located in Seoul and Kyungkido to produce the necessary storage-capacity, and lastly to produce optimal storage-capacity and proportion of optimal storage-capacity considering the volume of the furniture owned by each resident. The results of the study are 1) the storage capacity for commodity volume in 85m² apartment is 19.41m³. 2) the optimal storage-capacity which only counts the storage volume of built-in furniture is 17.14m³ 3) the proportion of optimal storage-capacity is 9.5% of the house-capacity. |
