| Abstract |
This study is purpose to identify the changes to residential space perception and use after the COVID-19 pandemic according to housing characteristics of young single-person households. After investigating previous studies related to the housing characteristics of young single-person households and the residential space use of young single-person households after the pandemic, a survey was created. An online survey was conducted for 179 young single-person households, and the results were cross-analyzed with the SPSS statistics program and analyzed with ANOVA. The findings showed that young single-person households had different housing characteristics based on traits highly related to economic power (educational level, income level, job type). Most of the participants had high use rate and satisfaction level regarding the bedroom area that ensures personal space and rest. It was found that securing personal space that protects privacy and obtaining control over the environmental factors positively affected the stress perception of young single-person households in the residential space. Since the pandemic, the amount of time spent in the residential space increased. Among the participants, there was a high share of those who stay in their residential spaces the entire day were living on a monthly rent. As young single-person households spend a lot of time in the bedroom, variable spatial components that allow various types of activities may contribute to improving the residential space for young single-person households. |
