| Abstract |
As public rental housing in South Korea continues to age, concerns over deteriorating indoor environments and their impact on the health and quality of life of elderly residents have grown. In response, the government has implemented Green Remodeling Projects to improve energy performance and indoor living conditions in these housing units. This study investigates the impact of Green Remodeling Project implementation on residential satisfaction among senior residents living in aging public rental housing. Focusing on six interior spaces(mater bedroom, second bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, entrance, and balcony) the study examines satisfaction across six environmental quality factors: temperature, humidity, noise insulation, lighting, mold and odor/stale air. A face-to-face survey was conducted with residents aged 65 and older, comparing households in units with(n=91) and without(n=124) Green Remodeling. The results indicate that Green Remodeling significantly enhanced satisfaction regarding mold and air quality, likely due to improvements such as insulation, ventilation, and sanitary finishing.
However, satisfaction with temperature and sound insulation remained relatively low, suggesting that current remodeling measures may not fully address structural limitations or residents’ expectations. These findings highlight the need for user-centered remodeling strategies, including pre-design needs assessments and post-occupancy evaluations. Policy support for tailored remodeling based on elderly residents’ daily needs is essential to improve their quality of life and housing sustainability. |
