| Abstract |
This study examines and analyzes how the floor area ratio (FAR) incentive is applied in the planning and design of actual apartment houses in Namak New Town in Jeonam-do. It found three major problems. First, although regulatory items must satisfy the legal requirements, the structure allows many of the required FAR incentives to be satisfied by giving maximum FAR incentive within the range of mitigation. As a result, it makes the recommended items to attract developers difficult to be more workable. Second, while the satisfaction of the requirements can be evident in the regulatory items, the recommended items have obscure standards to predict whether they meet the requirements or not, except in the case of quantifiable items and inequitable or inconsistent application of the incentive. Third, in the absence of any minimum standard of adoption and application of regulatory items, low cost or easily adopted items were adopted or applied by formal, random and convenient ways and this was used as an instrument to improve FAR through the application of necessary incentives. Therefore, efforts to eliminate or minimize the regulation incentives, or to subdivide them into more specific items, including the numbers of applicable items in the rule, are considered necessary. |
