| Abstract |
This study starts from the discussion tackling the problems of large scale housing renewal methodologies which cause low re-settlement levels, decrease of capacity in single-family housings and affordable housings. An optional development approach, flexible to the socioeconomic capabilities of residents, needs to be considered. This study suggests that sustaining lot-based developments is needed to respond to the ever-changing socio-economic conditions and to achieve sustainable housing regeneration. The proposed approach of lot-based housing revitalization can be achieved by a gradual process of housing renewal taken by residents? own initiative within the systems of the Building Act. Specifically, the adoption of the building agreement to make cases of exception of the Building Act and actively make use of party wall construction is anticipated to overcome the limits of neighborhood projects in the past. The policy suggestions of the research, tested through its housing renovation simulation, are proven to be an efficient method of housing renewal. In particular, party wall constructions and regulation of building heights to ensure right to have sunlight are suggested to become an effective way of implementing lot-based housing revitalization especially in cases of old properties adjacent to narrow alleys. |
