Abstract The purpose of this study is to derive the necessary data for a Hanok restoration and conservation plan in Seochon. Of the 12 districts of the administrative district in the west side of Gyeongbok Palace, Tongin-dong, Chebudong, and Nuha-dong were the subjects of this study. The contents of this study are as follows. First, we analyzed the composition of housing using the dead-end alleys of Tong-in-dong, Chebu-dong and Nuha-dong. Second, the color characteristics of the alleys according to the housing composition classification using dead-end alleys were analyzed. The color values of L *, a *, b *, sR, sG and sB were analyzed using a Korean standard color analysis program. There are also many colors of various series, although there is a low ratio of the color of living elements of residents appearing in the dead-end alleys. The result of this study suggested the colors of the floor and the elevation in the alleys of non-Hanok type residences are dominated by gray series color and have a high degree of brightness. The color of the alley space where Hanok and non-Hanok housing is mixed is the color of the gray system and the brown system, but the color of the gray system is mainly formed. It is expected that the findings of this study can be used as basic data for the preservation and maintenance of dead-end alleys rather than the preservation of the Hanok in Seochon.
