Abstract

Although it is widely accepted that housing agents and institutions play a crucial role in (re)configuring the internal structure of housing markets, there is no much literature on the power relations among housing agents and institutions in the (re)production of housing space in the non-Western context. In this paper, founded theoretically on institutional approaches to housing, I investigate the structure of housing production and allocation, and the housing market system in South Korea. In addition, this research explores the characteristics of Korean housing policies in conjunction with the roles of and the interrelationships among housing agents in the (re)production of housing space in the Korean context. Based on the analysis of the structure of housing production and allocation in Korea, I argue that institutional approaches are valuable in investigating the housing market system in which political power relations among agents play more significant roles than pure market mechanisms in the (re)production of housing space.

주택에 관한 제도적 접근을 이론적 배경으로 한 이 논문은 1980-1990 년대 한국의 주택 생산 및 분배구조, 그리고 주택 시스템을 연구하였다. 더 나아가 이 논문은 한국적 맥락에서 주택 공간의 생산 및 재생산에 주택 에이젼트들이 어떠한 역할을 하였는지, 그리고 그들간의 역학관계는 어떠하였는지를 연구 주제로 하여 한국주택 정책의 특징들을 분석하였다. 주택 시장 및 도시 주거 구조에 관한 제도적 접근의 연구 초점은 바로 주택에 에이젼트들간의 역학 관계 및 갈등의 맥락에서 도시 토지 및 주택 시장의 제도적 구조를 분석하는 것이다. 주택 에이젼트의 역할, 주택 정책. 그리고 주택 관련 제도가 결정적 인자로 작용하는 한국 도시 주택 (재)생산 및 분배 구조 분석에는 주택에 관한 제도적 접근이 매우 유용하다.
