Abstract

This study aims to discover the differences between nonresident perception and resident satisfaction of urban block housing also known as court-yard housing. There was a tendency in recognizing that the dwelling qualities of urban block housing such as daylight, noise, and privacy were poor compared to grouped flats or grouped towers in Korea. This kind of perception was one of the main reasons why court-yard housing had not been widely adapted except for a few cases in Korea. This study objectifies the prejudice against them in the characteristics of units, courtyards, and neighborhood community streets through a survey conducted on a varied range of people related to building housing complexes; a cross-tabulation test was carried out to verify the homogeneity of these results. It was revealed that people were concerned about the shortage of daylight, but occupants were satisfied with the abundant sunlight made by the mid and low-rise buildings. People anticipated a lot of noise from the courtyard, but residents perceived that to be insignificant. On the contrary, the noise from the neighborhood community street was a real concern. People worried about the invasion of privacy and the closeness of a unit in court-yard housing, however tenants were insusceptible to privacy invasion and recognized the openness of a unit. People showed high expectation and gratification about the street-scope and shops in neighborhood community streets as an important social space for interactions. Consequently, it was confirmed that huge differences between perception and satisfaction of court-yard housing existed. It was inferred that the amenities in court-yard housing wasn't necessarily sufficient amid the familiar circumstances of flats and towers. Negative opinions were being unconsciously reproduced by these social atmospheres that a house was considered more of an economic tool rather than a living space for both consumer and supplier. As a result of this study, the possibility of applying urban block housing or courtyard housing would be easier than before. Various sizes of housing blocks and styles of housing buildings strongly interacting with neighborhood community streets play a pivotal role in rehabilitating the public function of resident areas while vitalizing the community in its respective regions.
