본 연구는 삶의 질에 관한 관점을 우리 나라 도시저소득층의 주거실태를 중심으로 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 바탕으로 주거빈곤층의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 발전대안을 모색하도록 한다. 국내외 거의 모든 ‘삶의 질’선행연구에 있어 중요한 지표로서‘주택’,‘주거환경’,‘주거장소’등 주거에 관한 상이 포함되어 있다. 즉 삶의 질 연구에 있어 주택 및 주거환경은 가장 기본적이고 필수적 요소임을 확인할 수 있다. 주거빈곤을 기능적 측면, 경제적 측면, 최저주거기준 측면, 그리고 주거권 측면에서 분석하고, 한국의 주거빈곤실태를 파악하였다. 특히 서울을 비롯한 대도시의 주거빈곤층은 달동네.산동네라 불리는 불량주거지, 비닐하우스, 쪽방 등에 거주하며, 이들은 주로 주택점유 형태상 전세, 보증부월세, 월세 등의 임차가구의 대부분을 차지한다. 삶의 질과 주거환경개선을 위한 발전대안 모색을 위해 주거분야 ‘삶의 질 지표’를 제안하였다. 지표의 내용으로 주택 그 자체뿐 아니라 주거기능이 원활하도록 하는 공공서비스, 안전 등의 광의적 접근이 필요함을 강조하였다. 아울러 삶의 질에 관련된 정책과제를 해결하기 위해서는 적어도 네 가지 부문(정부, 민간부문, NGO/CBO, 주민)별 각자의 역할을 강조하였다.

The objective of this study was to examine the association between personal, housing, program, and service characteristics and quality of life among persons with severe mental illness living in supported housing. A cross sectional survey of a random sample of 237 clients residing in supported housing in Philadelphia was used to assess the association between personal and environmental characteristics, and quality of life. Data were collected from structured interviews, administrative data, the 2000 U.S. Census data file and the Philadelphia police crime database. Multiple regression analyses were used to identify personal and environment characteristics that are associated with quality of life. Clients with diagnoses of schizophrenia, those with lower levels of psychiatric symptoms, those with higher levels of physical health status, and those with higher levels of perceived supportiveness with staff had higher levels of quality of life. Findings of this study suggested that clients' clinical characteristics and consumer staff relationships can be important variables for understanding quality of life among supported housing residents. Factors associated with quality of life identified in this study may help service providers design and plan services to promote quality of life and stable independent living in the community of supported housing residents.

Currently, the housing supply rate exceeds 100%, and the penetration rate continues to increase. This housing supply rate is changing from quantitative supply-oriented to improving the quality of the residential environment in housing service policies. Despite the increase in the housing supply rate, practical access to the vulnerable class is still difficult and there are many areas that are insufficient to use housing services when necessary. In addition, the demand for residential services is increasing due to the expansion of the scope of the vulnerable class. In order to compensate for these problems, facilities and joint occupancy that cannot guarantee independent living are mainly established, although a supply plan is established for the vulnerable by expanding policies and support projects. This paper proposes an IoT environment-based housing support system for vulnerable groups to support housing services for vulnerable groups. The proposal system improves the quality of the residential environment and provides service-oriented support services. Through the proposal system, appropriate social participation opportunities can be provided by improving the quality of life of the vulnerable and supporting a residential environment where independent living is possible.

The results show that the lower the satisfaction level of housing policy, the lower the quality of life in the employment field and the lower the quality of residential field. On the other hand, permanent workers and self-employed respondents have experienced improvement in residential quality during the pandemic. A limitation of this study is associated with disentangling the causal relationship using the 'black box' characteristics of ANN method.

Developed countries have developed indicators of quality of life and are using them as indicators of policy decisions, and Korea is also developing and operating indicators of people's quality of life. One of them is a lifestyle-oriented SOC, a policy that aims to improve the quality of life of the people by improving living infrastructure. This study aims to focus on subjective happiness among people's quality of life. The elderly are a relatively marginalized class in the national policy, and this study aims to analyze the effects of the elderly's residential environment on quality of life, housing satisfaction, and happiness.

This study is to organize the frame of measuring inventory for housing quality related to mental health in foreign literature reviews. In the first step, many housing quality contents or items are extracted from empirical studies, including housing environment quality and mental health. In the next step, extracted contents and items are classified by space scope (house and neighborhood unit) and WHO housing properties (safety & security, health & sanitation, efficiency/convenience, comfort/amenity). Almost all housing properties follow the WHO standard, but some properties, sustainability and economic characteristics, do not follow the standard. These reflect on current Korean housing environment. They are energy saving and environment friendly effort, property value and economic burden, identity expression, and school district. So they need to be added to the Korean housing quality measurement related to mental health.
