Eleven residents in integrated cohousings located in an urban area of Korea were extensively interviewed and a field survey was conducted in order to do the research. Research data was collected from Aug, 25th to Nov, 11th, 2015. The full interview was recorded and typed, dividing the survey by item and then the key words were arranged by concept, low-order category and high-order category. All the data was then analyzed. The following are the conclusions and promotion of cohousing development based on the results of this study. Urban cohousing guarantees residential stability making it possible to own the houses. The building process of cohousing, requires an appropriated leading coordinator company to facilitate good communication among residents, and between the residents and the developer.
