Abstract

Residential noise in apartment has become a social problem, thus the government and the private sector are making efforts to resolve or minimize disputes by various attempts. Disputes due to noise between floors have lots of reasons, therefore an approach based on the event must be customized. This study aims to identify the reason, and to establish a solution optimized for the case from the survey. The survey was conducted to the residents in an apartment located in Seogu, Gwangju Metropolitan City. The reasons and solutions for the various residential environment problems such as floor impact noise were derived. As for the reasons, it was found that there was a sense of victimization while taking a break in a residential space, and most of them have chosen ‘being patient’, which announces the communication about the problem was insufficient. About 50% of the residents do not know the regulations and the systems on floor impact noise, it means that residents need to know how many kinds of solutions are there when they are faced with a particular situation. The survey result was appeared that the relationship between the intimacy with the neighbour who produces noise problem and the conflict was statistically significant, therefore this can be an important clue for developing a program to improve intimacy of residents.
