인천 숭의동 영단주택의 주거공간구성 변화에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study examines the spatial characteristics and changes in spatial compositions of Yeong-dan houses, particularly at Sungui-dong areas in Incheon. The historical significance of the houses is that they are housing prototypes in the course of shifts from traditional residences to new housing styles in Incheon. Reviewing the existing literatures and documents with regard to the Yeong-dan houses, it first discusses the background of the establishment of the houses. Then, it investigates the typical configurations, spatial elements and prototypes of the houses. For a detailed analysis of changes and spatial transformations of the houses, the field survey is performed to collect research materials of the houses and to analyze the specifics of the changes of the houses. During this process, most of the plans of the houses are redrawn for a further analysis. The results of the field survey illustrates that most of the plans of the houses have not been maintained as they first built. Some of them at present remain knackered and abandoned. It may be due to considerable economic growth and rapid modernization and urbanization of cities. Therefore, it is necessary to record the present of Yeong-dan houses before the mass demolition, and then to analyze the aspects of the changes. The research will become a basic document towards the preservation of historical resources of the city.
