Abstract

Hanok is a building style in Korean traditional architecture that presently supports a specialty of urban scenery and residential environment for regeneration in Korea. However, it is difficult to review or evaluate for the performance of Hanok, and there is no definite standard that can be applied to it yet. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the evaluation system of the residential performance of Hanok, and its concept model of the habitability performance needs to be derived in order to develop an evaluation system for the residential performance of Hanok. For this study, its evaluation factors have been classified into three major aspects such as the architectural space, the village complex, and the sustainability. This study, then, has attempted to build an evaluation system composed of proven assessment items or factors and performed AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analyses with certified experts in the Hanok field and applied the relative importance among the evaluation items. Finally, this research has proposed an evaluation model of the habitability performance of Hanok. As a result of applying the assessment model for weighted habitability performances, the proposed evaluation system has been implemented as the inherent value of Hanok and its objectivity to be a major sustainable form of regeneration for contemporary residency in Korea.

Summary

Introduction

There has been a tendency toward the diffusion and activation of Hanok, a traditional Korean architectural style, as the atmosphere of society with a desire to satisfy cultural needs in Korea, and the overconcentration and high-rise of the city due to modernization, have led to a sudden shift in thought of habitation. Malay houses are mostly wooden buildings, and the high floor structures village complex the architectural has similarhouses concept to Hanok, thattype focuses onand the Kampong meansand a village too and it isspace composed of aseveral collectively with a mosque derived from the local environment generally have many advantages related to climate control, such habitability emphasizing relationship rather thanand personal common facilities such associal schools, playgrounds, shops so on life [5]. Nasir and Wan have insisted, in the book entitled The. Traditional Malay House, that the buildings in a Malayan village complex were built without physical boundaries to create an open atmosphere and are freely placed to increase the ventilation and air-circulation effects inside the buildings in the complex by staggering each physical house unit; this configuration is just like Hanok in aspects of the habitability of the traditional architecture.
