Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aims to explore the evolution of mental health housing policies and spatial characteristics for individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities (IWPDs) in South Korea. This study utilised qualitative methods, including literature review and case analysis, to investigate changes of housing policies and spatial characteristics of residential facilities and independent housing for IWPDs in South Korea. The findings indicate that current housing services limit privacy, autonomy for IWPDs and have regional differences in resource allocation. Based on the circumstance of less radical deinstitutionalisation, the Korean mental health housing policy needs a gradual approach addressing regional disparities and enhancing the residential conditions.
