열악한 주거환경에서 청년의 결핍된 삶과 위기 경험: 지하방, 옥탑방, 고시원 거주 청년을 중심으로

This study focused on the experiences of young people living in basements, rooftop rooms, and gosiwons, which represent poor living environments. Based on this, the purpose is to suggest an approach to effectively solve the poor housing problem of young people by taking an in-depth approach to the meaning of home formed by poor residential environments, life in vulnerable housing, and crisis experiences. As a result of in-depth interviews with young people who have lived or are currently living in basement rooms, rooftop rooms, and gosiwons, home was a temporary place for young people, and the poor living environment was the price they had to pay to achieve their dreams, but it was a proof of survival that they survived and lived hard. In particular, the risk of poor housing environments was aggravated in crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic and torrential rain, but the driving force in overcoming this situation was community values and solidarity, not housing support policies. Accordingly, it is necessary to supplement the contents of the housing survey to accurately understand the current situation of young people who are threatened in poor spaces, and to shift from a policy centered on loan support to reducing the burden of housing costs for happy housing and youth-safe housing, and expanding support targets. In addition, we propose expanding the scope of the youth housing support policy and forming a citizen participation monitoring group that can monitor and check the implementation of the youth housing support policy. Lastly, we propose building an online platform where young people can share their poor housing experiences and seek alternatives based on community values.

공공임대주택 거주자의 주거만족도 영향요인 연구 - 서울시 행복주택을 중심으로

This study aims to comparatively analyze the influencing factors of residents’ housing satisfaction of public rental housing types in Seoul, focusing on Happy Housing, and provide policy implications. The analysis methods were t-test and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS program. Based on the result of the analysis, we find that the more satisfied the residents of Happy Housing are with their living environment (convenience of public transportation, amenities, access to public facilities, etc.), the lower the burden of economic characteristics such as security deposit or monthly rent, the higher their housing satisfaction. Residents of Happy Housing were more satisfied with their housing when the number of household members was smaller and the duration of residency was longer. However, the internal condition of the house (housing performance, interior quality, facility condition, etc.) and external condition (recreation/green space, parking/community facilities, facilities for the disabled/elderly, etc.) were not statistically significant. Based on these research findings, policy implications were recommended to improve the housing satisfaction of residents of public rental housing.

Peran Dinas Sosial Dalam Peningkatan Kesejahteraan Lansia Terlantar di Kota Tanjungpinang

Demographic changes in Indonesia indicate a significant increase in the elderly population each year, leading to the emergence of various social issues such as poverty, violent behavior, neglect, and the elderly's dependence on others. Fulfilling the daily needs of the elderly is a crucial step in enhancing their well-being, with the family playing a central role in providing support. Elderly individuals undergo significant physical, psychological, and social changes as they age, increasing their need for a place of refuge and love, particularly from their families. Therefore, this research aims to explore the role of the Social Services Department in improving the welfare of neglected elderly individuals in Tanjungpinang. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data is gathered through interviews and documentation. Interview results are guided by interview protocols. This study identifies a range of factors that lead to elderly neglect before their admission to the Happy House Embung Fatimah, managed by the Tanjungpinang City Social Services Department. These factors encompass family issues, economic challenges, social environment concerns, and health problems. The Happy House Embung Fatimah serves as a specialized institution dedicated to caring for elderly individuals without family support. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into efforts to enhance the well-being of neglected elderly individuals and the role of the Social Services Department in this context

Housing satisfaction and improvement demand considering housing lifestyles of young residents in public rental housing

ABSTRACT The supply of public rental housing for young households has been on the rise in South Korea. Their size and composition vary depending on residents’ characteristics. However, even within similar groups, housing satisfaction may differ according to their lifestyle; hence, diversity may exist in the demand for housing improvement. This study identified housing satisfaction and improvement demands according to housing lifestyles of young residents of “Happy House”, a representative public rental housing for young households. The method used in this study was an online survey targeting individuals younger than 39 years and living in Happy Houses. A total of 536 responses were collected, and the respondents were divided into five housing lifestyle clusters despite being from similar groups. Depending on the lifestyle, differences existed in the satisfaction of space composition and size and basic options, such as facilities/furniture/home appliances. In addition, there were also differences in the demand for housing improvements. The group actively using housing for leisure, cultural activities, and social exchanges showed high demands for improvement, such as space composition and basic options. This study can be used as a reference for establishing a housing improvement plan for customizable public rental housing, considering the lifestyles of young adults.

청년1인가구의 공공임대주택에 대한 공간개선요구

The supply of an Happy House, a representative public rental housing for young adults, is continuously increasing. As the supply of the Happy House requires the most budget among housing policies for young adults, it is necessary to check whether Happy Housing is suitable for young households, the main beneficiary. Therefore, in this study, a post-occupancy evaluation was conducted targeting young single-person households living in the Happy Houses across the country to identify the demands for housing improvement. The method of this study was an online survey, and a total of 328 responses were collected and analyzed. As a result of the study, the overall improvement demand was slightly above average, and the improvement request for basic installation options such as home appliances, furniture, and facilities was the highest, and the housing area improvement request was similarly high. In the basic installation options, kitchen appliances had the highest demand, and air conditioner installation was also high for each room. The area expansion was mainly in demand for small bedrooms and kitchen/dining rooms. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the preparation of space improvement plans for the Happy House and the establishment of other types of public rental housing supply plans tailored to the young generation.

School-based universal mental health promotion intervention for adolescents in Vietnam: Two-arm, parallel, controlled trial.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Happy House, a universal school-based programme, in reducing adolescents' depressive symptoms and improving their mental well-being, coping self-efficacy and school connectedness. This was a school-based, two-arm parallel controlled trial. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Data were collected at recruitment, and at 2 weeks and 6 months post-intervention. Mixed-effect models were conducted to estimate the effects of the intervention on the outcomes. A total of 1,084 students were recruited. At 2 weeks post-intervention, the effect size on depressive symptoms was 0.11 (p=0.011) and the odds of having clinically significant depressive symptoms were lower in the intervention compared to the control (0.56, p=0.027). Both of these were no longer significant at 6 months post-intervention. Psychological well-being mean scores in the intervention were significantly higher than in the control at 2 weeks post-intervention (effect size 0.13). Coping self-efficacy mean scores were significantly higher in the intervention group at both 2-week and 6-month post-intervention (effect sizes from 0.17 to 0.26). Data support the potential of Happy House to reduce the prevalence of adolescent mental health problems and to promote positive mental health in the school context in Vietnam.

Style of life and dwelling

The 14th Dalai Lama Lhamo Dondrub said that one can achieve happiness in two ways. The first way is external. By acquiring a better dwelling, better clothes, nicer friends, we can achieve happiness and satisfaction to a greater or lesser extent. The second way is the way of spiritual development...
 But for the architect, spiritual development is inextricably linked to the dwelling, its arrangement and appearance. Probably, only the place where one is happy can be called home. At home even the walls help, my home is my fortress, there is no place like home... The dwelling that a person calls home reflects and preserves his or her image and style of life.
 Interior painting is an ancient and everlasting way to make a dwelling cosier, friendlier and closer, that is to make it a home. Especially in the case of mass housing, when the houses are initially standard and impersonal. Builders can provide people with square meters of housing, but the houses are often seriously transformed by landlords after their occupancy. How should we deal with these processes? Alejandro Aravena’s projects welcome the self-activity of tenants. Are the standard designs which are now replicated in mass construction ready for this?Our view on a happy house is supplemented by comparing standard housing with unique projects of talented architects (the article about the manor designed by Totan Kuzembaev). Comparing traditions and customs of different and distant cultures helps to see the complex nature of a happy house. It includes not only walls and furniture but also methods of protection against climate extremes, the music playing in the house and the role that the ancient element of fire plays in the house.Not humant hills that oppress the individual, but Houses – stable, worthy of a long life span of generations, and renewable. Like in our favourite books by the Strugatsky brothers, where the most diverse people, regardless of age, education or worldview, find their own, intimate thoughts, we want everyone in our cities to find a place to live and fulfil themselves, a place to be happy.

공공임대주택 입주의사결정은 주변 주거환경과 관련이 있는가?

Happy housing to promote housing stability for young people has recently faced the problem of a surge in long-term public prices. Given that happy housing is a residential welfare program in which large-scale government finances are administered, it is an important issue that the number of homes that have been vacant for a long time is increasing significantly. There are various causes for Gong-ga. This study analyzed the relationship between the residential environment in terms of location and the occurrence of public housing using GIS. According to the calculation of the integrated location accessibility index by geographical analysis of 4 places with 20% or more and 5% of the total number of houses, the location of happy housing complexes in Uijeongbu, Gimpo, and Dangjin in Gyeonggi Province was relatively poor. Based on these results, this study argued that it is necessary to closely examine the analysis of the residential environment using accurate geographic information data when establishing a future public rental housing supply plan.

공공주택 공급 관련 법제에 관한 연구

Public housing refers to housing that is built, purchased, or leased and supplied by a public housing business entity under the Special Act on Public Housing with financial support from the State or local governments or the Housing and Urban Fund. Public housing can be broadly divided into public rental housing and public sale housing. Public rental housing is divided into eight types: permanent rental housing, national rental housing, happy housing, and etc.. In addition, so-called public-private self-owned housing was introduced in 2021. Korea's public rental housing system has changed according to the policy regimes of governments on public rental housing, and with these changes, new types of public rental housing have been introduced and the supply of certain types of public rental housing has increased or decreased. And there were also changes in the name and legal basis of public rental housing. The integrated public rental housing type was introduced in 2020 to unify the various types of public rental housing and simplify the occupancy qualifications. Follow-up measures are needed for the establishment of the integrated public rental housing type. Meanwhile, there are doubts about the effectiveness of so-called public-private self-owned housing, such as accumulated equity housing unit for sale and profit-sharing housing unit for sale, introduced in 2021. And until now, public housing was supplied by the State and LH Corporation, but now there is an opinion that the social housing supplied by local governments and social economy entities should be revitalized. However, due to the nature of social housing, social economy entities will experience financial difficulties just like LH Corporation, and these difficulties will eventually be resolved only with the support of the State or local governments. However, such support for social economic entities would be a burden to the State or local governments, and therefore, social consensus on such support should be preceded. In addition, social conflicts are occurring due to the supply of public housing, and social mix policies are being attempted to solve this problem, but another type of social conflict is occurring as a result. Ultimately, social conflicts caused by public housing can only be resolved when there is a social consensus on the overall public housing policy.

Adaptation of a school-based mental health program for adolescents in Vietnam.

Cultural adaptation of a school-based mental health intervention developed in a high-income country is a cost-effective method to address the mental health needs of adolescents in resource-constrained settings. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the Resourceful Adolescent Program for Adolescents (RAP-A) for adolescents attending high school in Vietnam. The translation and adaptation were conducted using a five-step process including (1) initial stakeholder consultation, (2) forward translation, (3) backward translation, (4) adaptation, and (5) finalising the adapted version. An adaptation panel was established, including the RAP-A authors and mental health and public health experts from Australia, and psychology and public health experts from Vietnam. The panel collaborated closely with a group of stakeholders, including bilingual psychologists and psychiatrists, high school (grades 10-12) students and teachers throughout the adaptation process. The adapted version of RAP-A was named 'Happy House'. Happy House was adapted to be delivered in larger groups and in longer sessions than the RAP-A. The 11 sessions in RAP-A were restructured to 6 sessions in Happy House. Major changes were not required for any of the materials. However, some content, illustrations and videos were adapted to be more feasible for the school context and to enhance the comprehensibility, acceptability and appropriateness. Happy House has great potential to be relevant, comprehensible and acceptable for Vietnamese adolescents. Further research is warranted to examine the relevance, comprehensibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of this program on adolescents' mental health before advocating for scaling up program delivery in high schools throughout Vietnam.

한국 주거단위세대의 가변성 : 행복주택의 평형별 사례를 중심으로

Purpose: Public housing in Korea felt the need for floor plan modification, but it is not actively used even now. However, due to a complete change in the current lifestyle, Variable housing has become mandatory, and it is time for a plane to accept social phenomena. This study analyzed overseas cases with variability applied. We would like to propose a representative variable type by applying the theory to happy housing. Method: This work first identifies the history and type of housing variability through theoretical considerations related to the variability of housing. Next, the first study to present residential variability, Support system, was selected and considered. Through this, we investigate and analyze the variable cases of Support system applied to European public housing. Finally, the support system was applied to the floor plan of each type of happy house in Korea, and the representative variable type of happy house was proposed. Result: Neither of the planes of each type of happy house showed any change in location between beta sectors due to Korea

University Students’ Needs for Community Facilities and Current Status of Happy Housing Community Facilities in Jeollabuk-Do

In order to propose a desirable community facility plan for happy houses located in provincial city, the university students in Jeollabuk-do were surveyed on the community activity programs and types of facilities desired by young people. And the status of community facilities in happy houses was analyzed. According to the survey, they were interested in self-improvement and exchange with neighbors, sharing goods, parenting and family-oriented activities. Based on the results, community facilities for happy housing may be proposed as follows : Fitness centers, coin laundries, and senior citizen centers should provide independent space. If necessary, it is necessary to plan a multi-purpose room for use as an exercise space, or a multi-purpose room with water drainage and soundproofing facilities for meetings, cultural lectures, paintings, and cooking activities. Therefore, multi-purpose rooms provide one or two depending on the number of households and operate efficiently to cover the costs. It is worth considering taking care of children or putting the functions of children"s playrooms and study rooms into the community cafe until late hours. Daycare centers, etc. need to be supplied in batches in neighbouring complexes or local units. Also, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of residents, regional characteristics, etc.

행복주택이 인근 비아파트 임대료에 미치는 영향

행복주택은 대학생, 신혼부부, 사회초년생 등 젊은 층의 주거안정을 위해 공급되는 공공임대주택이다. 공공임대주택 제도는 주거안정이란 필요성에도 불구하고 부정적 인식으로 인해 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 원활한 공급과 정부대응을 위해서는 행복주택이 주변 주택시장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인이 필요하다. 현재까지 공공임대주택의 공급 효과에 관한 연구는 주로 아파트를 대상으로 논의되어왔다. 하지만 본 연구는 비아파트의 임대료를 알아본다는 차원에서 차별성을 둘 수 있고 행복주택의 영향권 내 아파트 외 유형의 가격 변화를 분석하는 것 또한 의의가 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서의 설정한 최대거리 권역은 행복주택을 중심으로 반경 1.6km이다. 이는 반경 1.6km를 초과하게 되면 주택의 비아파트 주택간 이질성으로 인해 추정결과가 왜곡될 수 있으며, 최대거리 권역 내 비아파트 주택들의 가격추세는 동일하다고 간주하기 위함이다. 이 후 분석은 행복주택과의 거리를 기준으로 인접권역내지역과 인접권역외지역으로 분리하여 각 그룹의 임대료를 행복주택 공급 전후로 비교하게 된다.

A Study on the Gender Cognitive Analysis and Improvement of Happy Housing Projects

행복주택 평면의 변형에 관한 연구: N.J. HABRAKEN의 주거대 시스템 이론을 중심으로

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to recognized the limitations that the current floor plan of a happy house was insufficient to accommodate the needs of residents. To solve this problem, it is meaningful to suggest the plan improvement directions of happy house by using the housing zone system of N.J. HABRAKEN, the pioneer of public rental house, about the type of happy house. Method: The order of this study is first, identified the current limitations of happy house by analyzing the satisfaction of young people’s public rental house. For this purpose, prior studies have been analyzed. Next, the N.J. HABRAKEN residential system, a pioneer of public rental house in Europe, was analyzed. To this end, the theoretical background and definitions of the residential system were organized. Finally, by applying the system of N.J. HABRAKEN to the plans of each type of happy house, we would like to suggest a plan to supplement the problems of the current happy house’s plan. The four representative planes of each type of happy house in Seoul, 16m², 26m², 36m², 44m², was selected which has the highest competitive for subscription and the policy was put into effect first since the scope of this study is limited to the inability to analyze all happy houses. Result: We applied the theory of residential systems to a plan of 16m², 26m², 36m², 44m². As a result, it is believed that the limits of the current plan can be improve. (16m² is difficult to provide the possibility of change due to the limitations of the area.) Furthermore, it is also believed that it will be able to provide a floor plan to realize the needs of each resident. by creating variable potential that is deficient in existing plan. In spite of a limit to the difficulty of transformation of kitchen and toilet due to Dutch architecture with dry construction method and Korean architecture with wet construction method, improvements can be made in a way that allows up to six plan’s variations compared to the existing ones by applying dry construction to other spaces.<BR>

In this study, the researcher surveyed and analyzed the current use of the Gyeonggido type Happy House Community Facilities and the preference to such facilities by the residents. Based on the findings of this study, the researcher intends to establish the community facilities according to the demands among the residents, along with a plan to invigorate the local community as a base for local welfare programs and restoration of sense of community. The survey for this study was conducted with 133 participants from the classes in needs of housing aids (newlyweds or Childcare Families) in 204 households in the Suwon Gwanggyo Housing Complex, which is a public rental housing complex. The analysis of the data of this study was conducted using SPSS 23.0, using analytical methods such as the frequency analysis and MDS, etc. As a results, the community facility of the apartment complex had a small effect when the residents made their choices of their apartments. And, as the community facility was closer, it was more likely that the residents used such a facility. However, they were found not able to use the facilities sufficiently due to the insufficient time to use them. As well as, the result of the positioning analysis after identifying the proximity and correlation between the community facilities within an apartment complex, the resident community facilities and the cooperatives facilities turned out to be in the proximal link ranges, along with the facilities for the shared basic life support and leisure facilities such as the fitness center, storage, and laundromats. The implication of this study is that, when a community facility is planned, the size of the facilities, the characteristics of the possible customers, the management methods, and the level of openness to the local residents must be planned in advance.
