주거환경개선사업으로 인한 거주자들의 주거안정 변화: 공동주택건설방식을 중심으로

본 연구는 주거환경개선사업의 원주민 재정착보다 포괄적인 사업의 공공성 측면인 주거안정에 초점을 둔 것으로, 주거환경개선사업이 사업 전 후시점의 거주자(지구거주자, 재입주자, 신규입주자)의 주거안정에 어떠한 영향을 주었는지를 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 주거환경개선사업의 시행이전 지구, 시행완료된 준공지구에서 각각 다른 유형의 거주자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사항목은 주거환경개선사업에 대한 주민인식과 주거안정 관련한 개별주택 내부의 물리적 환경 측면, 주거비용측면, 개별주택의 외부 주거환경 측면을 조사하였다. 주요 연구결과를 보면, 첫째, 주거환경개선 사업으로 인해 입주자들은 보다 젊은 층, 고학력, 고소득계층으로 변화하지만 가구구성과 장애여부, 직업구성에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 둘째, 주거환경 개선사업이 주거안정에 미친 영향을 보면 지구거자는 향후 주택의 물리적 여건과 주거외부환경은 양호해지나 주거비용에 대한 부담을 많이 호소하였다. 재입주자의 경우 주택면적과 방수는 증가하여 물리적 여건은 양호해지고 주거비용측면에서 비용증가, 주거외부환경은 양호해지는 형태를 보였다. 신규입주자는 주택의 물리적 여건인 주택면적이나 방수의 변화는 차이가 없고 주거비용은 상승, 외부환경은 양호해지는 형태를 보였다. Residential Environment Improvement Project (REIP) which has started in 1989 and continued with 3rd government-supporting project in 2013 has lots of policy changes and related studies. However, the related researches have focused on residents resettlement into the project site, this paper is more interested in the residents stability than residents resettlement. So, this paper analyzes the changes of residents stability on the site of REIPs (with 3 groups of dwellers, removers and newcomers). We survey about understanding of those projects, each interior physical housing characters, housing cost, outside settlement characters. On the base of case analysis, we can conclude as follows: firstly, the residents are more young, higher educated, and higher income but not alter to household, barrier, occupation. Secondly, REIPs have some positive influences on physical conditions of housing and outside characters but negative impacts on housing cost. In case of newcomers, there are no changes of housing size and room numbers but higher housing cost, better outside settlement conditions.

주거환경개선을 위한 농촌주택 리모델링 성능평가지표 설정에 관한 연구

National Academy of Agricultural Science, RDAABSTRACT : Living environments in rural area have become deteriorated rapidly. Increase of aging population, decline in agricultural income, polarization of wealth in rural community due to rural returners have caused severe decline and imbalance of living environments in rural area. Responding to this circumstances, governments currently develop projects for improving living environments focusing on individual housing which were excluded from governmental supports because those had been regarded as private property. Nevertheless, there are still some gaps and problems in evaluating the quality of living environment and suggesting effective solutions. It would be because standards and guidelines of the projects have been based on urban housing system. In order to support the implementation of the projects, this research has developed an index for evaluating and monitoring the quality of living environments in rural area. By applying Delphi method, the index has been created in four categories of ‘security’, ‘convenience’, ‘comfortability’, and ‘durability’ ‘Security’ consists of structural safety, crime, disaster, accident prevention. ‘Convenience’ includes three divisions of living, traffic, farm working. ‘Comfortability’ is divided into sanitation, indoor environments, and aesthetic appreciation. Lastly, ‘durability’ has four divisions of energy conservation, environmental friendliness, efficiency, and economics. Each sub-division also has different items from three to twelves. In the case of an index for performance evaluation, items have been derived from energy conservation(6-items), and environmental friendliness(7-items). Items developed as an index for evaluating rural living environments in this research might be good background information for remodeling project in rural housing development. Key words : Remodeling in Rural Housing, Evaluation Index, Residential Environment Improvement

Evaluation of the natural suitability of human settlements environment in Jilin Province based on RS and GIS

Taking Jilin Province as the study area,this paper analyzed four natural living environment factors of terrain conditions,land cover conditions,climate conditions and hydrological conditions using models such as relief degree of land surface,vegetation cover index,comfort index( also called temperature and humidity index),and water resource index by GIS and RS technology. Then the weighted models of Human Environment Index were established to evaluate the natural suitability of human settlements of 43 counties in Jilin Province with an analysis of the grading evaluation. The authors made suggestions concerning the migration and improvement of residential environment in Jilin Province. The results show that the natural human environment suitability presents an obvious spatial differentiation pattern,the dry areas of western Jilin Province and Korean Autonomous County of Changbai in southeast Jilin Province belong to the unsuitable area; the central and western counties belong to the critical suitable area,which accounts for more than half of the whole province; the central and eastern counties belong to the generally suitable area; and Ji'an City belongs to the moderately suitable area.

Zhuhai

Zhuhai, located in the fast growing Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, is one of the earliest four Special Economic Zones in China for economic-reform experiments early in 1980. While many cities in the PRD region select rapid industrialisation as an engine of economic growth, Zhuhai is an exceptional one to suppress industrialisation to reserve its high quality city environment for sustainable development. This leads Zhuhai to be the 3rd China city recognised by the United Nations as the Best Model of International Residential Environment Improvement in 1998. Considering the potential development of Zhuhai, the National Development and Reform Commission of China has assigned Zhuhai as the centre of the western bank of the Pearl River estuary in a national urban development strategy for the next decade (2008–2020). With the construction of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge with a main span of 35km, Zhuhai is looking forward to the great business opportunities for the new geographical integration with Hong Kong (the world’s leading international financial centre) and Macao (the world’s No.1 gambling hub). Zhuhai will soon be the new focus of PRD in China and it is necessary for city planners to be familiar with the city. This paper will introduce the policies and characteristics of economic development in Zhuhai as one of the earliest four Special Economic Zones in China. The paper will also discuss the evolution of sustainable development in Zhuhai and the underlying reasons for Zhuhai’s unique development trajectory.

A Study on the Evaluation of the Residential Environment of the Permanent Rental Housing in Busan Using Stepwise Logistic Regression

본 연구는 부산지역 영구임대주택의 주거환경 수준 평가 분석을 목적으로 수행한다. 영구임대주택 정책은 무주택자, 특히 도시지역의 저소득 거주자들을 위한 특별한 방법 중 하나이다. 주거환경에는 그것을 구성하는 여러 요인이 있음에도 불구하고, 정부에서는 단지 물리적인 공간만을 제공하는 한계에 봉착했다. 그래서 영구임대주택의 불만족 등을 개선하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하고자, 부산도시공사에서 관리하는 영구임대주택 거주자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 영구임대주택 만족도에 월임대료, 관리비등의 관리적 특성들은 거의 영향을 미치지 못 하였고, 거실 방 등의 위치 및 화장실 시설, 통근거리, 조망권, 놀이터 등이 영향을 미쳤다. 주민생활 특성 중에는 청소상태, 고성방가 발생 정도, 주민들과의 친밀도, 방법시설 등이 유의하게 나타났다. 따라서 앞으로 정부는 최신 기술을 최대한 활용하여 영구임대주택 거주자의 편의를 도모하되, 경제적으로 부담이 되지 않을 수준으로 적용하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 인식해야 할 것이다.

부산의 주거정비사업 추진에 미치는 영향요인 분석

부산지역 내 주거정비사업들의 추진이 매우 부진한 실정이다. 도시 및 주거 정비 기본계획상 정비예정구역의 지정 시 사업추진을 고려하지 않은 채 예정구역을 지정함으로 발생된 문제로 인식된다. 본 연구에서는 부산의 입지적 요인들이 사업추진가능성에 영향을 미친다고 가정하여 영향요인변수를 위치적 조건, 지형적조건, 규모적 조건, 입지유형적 조건, 규제적 조건 등 5개의 조건으로 구분하고 12개의 항목을 선정하여 이들 요소들이 사업추진에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는 지를 규명하였다. 판별분석한 결과 재개발의 경우 사업추진에 크게 영향력을 미치는 변수로는 사업용적율, 정비유형, 면적이 대표적인 요인으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 재건축의 경우 사업추진에 미치는 영향력이 큰 변수로 사업용적율, 정비유형, 전면도로폭, 경사 등으로 분석되었다. Busan metropolitan city faced with very low completion rate of residential environment improvement projects. Main reason is to designate proposed residential environment improvement areas without careful analysis of the possibilities of the improvement project completion. This study aims to clarify and analyze the phase characteristics of residential environment improvement process by using 12 variables representing 5 locational characteristics such as place factors, topological factors, size factors, location condition factors and regulation factors. From results of the analysis, this study finds that business floor area ratio, improvement type and site size affect significantly the completion rate of residential redevelopment projects. However, business floor ratio, improvement type, width of frontage road and slope are significant variables to affect the completion rate of residential rebuilding projects.

Externality reductions in residential areas due to rail transit networks

This work adopts a continuum approximation method based on long-term planning to describe the continuous characteristics of air pollution dispersion, street and rail transit network flow as well as household distribution. The model of air pollution distribution in a metropolitan area with surface streets and rail transit networks is constructed by applying dispersion equations of air pollutants in the field of Physics. Variations in air pollution due to decreased car flows, which result from commuters' shifting to the newly completed rail transit system, are also analyzed. Benefits from the reduction of air pollution are estimated by accumulating all of the exposed households at each residential site. Finally, a case study demonstrates the model application and estimates the improvement of residential environment in the Taipei metropolitan area due to the rail transit system.
