재건축 안전진단 주거환경평가의 객관성 제고 방안 연구

Recently, major reconstruction complexes are accelerating their project progress as they have passed the long-awaited safety inspections due to the government's deregulation. As the ‘safety inspections’ regulation, which was an obstacle to the promotion of reconstruction projects, has been relaxed, more and more complexes are taking advantage of this opportunity to participate in reconstruction.
 The government came up with a plan to rationalize the safety inspections because the number of complexes that passed the safety inspections based on strict evaluation criteria decreased rapidly, reducing the supply of quality housing in the city center and deteriorating the residential environment. In particular, even if there are no serious problems with structural safety, reconstruction can be promoted in complexes with poor living conditions, such as insufficient parking spaces or excessive noise between floors.
 However, in order to improve the objectivity of the recently announced government reconstruction rationalization plan, the detailed fact-finding survey and quantitative evaluation items should be supplemented in the 'residential environment evaluation', in which the weight distribution was raised from 15% to 30%. In the case of conditional reconstruction through this, it is expected that there will be no room for controversy in the future.
 Based on this, 'revitalization of the reconstruction project' is expected, and at the same time, the government needs to strengthen education and consulting and conduct a fact-finding inspection to prevent indiscriminate safety inspections under the responsibility of private companies. In particular, it is expected that it will help private organizations improve their technical skills and reduce insolvency diagnoses through explanation of reconstruction safety inspection manuals and education that spreads cases of poor diagnosis for items with a high proportion of subjective evaluation items such as residential environment evaluation.

Examining the correlation between residential environment evaluation and redesign measures to improve disaster prevention performance in densely built-up areas: A case study in the Shinyo neighborhood, Nagata Ward, Kobe

There are many densely built-up areas in Japan that face danger from environmental disasters and need disaster prevention measures. However, streets in these areas provide a common space for activities such as socializing and increase the social comfort of living. Therefore, in addition to disaster prevention, such positive aspects should be retained when redesigning these areas. This study aimed to construct evaluation models of residential environments unique to densely built-up areas by using a questionnaire survey and to clarify the influence of redesign measures for improving disaster prevention performance on residential environment evaluation. The analysis results indicated that some disaster prevention measures have a trade-off relationship with many positive evaluation items of residential environments unique to densely built-up areas, although there is no trade-off relationship between disaster prevention measures and most evaluation items of a typical residential environment. Thus, it is necessary to develop redesign models that considers not only improving disaster prevention performance, but also an area's unique spatial characteristics.

Residential Environmental Suitability Evaluation on the Area Packed with Independently Located Factories - Focused on Sawol Community, Incheon, Korea -

The individual location of the factory was accelerated by deregulates building regulations and simplifies environmental impact assessment procedures to facilitate the expansion of factories in non-urban areas such as natural green areas. As a result, non-urban areas such as natural green areas continued to increase the location of avoiding facilities such as factories, and the deterioration of the residential environment was accelerated by chemicals, noise, and odors emitted from these facilities. The existing residential environment evaluation study focused on expanding facilities and infrastructure maintenance projects such as the HEMI so the evaluation framework for residents’ health and safety of environmental avoidance facilities is insufficient. In this study, the RERI model was developed by accepting climate change risk assessment models such as IPCC, and the residential environment suitability was evaluated by the residential environment risk as a receptor.

The Evaluation of the Purchase Social Housing on the Characteristics of Location and Housing in Busan

본 연구는 매입임대주택 거주민의 주거환경 평가를 통해 매입임대주택 거주자의 주거환경 만족도 결정요인을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 매입임대 주택은 현재 거주하는 지역사회에 지속적으로 생활이 가능하여 저소득층의 사회적 격리 현상과 슬럼화 방지 등의 사회적 배제현상이 적은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 주택의 매입기준이 주거환경을 충분히 고려하지 못하는 문제점이 제기되고 있어 매입임대주택 주거환경에 대한 전반적인 평가가 필요하다. 우선, 매입임대주택 거주자의 주거환경 평가를 위해 주거환경 특성, 주거비 특성, 가구주 특성 등으로 구성하여 살펴보았으며 이를 바탕으로 매입임대주택 주거환경 만족도 결정요인을 주택입지 특성, 주택 내 외부 특성 등으로 각각 나누어 살펴보았다. 주거입지에 따른 주거만족도에 영향을 미치는 변수는 공공시설, 교육시설, 복지시설 등으로 나타났다. 특히, 복지시설 접근성의 만족도가 높을수록 매입임대 주택의 주택입지 만족도가 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다. 주택 내 외부 특성에 따른 주거만족도에 영향을 미치는 변수는 창호상태, 균열, 난방설비, 주택규모 그리고 주택관리 등에서 유의한 것으로 나타났다. This study aims to analysis of determinants of the residents satisfaction of purchased rental housing and currently being implemented policy of supporting low-income families are empirically evaluated through the residential evaluation of purchased rental housing residents. Purchased rental housing users are possible to live in currently residing community consistently, have advantages for fewer problems of the phenomenon of social isolation, exclusion and preventing slumism of low-income families, are expected to increase in the future. First of all, the characteristics of residential environment, housing expenses and a head of household were examined for the residential environment evaluation of the residents of purchased rental housing, on the basis of this, the characteristics of internal and external house and residential location are examined each for the determinants of the residential environment satisfaction of purchased rental housing. The variables that affect residential satisfaction according to residential location are public facilities, educational facilities and welfare facilities respectively. In particular, the higher the satisfaction of access to welfare facilities, the higher the satisfaction of residential location of purchased rental housing was analyzed. The variables affecting the residential satisfaction according to the internal and external characteristics of house are significant in window status, cracking, heating facilities, housing scale and management.

초고층 건축물 거주환경성능 평가지표에 관한 연구

과밀 도심의 주거공간 확보 해결책으로 2000년 초부터 도심지내 토지의 효율적 이용을 위한 초고층 건축물의 건설이 급격히 증가하고 있으며, 새로운 주거유형의 하나로 자리매김해 나가고 있다. 도심 주거시설로써 초고층 건축물의 필요성은 과밀화 현상의 해결 효과와 함께 도시의 상징을 표현하는 랜드마크로서의 의미가 높다. 그러나 무분별한 초고층 건축물의 시공은 거주자의 생활환경을 보장해주지 못하며, 설계, 시설기준 등이 명확하게 규정되지 않는 한 위험요소를 항상 내포하고 있음을 간과해서는 안된다. 이제 초고층 건축물은 단순한 이미지와 상징성을 떠나 미래의 주거공간을 구성하는 도시의 새로운 대안으로서 도시와 건축의 유기적인 상호관계에서 다루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 초고층 건축물의 거주환경성능을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 AHP 분석을 통해 각 영역/범주별 평가항목 및 평가지표를 정립하고, 향후 초고층 건축물 계획시 거주환경성능 개선을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. More and more domestic skyscrapers have been rapidly constructed to get enough living space for people living in overcrowded cities. The purpose of skyscrapers is to provide citizens with useful facilities and to establish landmarks and also national and regional symbols. Previous studies have been conducted which focused on the structure, materials, plans, maintenance, and relevant information regarding skyscrapers. Skyscrapers, however, are different from other smaller buildings regarding the residential environment as well as in other ways. Recently, several problems have been raised in that the indiscreetness of current skyscrapers cannot guarantee residents a high quality living environment, and they might contain risks unless criteria are put forward to ensure that the design and facilities provide for this aim. It is judged that a set of performance criteria for the residential environment to ensurethe residents' quality of life could solve this problem. This study therefore aims to suggest a method for the improvement of the residential environment of skyscrapers by establishing residential environment evaluation factors. In conclusion, this study calculates the weight of each evaluation factor using AHP (an analytic hierarchy process) and suggests evaluating criteria. It is expected that this study could be used to propose guidelines for residents at the design and planning stage of building a skyscraper.

Campus Lifestyle and Its Relationship with Residential Environment Evaluation - A Case Study of Hangzhou City, China

abstractWith the rapid development of Chinese universities and colleges in the past few years, there has been a significant increase in the population of enrolled students accompanied by a big expansion of campus area. These changes have influenced and are influencing the campus residential environment and lifestyles. As a result, the issue of their relationships should call for more attention. Due to the differences in personal values and campus lifestyles, students′ demands on the residential environment show diversity. In the case study of Hangzhou City, China, viewpoints concerning personal attributes, residential preferences and campus conditions to represent the residential lifestyles on campus were introduced and analyzed. Six university campuses were selected as survey objectives in order to comprehensively demonstrate campus environment conditions in the city. Four patterns of campus residential lifestyle were classified by residential preferences; and their characteristics were compared through subjective evaluation and objective conditions. The results of this research provide the basic data for future work in the improvement of the Chinese campus environment. Furthermore, the methodology of characterizing residential lifestyles may bring about a new useful perspective for further research on the evaluation of residential environment.

Computer support system for residential environment evaluation for citizen participation

Though the method of citizen participation in urban planning is quite well established, for a specific segment of residential environment, however, existing participation system has not coped adequately with the issue. The specific residential environment has detailed aspects that need positive and high level involvement of the citizens in participating in all stages and every field of the plan. One of the best and systematic methods to obtain a more involved citizen is through a citizen workshop. To get a more "educated" citizen who participates in the workshop, a special session to inform the citizen on what was previously gathered through a survey was revealed to be prerequisite before the workshop. The computer support system is one of the best tools for this purpose. This paper describes the development of the computer support system for residential environment evaluation system, which is an essential tool to give more information to the citizens before their participation in public workshop. The significant contribution of this paper is the educational system framework involved in the workshop on the public participation system through computer support, especially for residential environment. The framework, development and application of the computer support system are described. The application of a workshop on the computer support system was commented on as very valuable and helpful by the audience as it resulted in greater benefit to have wider range of participation, and deeper level of citizen understanding.

Our method reduced the difference between the evaluation on statistics and the evaluation by informed residents.

居住環境評価からみた住民の価値意識

The purpose of this study is, first, to grasp inhabitants' value-orientation by examining their evaluation of the residential environment which surrounds them, and second, to inspect the variability or stability of the pattern of such value-orientation among districts. At the beginning of the study, to obtain data for the analysis, a questionnaire survey was conducted among housewives living in detached houses in two districts of Yokohama City: Higashi-Terao, Tsurumi Ward, and Hongodai, Sakae Ward (Fig. 1). The questions were intended to elicit satisfaction and significance ratings for 14 components of the residential environment. The questionnaires were distributed directly and collected by mail. The number of questionnaires returned was 246 in Higashi-Terao and 289 in Hongodai. Analyzing the data collected in this survey gave the following results. First, comparing the average ratings for each item (Fig. 2), the overall rating level in Hongodai was higher than that in Higashi-Terao. Especially in significance rating, which seems independent of concrete environmental conditions, resemblance of rating patterns was considerably high between the two districts. Second, before the analysis of value-orientation, to verify the appropriateness of regarding each of the two study areas as a region composed of homogeneous inhabitants, an inspection was made to see if the residential environment evaluation was influenced by the attributes of inhabitants. In practice, the x2 test for independence was carried out. No definite relationship was observed between satisfaction or significance ratings and inhabitants' attributes. Then, to acquire coordinates of stimulus (which indicate relationships among elements of the residential environment in the inhabitants' minds), multidimensional scaling (MDS) was performed for each district's data; quite similar results were obtained (Figs. 3 and 4). Especially in the analysis of significance rating data, resemblance was very high, and this seems to be for the same reason as in the previous analysis of evaluative pattern. In the next step, taking satisfaction with overall residential environment as a dependent variable and ratings for each item as independent variables, multiple regression analyses were conducted and “weights” which imply the contribution of each item to overall satisfaction were derived (Table 1). Results of analyses showed that the two districts' data had a considerable resemblance. In simple significance rating, the items with the highest scores were those which corresponded to what Maslow (1954) called “more basic needs”; “weights” derived from these analyses corresponded to “higher-level needs”. Based on the above mentioned results, the following conclusions could be derived about the inhabitants' value-orientation by analyzing their evaluation of the residential environment: concerning the value-orientation obtained by examining satisfaction rating data, the results of analysis in each district differ slightly because of the direct influence of objective environmental conditions on the evaluation; but regarding the value-orientation grasped from significance rating data, the resemblance between the two results is very high because of the absence of that influence. Therefore, with regard to the value-orientation of inhabitants acquired from significance rating data, the pattern of such value-orientation seems to be quite stable among regions.

Evaluation of the Accessibility to the Natural Environments in a Wider Urban Area

This study aims to evaluate the accessibility to the natural environments of residential environment evaluation in Utsunomiya City. For the purpose, the evaluation functions which use multiple regression analy-sis with residents'evacuation of accessibility as the criterion variable and the traveling time to the destinations as explanatory variables were developed using GIS.As the result, compared with the case which the air distance was used as explanatory variables, the coefficient of determination becomes more than two times. And this result shows that traveling time is an effective factor and GIS is useful tool for this kinds of study.

Real Time Delphi Method in Citizen Participation Conferences on Evaluation of Environmental Quality

The paper reports on the application of real time Delphi method to group social survey in the evaluation of residential environment -roadside areas with heavy traffic as a case.The performance of social survey methods is appraised with respect to those characteristics as representativity of samples, identifiability of the sampled people, stability of responses, accuracy in communicating the meaning of the questions, quickness of response and economy of execution. Subjectives' accessibility to objective facts and to other people's opinions are judged to be essential to secure the accurate communication and high stability of responses.A group survey method experimented here employed real time Delphi method where inquiries and answers were iterated along with the group's total opinion fedback to the participants. The effectiveness of this information exchange scheme process were examined in comparison with the results from personal interviews executed beforehand.In June 1981, four experimental conferences were held at the Evauation Laboratory of Man Environment Systems (ELMES) set up in NIES, with the aim of evaluating the environment of roadside areas. In those conferences, 17 to 24 citizens of Tuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture, selected randomly from the subjectives interviewed three months before, gave weights by rating method (the values vary from 0 to 100) to 7 items which represented characteristics of roadside areas' environment, such as noise, vibration, air pollution, dust, litter, pedestrian danger and difficulty in crossing the road. Electronic voting device, which accumulates the participants' votes immediately, indicated to them the average points scored by the group after every voting. This procedure were iterated three times with discussions among participants in between. After the weighting of indivisual items, participants are asked to assign grades in five steps to their nearby environment. This process were iterated twice with discussions in between.Conclusions conducted from those experimental conferences are as follows: 1) In examining the results from interview and conference, the scored values concerning the participants' nearby residential environment were not so stable. And the rating method was judged to be unstable for weighting in comparison to the pairwise rating method (the linear weighting method), based on large variation observed among participants' opinions. 2) Employment of real time Delphi in a group conferences leads to gradual stabilization of serial responses. 3) On the assumption that the comprehensive environmental evaluation of roadside areas were estimated by the linear combination form of the 7 items, the coincidence of the regression model with the participants' total evaluation on the environment were examined. The coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.949 estimated from the conference, in comparison to 0.753 from the personal interview, showed the effectiveness of real time Delphi method in evaluating the residential environment comprehensively.In addition to those results, discussions held in the conferences clearly showed the differences of the environmental perceptions among participants. And answers to the inquiries asked after the conferences indicated that the information exchange scheme employed to the conferences promoted participants' motivation to participate in this kind of group conferences.

Computer-Aided Conference for Comprehensive Evaluation of Residential Environment

A procedure for comprehensive evaluation of environmental quality by a conference of a residents' group is proposed and examined by a case study in relation to the environment of roadside areas. The procedure is characterized by conducting a computer-aided Delphi conference for choosing the weights of relative importance of evaluation items. The criterion for comprehensive evaluation is given in a linear combination of the values of individual evaluation items weighted by their relative importances. In the case study, which was conducted at the Tsukuba Science City, the evaluated values of individual items and their weights were obtained through a group survey and a Delphi conference, respectively. The results indicate the usefulness of the proposed procedure by conference for the comprehensive environmental evaluation.
