Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out the preferences in HMUBs for living space in respondents' later life. For this purpose, this research was conducted by social survey research using a questionnaire for those who lived in an urban area around Seoul. The data was collected from November to December, 2005. The results of this research were as follows. Firstly, respondents agreed with living in high rise mixed use buildings in their later life because of convenience. Willingness to move into HMUBs was positive. Concerning preferred physical features, residents preferred living in either lower floors or higher floors because of safety or fine views. Regarding the usage of common space and facilities, they wanted to use them with other generations and preferred 2 bedroom type unit located in a suburban area. Secondly, the preference for living in a HMUB in later life was higher in women respondents than in men. Thirdly, the preference for living in a HMUB in later life was higher in upper floors than lower floors according to property and asset value. As a conclusion, the development of HMUB housing for older people has a bright prospect for urban residents in Korea.
