Abstract

The Korea Petroleum Group Housing in Yaeum-dong, Ulsan, built in 1966, is the city's oldest remaining company housing. Ulsan experienced rapid industrialization after being designated as a Korean industrial center in 1962. To accommodate the growing population of factory workers, various residential quarters were developed, including company housing, public housing, land readjustment projects, and housing for those displaced by industrial developments. Company housing is a distinctive feature of Ulsan, divided into housing for foreign engineers and housing for Korean employees. The Korea Petroleum Group Housing primarily served Korean managers and executives. Unlike housing for foreign engineers, it lacks boundaries and community facilities, following the standard design of 1960s public housing. This makes it a representation of Ulsan's original company housing for Koreans, built prior to the completion of urban planning. Furthermore, it's a significant urban heritage within Ulsan's industrial landscape, reflecting the city's industrial urbanization process. Its relatively well-preserved state is noteworthy, considering the removal of most company housing structures.
