Abstract

Among the various factors that shape housing, psychological factors are emerging along with physical factors. Accordingly, this study sought to examine residential environmental factors that influence the formation of place attachment in young single-person households living in the metropolitan area. For this purpose, survey items for place attachment and residential satisfaction were established through previous research, and a total of 265 copies were used in this study. The research results based on this are as follows. First, young single-person households generally think positively about their housing and tend to form attachments. However, due to the nature of single-person households, the difficulty in coping with emergency situations was the greatest, and along with economic difficulties, they felt greatly lonely. Second, as a result of the perception of young single-person households' residential satisfaction and place attachment measurement items, they positively perceive the narrow scope of their home and surrounding environment, but their sense of community, such as relationships between neighbors, community participation, and sense of belonging is low and quite lacking. Third, we looked at the residential environment factors that influence each place attachment component (place identity, place dependence, place fixation, and place emotion). Through this, it was found that young single-person households were influenced more by the various infrastructure facilities of the residential environment, abundant green space, and a convenient and clean environment for living, rather than by the condition or quality of the housing.
