Abstract
This study outlines the housing consciousness and needs of single woman household. In order to analyze housing consciousness of single woman household, surveys were conducted with the questionnaire composed of housing consciousness, housing needs, socio-demographic and housing characteristics of single woman household who lived in Seoul, and other near metropolitan area such as Gyeonggi and Incheon. The result of the study shows that single woman household put importance on safety, privacy, and comfort of their indoor housing environment. For single woman households convenience in transportation and facilities for leisure time were one of the important conscious factors. Housing consciousness of single woman household can be categorized into mainly three groups: (i) indifferent to overall housing consciousness except for convenient services such as front desk service at the lobby and maid house keeping services; (ii) privacy conscious group - this was the majority; (iii) relatively active housing consciousness group. Each type had different preference factors when selecting a house. That is, each showed difference preferences when considering types, sizes and services as well as motives for choosing a house.
