1 According to the research done by Park Hoon (2006), meaning of living environment means comprehensive understanding of parking environment, sunshine, and privacy in residential areas. In case of areas that contain historic meaning and natural town, one can often see poor residential environment compared to the new city, and one can find this reason that the existing urban infrastructure is not reflecting needs of structures and residents. In addition, main causes of commercialization in residential regions are because of undermining the living environment where commercial facilities located primarily on the side of the road involves into the residential areas. Such phenomena appear frequently in urban residential areas and various researches are done in order to improve these kinds of problems. Journal of Korea Architecture Institute, 200602
