Presently, there is no legal regulation pertaining to the installation, maintenance, management and operation of fire-fighting facilities in single housing in Korea, relying instead on the awareness of the residents which hopefully will prevent fire. Likewise, accident prevention effort is very limiting and weak. Accordingly, this research examines current situation in which fire results, identifies root causes and studies application of regulations and develop design measures centered on the single housing that is most afflicted with fire. As part of the measure to prevent fire that afflict housing, it is necessary to classify single housing as specific target for fire fighting just like the joint housing among the types of the building structures that are classified according to the usage on the "Appendix Chart I of the Enforcement Ordinance of the Construction Law" for management purpose. Moreover, it is necessary to make the installation of fire-fighting facilities such as simple sprinkler facility for residential area, fire extinguisher, warning system and others for the sake of the senior citizens and disabled people who reside in single housing, mandatory.

현재 우리나라는 인구의 도시집중과 주거용 건물의 부족으로 인하여 발생하는 주택부족문제는 현대산업사회에서 피할 수 없는 현상이 되고 있고, 1970년대 들어 대도시로의 인구집중과 함께 극심한 주택난을 겪게 되었다. 전국의 주택보급률은 국토교통부가 발간한 '2014년 국토교통통계연보'에 따르면103%(서울 97.5%, 경기 98.7%)에 이르러 주택의 공급측면에서 큰 문제가 없어 보이지만, 2014년 전국 자가 주택 거주율은 53.6%로 절반 정도의 가구가 타인 소유의 주택에서 임차인으로 거주하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 가장 큰 법률문제 중의 하나는 임차주택에서 임차인이 그 가족들과 모두 함께 안정된 생활을 하는 것이라고 볼 수 있는데 만약 임차인이 사망한 경우에 그동안 임차인과 함께 생활 해온 가족들이 종전과 마찬가지로 당해주택에서 주거를 계속할 수 있는가 하는 문제이다. 이에 대해 주택임대차보호법은 임차주택에서 가정공동생활을 하고 있는 자에게 임차인의 권리 및 의무를 승계하도록 인정하고 있다. 그러나 사망임차인과 동거해온 상속인이 아닌 사실상 혼인관계에 있는 자에 대해 상속인이 아니라는 이유로 선순위상속인이 당해주택의 명도를 청구할 수 있다면 이것은 사망임차인과 동거해온 가족으로서 심각한 사회적인 문제가 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 주택임대차보호법상 임차권승계와 관련하여 제기되고 있는 문제점을 검토하고 그에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Electronic commerce creates serious problems for tax administration because of difficulties associated with the identification of traders, coding of trade activities and so on. The core issue with respect to resolving tax-related problems in electronic commerce is first, the identification of individual transactions through internet and their contents as well as traders. Secondly, it is the ability of tax authorities to secure effectively such data and information as identifying taxpayers, taxable amount and tax evasion on time. The tax authorities are studying the way to resolve tax evasion associated with electronic commerce by using payment system. Above of all, it is imperative to establish a systematic international cooperation in collecting value added taxes for electronic commerce. In order to enhance the effectiveness of tax system, the authorities of different nations should make joint efforts to collect taxes by exchanging such information as identification and registration of business as well as details of transactions among nations of production and consumption.

Population growth in Korea is slowing down, and the ratio of 1~2 person households has exceeded 53.3% of the total. And in the future, it is becoming more important how to accommodate as proper planning in residential areas. In this paper, we examine whether the existing district unit plans respond appropriately to the trend of the increase in small-sized housing, and we propose improvement plans for elements of the district unit plan and measures to enhance its applicability in response to small-sized housing. To do this, we analyzed the guidelines and contents of the district unit plans related to small-sized housing in recent 6 residential sites, and derived problems and improvements through literature review and expert consultation. As a result of the study, we proposed the items that need to be reflected in the district unit plan related to various housing type for one person household. And planning elements related to households, housing site, building layout, and architectural shape and appearance were also proposed, which were suitable for single-person households, such as small-sized communal housing, share-house, and single-person housing. It also suggested that single-person households should be considered for housing characteristics, including introduction of auxiliary welfare facilities such as unmanned delivery box and guest houses, and exclusion of low-demand auxiliary welfare facilities such as kindergartens. The suggested content can be used to make guidelines for small-sized housing in district unit plan.

Over the last two decades, the attitudes to cars have changed from buying a car to sharing a car, especially among young people. Shared transport services and autonomous vehicles together can resolve the accessibility issue of shared transport services. Furthermore, they will make it possible to develop a new model of apartments without car parking. Therefore, the study estimated the demand for car sharing by young people and the running efficiency of car-sharing dealing with their car-based trip demand. The study chose nine apartment complexes for study sites where a majority of the residents were young people. The questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data on the trip demands of young people. The results showed that there are significant differences in the car-sharing use patterns and demand between the apartment houses located in the Capital region and non-capital region. Young people living in apartments in the Capital region used car sharing once per day per person for approximately 80 minutes per trip and tended to hire that between 8 AM and 10 AM. On the other hand, the young people living in apartments in the non-capital region used car sharing twice per day per person for approximately 200 minutes per trip. They tended to hire that frequently in the afternoon and evening as well as in the morning. The results also showed that a single car-sharing vehicle could deal with 3~4 trips per day in the Capital region and around 2 trips per day in the non-capital region.

In the case of apartment building, it is difficult to conduct non-destructive testing due to the actual presence of people and the dust and noise generated during the core test, so inspections are performed each time in the common area and underground parking lot, and the tests are conducted on the finishing material rather than on the concrete surface due to low-cost orders. As the process progresses, poor inspection is inevitable. In addition, the proposed formulas for strength estimation have large fluctuations depending on the differences in test conditions and environments, and even if they show the same measured value, the deviation between each proposed formula is large, making it difficult to accurately estimate strength, making it difficult to use. Accordingly, we would like to select finishing materials mainly used in apartment complexes and compare and evaluate the compressive strength of concrete according to the type of finishing material by using non-destructive testing methods directly on the finishing materials without removing the finishing materials. The reliability evaluation results of the estimated compressive strength of concrete using the ultrasonic velocity method according to the type of finishing material are as follows. The error rate between the estimated compressive strength and compressive strength derived through the ultrasonic velocity method shows a wide range of variation, ranging from 21.83% to 58.89%. The effect of the presence or absence of finishing materials on the estimated compressive strength was found to be insignificant. Accordingly, it is necessary to select more types of finishing materials and study ultrasonic velocity methods according to the presence or absence of finishing materials, and to study estimation techniques that can increase reliability.

The primary purpose of this study is to provide the managerial guidelines for the comprehensive apartment improvement planning. This plan will consider the time-serial apartment management plan. Through a questionnaire survey, residential satisfactions and demands on apartment units, apartment building and site amenities were investigated. Based on the statistical analysis, residents' demands were assessed. The resident groups were categorized into the three groups considering the apartments' life span where they were living. The results from the statistical analysis were finally compared with the long-term apartment management plan demonstrated in the Housing Code of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, residential satisfaction on the equipments in apartment units was higher than that on the unit plans. Residents' satisfaction on the communal facilities in apartment sites was lower than that on the other factors. Thus, apartment unit plans and communal facilities in sites need to be improved. Second, though we had the three residents' groups, for the results of the residential satisfaction, the groups were divided into two groups: 'less than 10 years group'and 'over than 10 years group'. Considering the residents' demands for the apartment improvement according to the life span of apartment complexes, the habitability factor was demanded by 'the less than 10 years group' and the safety factor by 'the over than 10 years group'. Compared the residents' demands for apartment improvements with the long-term apartment management plan demonstrated in the Housing Code, the improvement cycles demanded by residents were shorter than those in the code. Thus, the management plan in the code should be reconsidered.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the behaviors for ventilation to control indoor air quality and characteristics of the maintenance for ventilation equipments by multi-family housing residents. This study was conducted by the survey in the area of Seoul and Kyungki-do. The results of the study are as follows: the majority of respondents conduct ventilation once a day, below 20 minutes with opening some windows of the inside of the house. The time for ventilation is generally between 9-11 am. and 5-7 pm. Most of the wives are responsible for ventilation activities. In addition, so far building materials and furniture are not seriously considered as the source of indoor air pollution by the respondents. Their satisfaction for indoor air before and after ventilation is perceived as just the level of average. As the mechanical ventilation equipments such as a hood and an exhaust fan, half of the respondents are using them frequently. However, the ventilation equipments are not maintained well. Specially maintenance and checks for exhaust fans are hardly conducted. In conclusion, the frequency of ventilation is very limited and residents show passive attitudes about ventilation and maintenance of ventilation equipments. Therefore, for the actualization of healthy housing, educational programs and guidelines on the way of ventilation targeting the residents should be set up and a certain organization has to check periodically the performance of the ventilation equipments of each house in the multi-family housing complex.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the characteristics of energy use behaviors and energy saving consciousness of multi-family housing residents. The energy referred to in this study includes electric energy, heating energy and water usage. This study was conducted from a survey carried out in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The results of the study are as follows: First, among the survey questions, the only positive energy saving behaviors shown by the occupants was turning off the lights and the television, and in the use of kitchen appliances; it could therefore be concluded that, in general, energy saving attitude and consciousness were not sufficient to reduce energy consumption. Second, the results showed high mean scores for the behaviors which were easy to control, such as turning off lights and televisions, and low mean scores for the behaviors which required extra effort to completely cut off electricity energy such as pulling out the plugs of electronic appliances. Third, it was found that the occupants generally showed the tendency to save heating energy. However, in cases where the occupants were required to continuously and directly experience indoor temperatures, they expressed passive attitudes toward saving energy. Fourth, they showed wasteful attitudes toward water usage by leaving the tap running when taking showers and washing their faces. Fifth, while they showed a strong energy saving consciousness, they also showed a passive attitude about putting this into practice; there was therefore some gap between attitude and behavior. Lastly, among the socio-demographic factors, age and family lifecycle were very important factors affecting energy use and energy saving consciousness.

In increasingly competitive market conditions, domestic construction companies are struggling to secure a competitive edge by increasing consumer satisfaction. In these circumstances, a greater emphasis needs to be put on providing an upgraded level of quality in the area of addressing defects to the satisfaction of customers, which is considered to have a great impact on customer satisfaction. This empirical study of the relationships among service quality, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intention aims to provide basis data for increasing service quality, particularly in dealing with the defect issues facing construction companies. To this end, a literature review was carried out on the concept of service quality along with defect issues, and customer satisfaction and influential factors were identified. Building on these foundations and findings, a survey was administered to residents in housing dwellings such as apartments. The results of this study are expected to heighten awareness of the need for increased service quality, which may have a critical influence on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention, and will thereby contribute to enhancing competitiveness and other aspects of the current construction industry.
