Residential space can be stated as a decisive body compositely affected by environmental, physical, social, and cultural influences. Resulting from this idea, residential space can be defined as a mirror reflecting peoples' life at that period. Therefore, it is possible to understand the social and cultural aspects of a certain era through analyzing the residential space built and used at that period. Viewing from this point, latter term of Chosun Period, as a transitional period, was a tie of collapse for the structure of middle-class society forcing its identity system to be reorganized, and of improving upon commerce, agriculture, and manual industry to enable modernization. Following this idea, the goal of this research is to analyze characteristics of higher middle class residences built at the close of 19th century in Gyeonggi province in order to bring into light the change of social structure of the period.

홈 환경은 독립 환경에서 네트워크 환경으로 발전되고 있으며, 더 나아가 센서를 기초로 하는 컨텍스트 어웨어(context-aware) 환경으로 변화될 것이다. 이러한 홈 환경의 변화는 사용자에게 더 많은 요구와 니즈를 발생시키고, 이것을 만족시키기 위해서는 사용자의 관점에서 요구와 니즈를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 '사용자의 행위는 사용자의 요구와 니즈를 표출한다' 와 '사용자의 행위는 홈 환경 컨텍스트를 판단한 사용자 컨텍스트에 의해 발생된다' 라는 두 가지 주장을 전제로 하여, 사용자 행위와 사용자 컨텍스트를 통해 사용자의 니즈를 파악할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 프레임워크는 사용자 정보를 체계적으로 분석할 수 있게 하여 디자인 과정에서 사용자의 니즈를 추출하는 효과적인 장치가 될 것이다. 이에 먼저, 사용자 행위의 특성을 파악하기 위해 '행위카드 기록법' 을 이용한 사용자 조사를 실시하여 분석을 위한 데이터를 수집하였고, 그 다음으로, 수집 된 데이터를 도널드 노만(D.A.Norman)의 행동 7 단계 모델과 5W1H를 근거로 분석하여 사용자의 행위는 바라보는 관점에 따라 다른 해석을 가진다는 것을 밝혀내었다. 마지막으로, 그 관점을 '행위간의 연관성', '사용자 컨텍스트 요소간의 연관성', '사용자 행위와 사용자 컨텍스트 요소 간의 연관성'의 세가지 프레임워크로 구성하여 디자인 또는 기획의 과정에서 사용자의 정보를 활용할 수 있는 활용방안과 함께 제안한다.

This study suggested a way to compose a flexible environment capable of meeting the needs of various users from the aged people to challenged people, and ordinary people by applying the concept of universal design. The purpose of this study was to develop a more convenient environment by deriving the best size and color for each subject and constructing a detailed design platform for each module. For this, the concept of universal design as well as the current bathroom designs were examined and various users were analyzed prior to developing the design. A virtual environment was prepared based on the results and its usability was evaluated in two phases with various users including the aged people, challenged people, and ordinary people. As a result, it received quite a favorable evaluation from users, over 90 out of 100 in average, which can be regarded as a proof that it is differentiated from existing bathrooms. This study may lead to the change in the paradigm of bathroom in residential space, development of safer and comfortable domestic environment, and the enhancement of the quality of healthy life through the development of a design platform for each module that provides new experiences to various users. It is hoped that these modular systems are continuously studied not only for bathrooms but also for various residential spaces where people can stay.

Furniture is an essential element in the area of human residence, and the necessity of system furniture suitable for the pursuit of unity in design, which clearly distinguishes the various and flexible arrangements and characteristics of space, is gradually expanding. The elderly population in Korea currently exceeds 15%, and is expected to be close to 40% by 2050. An increasing number of elderly generations are showing different behavioral patterns, such as sharing information, health care, and seeking independence from children. In order to maintain an independent daily life, a stable living environment has become essential, but as a result of a study that safety accidents caused by households increase due to a decrease in cognitive ability and physical ability, the need for a suitable household has increased. Therefore, the biological changes and characteristics of the elderly were investigated, and the concept definition, scope and limitations of system households were studied. In addition, by grasping the changes in the home appliance market and trends in the home appliance market, the design direction of system furniture required by the elderly was presented.

In the 21st century, universal design has started to expand as new design value system for the diversity and various need of user: a new design that can reflects the welfare of the society. In addition, the percentage of population over 65 years old has been rising rapidly in Korea, and we are expected to reach 'aged society' with 14.3% of elderly population in 2018. In rural districts, population of the elderly has already reached 'super-aged society' with over 20%. With the rapid increase of the number of the elderly, the need for social service system is rising. For the independent living of the elderly, the dwelling space that supports their lifestyle is the most important factor. In advanced countries, they have proposed the housing for the elderly to keep living in their house, improvement of housing quality that fits the changing various needs of them. Until now, however, the most housing condition that the elderly has lived is poor living environment as below housing standards, especially housing in rural districts is very poor. The purpose of this study was to extract issue of housing in the rural districts in terms of universal design concept and reflecting the cultural and living characteristics of rural districts. With this, additionally, this study make understood about the necessity and important of universal design housing to reflect the characteristics of rural districts. For this study, data were collected from field survey and interview. The major results showed the following. 1) There were very various type of housing in rural districts. Spatial composition and shape was not related to living behavior and cultural characteristics of rural district. 2) The most new constructed housing was similar to urban housing type. It means that housing with respect to living culture of users in rural district must be developed. 3) In rural housing, they all had outdoor building (included storehouse, bathroom/toilet, kitchenet, etc.) relating to a series of work behavior. However, living environment was not to meet needs and characteristics of users.
