Recently, several studies conducted for other countries show that housing price has very close relationship with personal or neighborhood level obesity. Also these studies suggest the use of housing price as a new SES(Socio-Economic Status) variable for health related studies. In this study, whether this relationship can be found in regions of the Seoul Metropolitan Area is investigated. The results of this study show that, as in the cases of other countries, the regions with SES represented by higher housing prices show lower obesity levels. Further, the results show that the differences in regional housing prices well explain the variations of regional obesity levels as other traditional SES variables do. This finding indicates that housing price which is objectively, continuously, and spatially measured in Korea can be used as a new SES indicator for health research in Korea.

Odor problem of livestock operation is important issue in a local community. I quantified the property price impact of 199 livestock operations for 3,355 housing sales in the U.S (Colorado). Spatial hedonic model was adopted to deal with spatial autocorrelation in housing market. Small beef and dairy operations, which are the traditional agricultural sector, seem to create a positive rural lifestyle amenity effect. However, the impact of livestock operation on rural residential sales turns to negative if the operation is over a certain size and species. Large hog and sheep operation seems to bring fatal economic loss from the local community perspective if it close to residential area. Livestock odor is one of the negative externality, the results provide the potential social cost of the livestock sector in the region. Policy makers may incorporate this social cost in the regional planning to minimize the social and maximize the development effect. Therefore, local officials and private individuals should carefully consider the location and characteristics of new residential properties and livestock operations alike.

This study aims to explore the possibilities of social integration focused on the inclusionary housing scheme developed in the United States. Inclusionary housing is produced by inclusionary zoning with planning power. One of the main goals of developing inclusionary housing is to achieve social integration in neighborhoods. The author investigates the origin, evolution, characteristics, and mechanism of the inclusionary housing scheme in the United States. Results show that the inclusionary housing scheme utilizes market mechanism such as the incentives of floor ratio bonus, fast tract permit approach as well as the affordability obligation for the low-income households. Considering the policy orientation in the United States toward market mechanism, the inclusionary housing program has played a significant role in producing and preserving affordable housing for the underprivileged in affluent neighborhoods and has produced meaningful results in academic achievements, better job outcomes, health results, and social interaction even though it has been also criticized with by its superficiality. Finally, the author draws policy implications for housing policy in Korea from the lessons and limitations of the inclusionary housing mechanism.

인구주택 센서스 즉, 인구주책 총조사는 일정시점을 기준으로 일정한 영역 또는 제한된 지역에 있어서의 모든 사람에 관한 개개의 특성과 경제 및 사회적 제반자료 및 주택실태에 관한 자료를 수집, 공표하는 일련의 과정(total process)을 말한다. [4] 이러한 인구주택 총조사는 인구통계 뿐만 아니라 모든 통계의 기초가 되며, 이구주택 총조 사의 정확도는 한나라의 통계발전 수준을 평가할 수 있는 척도가 된다. 우리나라에서는 인 구에 관한 대부분의 정보가 총조사를 원천으로 하여 작성 되어왔고, 장래 인구추계 및 인구 이동과 생명표에 관한 분석 등이 총조사 자료를 기초로 하여 이루어 지고 있기 때문에 인구 주택 총조사에 대한 의존도가 상당히 높게 나타나고 있다. 특히, 인구주택 총조사에서 수집, 생산되는 자료를 국가와 지역사회의 교육, 보건, 고용, 후생, 주택, 지역발전 등 각종 정책의 수립과 평가를 위한 기초자료로서 이용되는 등 그 중요성은 날로 커지고 있다. 그러나 산업 화와 급진적인 도시화 과정에서 수반된 높은 인구이동으로 인하여 인구주택 총조사의 실시 는 점차 복잡하고 어려워 지고 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 우리나라 인구주택 총조사의 발전 과 그 여건을 살펴봄으로써 인구주택 총조사의 중요성 및 곤란성을 인식하는데 일조하고자 한다.

This paper offers a brief overview of the historical implications of residential segregation in Busan, Korea. It first reviews the history of residence from the early 1900s to the present and the transition of residential boundary of the City of Busan. It then considers the characteristics of residential segregation and the important factors in it. The social class of pre-industrial society led the inequality of residential areas around the Eubchee. The existed Korean residential areas were separated by newly built-up residential areas in the Japanese colonial era. After the liberation from Japanese Rule and Korean War, rapid population growth made considerable slums across the City of Busan. These slums were an important factor to segregate residential areas from prosperous areas ever afterward. The socio-economic status has related to residential segregation through the formation of differential housing classes since 1990s. The historial analysis of these periods will offer an insight into how the dominant factors lead residential segregation in a specific period by promoting a more socio-economically integrated society.

Considering that the health status of the elderly is important for aging in place, both healthy and unhealthy cases were analyzed in the analyses. Housing characteristics include home ownership, housing cost burden, housing convenience, housing satisfaction, and residential environment satisfaction. The study sample is 9,798 elderly people from the 2017 survey on the elderly. Key findings are as follows: First, while 6,704 older adults (68.4%) chose to continue living in the community, 3,094 (31.6%) of the elderly did not choose to live in the local community. Second, the elderly who chose to stay in the local community are likely to have more real estate assets and less burden of housing expenses than the elderly group who did not. Third, the results report that older adults with more real estate assets and lower the housing cost burden are likely to choose sustainable living in the local community. The findings suggest that the majority of the elderly actually preferred Aging in place. This study concludes with practice and policy implications for realizing aging in place considering the elderly's needs.

This study aims to provide new design directions for public housing by analyzing trends in housing design. To this end, we investigate the changes in population, household, society, policy, institution, and technology as the main factors that can affect the housing design trends. Then we analyze the applications of public housing design and suggest the new design directions for public housing after considering experts' opinions. The low growth rate of population, growing separation of household members and increasing level of income produced more diverse demands from residents. In addition, housing demand is notably different by region, and the supply of medium and small-sized housing and small scale developments are growing. Information technology and green technology are also advancing. As a consequence, future housing trends would change from numerically-controlled to performance-based, from central to regional-oriented, from unit to city-centric. Current designs of public housing reflect recent housing trends- in reducing the number of housings and making view corridors by placing a central square in the middle. This shows that the existing designs are not differentiated by region and we need to develop various approaches according to location characteristics and the corresponding new housing types. Therefore, this study proposes the following five directions: responsiveness to demand changes, reflection of location characteristics, connectivity to a local community, realization of green environment, and acquisition of housing function.

This study intends to develope the resident leadership training in order to activate community organizations. Recently, it has been largely stressed the importance of "community" approach in social welfare practice. Traditionally, the community organization approach was emphasized in the community work methods. But many social workers express their difficulty of doing community organizations when they confront with the practice. Although there were a few cases, it was pointed out that the subgroups of long-lease housing project were not democratic, accountable, or open. This study shows the way to overcome these problems and suggests the programs that can reinforce the resident leadership development. To accomplish these tasks, I have planned programs, implemented, and then analyzed their process by qualitative evaluation methods. I have divided "the general community organization" and "the welfare community organization" to operate the leadership program and took the education and training methods using small groups. This study is significant to suggest the specific program of program planning, the activity methods of step by step community organization practice, and the formation of self- help groups.
