Inter-floor noise in an apartment building is a serious problem that causes conflicts between tenants. Accordingly, there are various attempts to solve this problem, but it is not easy to find a clear solution. Therefore, in this study, a soundproofing material between floors was developed that can improve the sagging that occurs after construction. And as a result of testing the developed interlayer soundproofing material, both light weight and weight were grade 1. And it was analyzed that maintenance performance could be improved with integrated structural characteristics.

Recently, interest in OSC(Off Site Construction) is increasing due to the trend of a decrease in skilled workers and an increase in labor costs. In this regard, PC(Precast Concrete) is being reviewed for apartments, the most common type of housing in Korea. As the biggest concern for PC apartment houses, civil complaints such as inter-floor noise and leakage were presented. In this study, the details of the joints were reviewed based on the past cases of PC apartments, and the details of the recently constructed or planned PC apartments were investigated. Through this, the leakage path in the past was analyzed through the existing research literature and data. And wall type RC and PC apartment joint leakage test was performed and we found the needs for a detail of waterproof steps, sealant. Also, joint details were investigated for a rahmen type apartment housing under construction. At last, A discussion was conducted on the direction for a detailed proposal of an improved joint in the future.

This study was performed for make the plan of large residential zone considering reduction of the traffic noise and landscape, to meet the demand of resident who pursuit the amenity. For the first time, suitable traffic noise prediction model was selected and modified. Also, quantitative analysis of the traffic noise reductor was performed. These results are utilized plan of large residential zone efficiently.

The overall noise reduction was compared in regard to the vibrational characteristics of floor impact noise in a multi story residential building which has several noise reduction treatments. The vibration through its structural elements such as wall, floor and ceiling and sound emitting were investigated for each insulation treatment. It was found that, in case of heavy-weight impact noise, the vibration energy is emitted mostly from ceiling, but for the light-weight impact noise, most of the energy comes through ceiling and walls.

Traffic noise annoyance in dwelling area like private houses and apartment is becoming very important issue nowadays in South Korea. In this paper frequency analysis of the traffic noise was performed. Based on sound pressure levels analyses and its frequency content specific requirements for component of active noise control systems are formulated. Active compensational loudspeaker, microphone front end and DSP design were analysed, considered and proposed. Components specifications and design solutions are verified using modelling and experimental technique.

Recently, with the increasing of construction works, large construction equipment are used to reduce the term of work and labor cost in construction field. Therefore, construction equipment noise has caused much annoyance for a number of dweller in nearby construction field and it has become a very serious problem in our living environment. Neverthless, in our country, adequite guidelines for the construction equipment noise are very deficiency because of the lack of basic data and insufficient research works. From this point of view, this study attempts to survey the vertical SPL distribution of piling noise by oil pressure method in construction field. This study also present a basic data found a effective plans for piling noise by oil pressure method.

In Korea, a series of noise-reduced aluminum forms are being recently used in apartment housing construction. However, their complicated and time-consuming work processes, and the noise which is still generated due to the inherent property of aluminum when especially installing and dismantling them are have been pointed out as a problem to be certainly solved for increasing their practical use in construction sites. The primary objectives of this study are to propose a conceptual design of a newly designed noise-reduced aluminum form in which the noise can be enormously decreased during form works. The conceptual design in this study improved problems of conventional system aluminum forms, and, later, a system aluminum form developed based on this conceptual design will be able to ensure noise-reduction and safety as well as excellent applicability.

The purpose of this study were to examine actual conditions of apartment residents living with their companion animals and to identify their residential stress and needs of planning elements under those conditions. Questionnaire survey was adopted in this study, and 100 cases were used for data analysis. The subjects for this study were limited to the residents breeding pets in their apartments. The results of this study are as follows: Most of the residents share their living spaces with pets together like their family without spatial restrictions. They indicated problems related to breeding pets in their residence such as walking the dog, cleaning home, leaving pets alone, noise and unpleasant smell. However, they didn't seem to be stressed a lot for their living environments. In terms of residential planning elements, floor plans for effective natural ventilation, balcony with sufficient sunlight, sound proof system, easy-maintenance interior material, unlash area, rubbish bin, mechanical ventilation and central vacuum system and safe electric outlet were highly indicated.

Urban residents in crowded complexes are making increasing civil complaints about noise and demanding pleasant and comfortable residential environments. Because noise is one of the most important factors related to urban residents' dissatisfaction with their living environments, the present study investigates the direct and indirect effects of noise-related outdoor environmental factors on residential level satisfaction, using noise level data from 29 noise-measuring stations in Seoul. From 62 multi-family apartment complexes near these stations, the authors collected GIS-based environmental attribute data, as well as survey data including the residents' personal characteristics and indicators designed to measure latent psychological characteristics: noise sensitivity and residential noise level satisfaction. This study then utilized structural equation models to analyze the direct variables influencing the latent variables of noise sensitivity and residential noise level satisfaction, as well as the complex relationships among all variables. The result showed that residents who are exposed to less noise, possibly due to living in apartments facing relatively quiet roads, protected by soundproof walls, or surrounded by densely planted trees, tend to be less noise sensitive, which makes them more satisfied with the ambient noise level. Therefore, critical outdoor environmental variables can be used to reduce noise sensitivity and improve residential noise level satisfaction.
