This paper is one of the sequels from 'A Survey of Villages and Dwellings of Korean Immigrants in the North-Eastern Part of China'. It is the result of the extensive survey of Ch'ang-ts'ai-tsun village and covers several architectural characteristics of the dwellings. This paper alma to identify the 'double file' dwelling type, which is believed as one of the main stream of Korean folk dwelling. In this type, 'Chung-ju-kan' forms the central open space, where main household functions are carried out. This type originates from climatic reasons and functional reasons as well. This paper also aims to clarify how the dwelling forms are changed according to the life styles of various periods. The Korean immigrants in this village have experienced rapid changes in modern times like other Chinese. Through various political movements, the original dwelling type of this village has changed to adapt various needs and functions, which shows the simple truth : dwelling form changes according to the changes of life style and social structure. In this paper the directions of chimney through various periods are analyzed to verify the differences of the house layout methods and concepts of the time. The village had grown through 3 main periods before liberation period(1946), communization period(1946 - 1966) and contemporary period (1967 - ). It is concluded as follows: 1. The village was originated in late 19th century along the east-west street, which was a major routes of Korean Immigrants to China. In this area there was no regularity in its site plan. The direction of chimney, which was usually westward, was not determined according to the location of gate. This type was kept until liberization of this area, 1946. The plans of dwellings followed Ham-kyong-do 'double file' dwelling type, '6-kan dwelling' or '8-kan dwelling'. 2. The 'New Village' area, which was formed in the communization period, has a strict regularity in its site plan. The direction of chimney was determined as opposite direction of the gate. This method was maintained until 1976, when Mao died and new 'open' policy was held by Chinese government. In this area the 'dwelling house' plan type was not changed, but its layout and size were restricted. The general form of the dwelling in this village was shaped in this period. 3. The contemporary dwellings were built in random site location. The dwelling type was changed because of the reduction of family size and the permissin of private ownership. The number of rooms was reduced but the storage rooms and domestic animal hutches were added. But the 'Chung-ju-kan', the major chacteristics of north-eastern Korea dwelling is still kept. It becomes one large 'Chtin-ju-kan' room like 'open plan' type.

우리나라는 급격히 증가하고 있는 고령 인구 증가에 따라 고령자의 사회적 고립 및 우울 등의 문제가 심각하게 제기되고 있다. 또한, 고령자의 건강과 삶의 질의 향상 요인으로 주거 환경에 대한 중요성이 부각되면서 고령자 주거에 대한 논의는 더욱 강조되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 이와 같은 현실을 고려하며, 2017년도 9월 1일부터 9월 30일까지 7개 시 구에 거주하는 65세 이상 남 여 단독가구 고령자 350명을 대상으로 단독가구 고령자의 주거우울 개념 및 주거우울 유형을 실증적으로 정립 분석하였다. 측정도구의 신뢰도 및 타당성 검토와 우울과 주거만족의 상관분석을 실시하였고, 주거우울 유형 분류를 위해 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 고령자 우울과 주거만족의 상관을 확인하였고, 주거우울 지수를 산출하여 단독가구 고령자의 우울 상태를 판정할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 새롭게 개발된 주거우울 척도와 유형이 단독가구 고령자의 주거우울정도에 대한 정확한 진단을 가능하게 할 것으로 기대된다.
