The number of 1 or 2 households is rapidly increasing due to the participants of women in the working society, the increment of unmarried men, and the change in family structure. The current housing market and the housing administration focuses more on the bigger number of households so that single person households are being neglected. As more individuals move to the capital, living in the city for a single person household has become very difficult. Sharing has become an important aspect among the society and shared housings have hit the minds of single person households as a new way of living. Comprehensive properties, boarding houses, housings for studying (Go-Si-Won), and officetels match the ideas of shared housings. The absent of clear standards on private rooms and shared facilities is making the living very challenging. This study aim to understand foreign (England, Australia, and Japan) institutional characteristics for shared housings to build foundations in order to bring in shared housings into Korea. The residential concept can not be applied to shared housings in Korea directly since the idea of living is different for each nation and its cultural distinctions. However, a clear classification and standards on shared housings depending on the size of the house and number of residents are needed alongside with an index of principles and residential criteria.

The sound quality characteristics of refrigerator noise in an anechoic chamber and in a real living environment for 30 models of refrigerators were investigated. Subjective evaluation experiments were conducted to determine subjective tolerance level for refrigerator noise. Refrigerator noise was played from a loudspeaker at the position normally occupied by a refrigerator in a real living environment. A nine-point scale was used to measure subjective satisfaction of the sound pressure levels for refrigerator noise. Point 3 on the scale corresponded to a sound pressure level of about 30 dB(A). Seventy percent of the participants were satisfied with this level of refrigerator noise. A semantic differential test was also conducted to evaluate the sound quality of refrigerator noise. From the results of correlation and multiple regression analyses on the psychoacoustical parameters and subjective evaluations of 30 refrigerators, sound quality indices which predict the subjective rating score were proposed.

The degree of benefits of living services related to the quality of life can solve the depopulation problem, and it is necessary to be able to quantitatively analyze problems related to the quality of life in rural areas in order to cope with the rural depopulation. The purpose of this study was to develop the assessment model of a village-level rural living service that reflects the regional characteristics of rural villages to evaluate the level of rural living services for response rural depopulation. Based on the review of previous related studies, the evaluation index was composed of seven sectors of education, health, welfare, culture, environment, safety, and convenience, and the assessment model of a rural living service was established. This model was evaluated through a sample survey of 90 villages in Nonsan-si, Seongju-gun, and Pyeongchang-gun. As a result of the rural life services evaluation by Si and Gun, Seongju-gun, which is affected by nearby large cities, has the largest variation by village level and is assessed at a lower level overall than other Si and Gun. As a result of the rural life services evaluation by 7 sectors, in the case of health and welfare, low scores were shown in the assessment model, but the level of residents' satisfaction was mid-level. In particular, in the case of Seongju-gun, there were significant differences in the assessment model and the survey results of the level of residents' satisfaction in the health and welfare sectors due to the influence of nearby large cities. As a result of analyzing the number of villages corresponding to the top 30% and the bottom 30% of the evaluation results for each sector, it was analyzed that the villages with the highest evaluation results in Pyeongchang-gun in both the assessment model and the level of residents' satisfaction. It implies that quantitative analysis of data based index and accessibility as well as level satisfaction of residents are necessary.
