Purpose: The objective of this research is to investigate and analyze the relationship between physical residential conditions and occupants' responses in apartment buildings by POE(Post-Occupancy Evaluation). The analysis results from this research will help to identify the indoor residential problems and find design solutions for improving overall residential indoor residential environment. Method: The occupant survey was conducted at four different apartment complex area at Cheongju City, Chungbuk Province, Korea. Combination of unbalanced indoor environmental conditions in residential building had difference of occupants' responses according to occupants' characteristics, such as gender, age, and so on. The survey collected data regarding the occupants' EQ(Environmental Quality) priorities to determine the weight of each environmental-quality factor (lighting, acoustic, thermal and indoor air quality). A paired comparison method was used to determine the weight by comparing the relative importance of the two factors based on occupant's survey response. Result: The output from this research is useful to understand the residential environment, occupants' satisfaction, preference, and identifies the current residential problems and finds an architectural solution in apartment buildings.

While there are a number of guidelines used throughout the world in the assessment of acceptability of tall building accelerations, none are based on systematically conducted surveys of occupant reaction to wind-induced motion. In this study, occupant response data were gathered by both a self-reporting mechanism and by interviewer-conducted surveys in control tower structures over a period of four years. These two approaches were designed in conjunction with experimental psychologists to ensure unbiased reporting. The data allowed analysis of perception thresholds and tolerability at different building frequencies and in different wind climates. The long-term nature of the studies also allowed an investigation of the causes and effects of adaptation to building motion. As the surveys were designed to allow multiple use during single storms, the effects of exposure duration were investigated. A final exit survey was conducted at the primary survey location to investigate views of the acceptability of wind-induced motion and the factors underlying these views. The findings of the field studies indicate that none of the currently used acceleration guidelines address all of the factors that contribute to occupant dissatisfaction. An alternative framework for assessing acceleration acceptability is proposed.

Today, residential building is considered of be one of the most important space of their quality of life and health. Residential buildings should provide comfortable environments to support the activities of their occupants. And good residential buildings are made by appropriately combining residential spaces, such as living room, master bedroom, bedroom, kitchen, restroom, and so on. These combinations in residential building are must be compatible with the activities of the occupants and their needs. The objective of this research is to investigate and analyze the relative importance and space priority between residential space in residential buildings depending on occupants' characteristics, such as, gender and age. Especially, this research is to find space weighting factors for integrative evaluation in residential buildings based on occupant survey. These weighting factors play an important role in determining the relative importance of various residential spaces for integrative residential space evaluation. And, the result from this research will help designers and researchers to find space planning strategies in residential building, and develop new integrative evaluation framework for improving residential quality from the occupants' point of view.

Residential Buildings should provide high-quality, comfortable environments to support the activities of their occupants. The indoor environment of residential buildings, which includes thermal, lighting, acoustic, and indoor air quality, has a significant impact on health and quality of life. The comfortable living environment in residential buildings result from appropriately combining these environmental quality factors, and the performance of building systems must be compatible with the activities of the occupants. The objective of this research is to investigate and analyze the relationship between physical environmental conditions and occupant responses for improving environmental quality (EQ) in apartment buildings with four different building orientations (i.e. E, W, S, N) in two different seasons (i.e. winter and summer). The occupant survey was conducted in actual apartment buildings. The Physical environmental conditions in apartment buildings differed substantially depending on space, outdoor weather conditions and building orientations. Each space within the same apartment building had different environmental conditions. Combinations of unbalanced physical environmental conditions in apartment building decrease occupants' satisfactions and their perceptions of overall residential quality. Occupants' satisfaction and their responses to physical characteristics of their residential environment is related to thermal, lighting, acoustic, and indoor air conditions in their buildings. The result from this research will help designers and researchers to identify problems and develop solutions for improving environmental quality from the occupants' point of view.

건물 화재 시 인명안전설계의 목표는 피난에 필요한 최소한의 시간을 확보하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 적정 피난 설계를 위하여 다음과 같은 내용을 연구하였다.-국내 사무소 건물의 거주밀도 분포를 조사 분석하였다. -고층 사무소 건물에서 대피훈련을 시행하여 예상 피난시간을 관측하였다. -피난전용 프로그램의 하나인 SIMULEX를 적용하여 컴퓨터 피난모델의 특성과 적용상의 한계를 연구하였다. -거주밀도와 파난시간과의 상관성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 국내 사무소 건물의 거주밀도는 총 바닥면적(Gross Area)기준으로 13.14$m^2$/인 -22.69$m^2$/인이며 평균 19.72$m^2$/인 (193ft\sup 2\인)으로 조사되었다. (95% 신뢰도 기준) 또한 고층 사무소 건물의 대피훈련과 SIMULEX 모델 결과를 비교하여 피난시간에 큰 차이가 나타나 현 모델의 가정과 계산 방법에 한계가 있음을 보여주었다. 한편, 거주밀도와피난시간과의 분석 결과, 동일용도에서도 차이를 보이고 있어 용도별 거주밀도 기준 마련이 시급한 것으로 판단된다.

건축물 화재상황에서 피난시간을 감소시키기 위한 기존의 노력들은 피난시간의 구성요소 중 피난행동시간을 감소시키는 데 집중되었다. 그러나 피난행동시간의 비율이 전체 피난시간의 1/3임에도 불구하고 이를 제외한 인지시간과 초기대응행동시간을 감소시키기 위한 고려는 부족한 실정이며, 특히 피난행동시간만을 감소시킴으로써 피난성공률을 향상시킬 수 없는 상황이 발생하게 되었다. 따라서 인지시간과 초기대응행동시간을 감소시킬 수 있는 재난정보라는 개념이 주목 받게 되었다. 본 연구는 재난정보가 재실자특성에 작용하는 과정을 분석하기 위해 피난시간의 감소 측면에서 10가지 주요 재난정보와 3가지 재실자특성 요소의 관계를 설명하는 재난정보-재실자특성 연관성을 도출하였다. 또한 노인, 지적장애인, 청각장애인과 시각장애인을 대상으로 설문조사를 통한 가상의 피난실험을 수행, 재난정보가 재실자특성에 작용하는 과정을 부족한 재실자특성을 보완하여 최저수준의 화재안전성을 확보하는 과정과 일정 수준 보유한 재실자특성을 극대화하여 화재안전성을 확보하는 과정으로 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 직관적인 수준에서 설명되는 기존의 재난정보-재실자특성 간의 관계에 피난시간의 감소라는 관점에서의 설명력을 더하였고, 향후 다양한 재실자 유형이 존재하는 상황에서의 재난정보 관계에 대하여 후속연구가 진행된다면 재난정보와 재실자특성을 고려하는 후속 연구에 기초적 자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the solution of occupant problems related to the house purchasing. For the purpose, the content of problems and actual conditions of house purchasing are examined. Also the structural analysis of occupant's evaluation of housing purchasing is executed. For these purposes, a survey was conducted using questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted from 263 house owners in Seoul. Major findings of this study can be summarized as follows ; 1) The frequency and the contend of occupation's problems with house purchasing are studied. The rate of housing problem occurrence is 71.2%, so the majority of respondents experience problems. The most common problems are the difference from supplier's description(53.2%). The rate of housing problems occurrence is qenerally high with the houses of mult-housedhold houses and mult-family houses type. 2) There is a significant difference in housing satisfaction extend according to the existence of an housing problem experience. Therefore, it can be inferred that experience of housing problem has an important effects upon the housing satasfaction extent. 3) Occupants' countermoves to the housing problems are examined. Occupants make active regotiation with house suppliers only on the direct damages such as an economical loss or a living difficulty. However, they usually make no countermove at all on the other indirect troubles. House suppliers make correction only when occupants' countermove actively, but refuse to do when occupant's reactions are not active. 4) As a means of countermove, most occupants depend on direct personal regotiation with house suppliers. The rate of using a specialist or public and private consultant is extremely low. 5) Problems with house purchasing and the countermove process of both occupant and house supplier are displayed in the figure(Fig. 4-4).

Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) techniques have been developed to provide a means for evaluating occupant responses to changes in an environment and linking this response to physical measures of that environment. POE has been used to systematically evaluate the performance of buildings after they have been built and occupied for some time. This paper present findings on factors (social and physical), which influences housing residential satisfaction of a sample of occupants in four different government Housing Subsidy locations in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. Descriptive statistics were carried out on the data obtained through the use of occupant survey. Findings emanating from the survey revealed that the respondents were satisfied with their overall housing situation, but had complaints about certain aspects of the housing unit. However, the respondents felt that most of their housing needs were not being met. Also, a comparison is also made of the perceived factors of dissatisfaction amongst the housing subsidy occupants. It is recommended that a wider systematic coverage of the subject through investigation and diagnostic POE and occupants need assessment should be carried in housing subsidy schemes in South Africa.
