The POE of the New Apartment Complex in Gimhae was carried out and on the basis of the results of this POE, the design alternatives of housing units were developed. The subjects were 372 housewives who live in the apartment houses sized 60m2 to 85m2 in Gimhae. They answered about the living characteristics related to house, the degree of saisfaction with their housing unit plans, and the needs for housing unit plan.

Apartments, an intensive residential type, exist and are supplied in large quantities regardless of the size of the city. The value of an apartment is affected not only by the surrounding infrastructure, but also in terms of maintenance. Defects that occur in apartments come in various forms, and mainly poor finishing accounts for 60% of the defects. Among them, tile defects accounted for a large proportion and were found to be caused by several factors. This paper analyzed the influence of each factor considering the coefficient of thermal expansion affecting tile defects according to the domestic seasonal climate.

Although the term royal floors is broadly used in high-rise housing, it is hard to find any clear scholarly definition of this term or any in-depth study exploring people's perceptions of it. This study reviewed ongoing discussions about concepts and definitions regarding royal floors, collected opinions from high-rise housing residents and realtors about the term, and compared the opinions of these two groups. First, the statistically analyzed results verified five main factors affecting people's perceptions of royal floors: locational characteristics (i.e., daylight, view, orientation), 2) price characteristics (i.e., premium, price increase level, number of houses on urgent sale), 3) best location of apartment building (i.e., location within a neighborhood, unit size), 4) architectural characteristics of apartment complex (i.e., size of complex, housing type, size options of units), and 5) personal characteristics of respondents (i.e., personal concepts of the meaning of housing, lifestyles). Results from the analysis showed that realtors perceived strong relationships between royal floors and 1) locational and 2) price characteristic factors, while residents perceived strong relationships between royal floors and personal preference as well as three factors from the five identified above: 1) locational, 2) price, and 4) architectural characteristics. Third, in defining royal floors in a building, the past rule of 1/4 is no longer effective. Instead, the rule of 1/n has become more prevalent (i.e., 1/6 to 1/8). Fourth, royal floors can be defined as the 15th to 25th floors in a 30-story high-rise housing structure based on the agreement of 50% of residents and 70% of realtors.
