The results of the study can be used as a basis to come up with policy and practical measures to increase these workers' intention of marriage. Methods : Data was collected from 480 participants through a questionnaire. The measuring tools in this study were tested for reliability and validity. In addition, technical statistics, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were performed by SPSS 18.0. Results : First, unmarried workers' willingness to marry was higher above the average. Second, significant differences in the unmarried workers' intention of marriage were revealed based on gender, age, level of education, total assets, and debt status. Significant associations were also found with parents' economic levels and the possibility of parental support for housing and marriage expenses. The differences in response based on employment patterns, job satisfaction, and family-friendly organizational culture were also significant. The correlation between policy variables and marriage intentions also showed the necessity of a funded housing policy and a marriage preparation policy. Third, based on the hierarchical regression analysis using personal, parental, and workplace variables to identify the factors affecting unmarried workers' willingness to marry, it is clear that gender, age, and the likelihood of parental support for housing and marriage expenses have a significant impact. A family-friendly organizational culture and funded housing policy were also significant contributors. Conclusion : The study found that the funded housing policy was the most important factor affecting unmarried office workers' willingness to marry. Additionally, the possibility of parental support for housing and marriage expenses and a family-friendly organizational culture at work were found to have an important impact on the improvement of unmarried workers' willingness to marry.

As a result, when the housing supply reduced, the potential quantity for jeonse market reduced that occurred unbalance of supply and demand in jeonse market. In turn, it caused the increase of jeonse price. And, in case of jeonse vs. transaction price rate change, the rate increased which means the increase of required rate of return of invested demand. As such, the increase of market risk degenerates the investment sentiment which caused the reduction of quantity for jeonse market as a submarket.

The movements to improve rural housing environments have been promoted since the beginning of Sae-Mauel project in 1970s. Since then policies to develop village units and to improve housing units and public facilities have been increased. These trends reflect rural inhabitants' strong desire to enjoy a quality of life. The project of Munhwa-Mauel aims to improve rural housing environment conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry since the early 1990s. As of 1998, among 105 districts under the project. 56 districts have been parceled out and sold. The number of Munhwa-Mauels is expected to increase under Government's policy to construct 772 Munhwa-Mauels by the year 2004, which may have a large influences on private sectors. So far several studies have been conducted on the Munhwa-Mauel project. According to them Munhwa-Mauel has merits such that it modernizes the rural villages, and decreases the number of people moving out. while it causes conflict between the residents and the newcomers. Munhwa-Mauel also provides uniform housing layouts and unsuitable environments for the rural area, and lacks locality and facilities to promote income. As, however, the results of previous studies have not been verified through systematic researches, it is necessary to search a verified approach through the evaluation on housing environment in various aspects in order to provide planning guidelines for rural villages.

During COVID-19 the housing market in Korea experienced the soaring prices, despite the decrease in the economic growth rate. This paper aims to analyze macroeconomic determinants affecting housing prices in Korea during the pandemic and find an appropriate statistic model to forecast the changes in housing prices in Korea. First, an appropriate lag for the model using Akaike information criterion was found. After the macroeconomic factors were checked if they possess the unit root, the dependencies in the model were analyzed using vector autoregression (VAR) model. As for the prediction, the VAR model was used and, besides, compared afterwards with the long short-term memory (LSTM) model. CPI, mortgage rate, IIP at lag 1 and federal funds effective rate at lag 1 and 2 were found to be significant for housing prices. In addition, the prediction performance of the LSTM model appeared to be more accurate in comparison with the VAR model. The results of the analysis play an essential role in policymaker perception when making decisions related to managing potential housing risks arose during crises. It is essential to take into considerations macroeconomic factors besides the taxes and housing policy amendments and use an appropriate model for prices forecast.

In the construction industry, off-site construction (OSC) is drawing attention as a production method due to changes in working hours and the supply and demand of manpower. In 1991, there was a policy of spreading and expanding the use of precast concrete (PC) apartment homes, but they have not been actively used so far since they were discontinued due to quality problems. In this study, policy tasks were analyzed to motivate the application of OSC-based PCs in the apartment housing sector, and policy directions were derived by conducting focus group interviews (FGI). Nine policies are suggested regarding the following topics: PC apartment supply quantity provision, priority application of public housing, priority supply of public housing, preferential floor area ratio, funding, tax support, improvement of business area structure, improvement of delivery method, factory certification system, and training of experts. The results of the FGIs are as follows. First, in order to revitalize PC apartment homes, leading efforts from the public sector are required. Second, rather than reorganizing the business sector or introducing a new delivery method, a policy direction that induces the strengthening of cooperation is desirable. Third, PC activation should be promoted on an institutional basis for securing appropriate construction costs and quality.

This study addressed housing issues among various social problems of youth. With a focus on residential independence, this study analyzed the factors that lead youth to achieve residential independence. This study drew on nationwide data from the 'Youth Life Survey (2022)' with a sample size of 12,578. Binary logistic regression analysis was employed, with the dependent variable being residential independence. Key factors were as follows. The probability of residential independence was higher for men than women. Residential independence occurred mainly in non-metropolitan areas compared to metropolitan areas. Findings revealed that greater age, income, and assets facilitate achieving residential independence. In addition, public transport and cultural facilities were important for their residential independence, and it was found that the previous experience of residential independence had a positive effect. Policy implications derived from the findings are as follows. It is required to consider the heterogeneity and diversity of youth rather than implementing unitary policies. To ensure continuity and sustainability of self-reliance, long-term support programs are needed rather than temporary support. Moreover, it is required to offer public support comprehensively, instead of youth relying on support from personal networks, including their parents. An inclusive housing policy should be established to support youth for their residential independence in the future.
