As China has the largest number of elderly people in the world, the issue of the aged people has been a serious matter of concern in Chinese government and society and many studies have been done so far. However, the studies about the dwellings of the aged people that support their basic life are still insufficient. For this reason this study intends to identify the differences in elderly people's preferences according to their situations in aged life. This study surveyed 152 elderly residents aged 50 and over including early aged people in Beijing China about their residential preferences (types of residence, location of residence, size of residence, types of ownership) according to the four types of their situations in aged life, healthy couple, sick couple, healthy single and sick single. The survey conducted from 2013 April 10th to 15th. The results were as follows: Firstly, as the elderly situation became worse, preference for the independent residence decreased very rapidly while the preference for the elderly welfare facilities dramatically increased from the 0 point of the healthy couple and the preference for the elderly welfare facilities marked the highest point in case of the worst situation of sick single. Secondly, among the four different situations preferences for the urban residence were the highest and as the aged people's situation becomes worse, their preferences for urban life increased. Thirdly, healthy couple preferred a large size residence but as their elderly situation becomes worse, their preferences for the large size decreased and their preferences for small size increased dramatically, and in case of elderly singles, preferences for small size residence exceeded their preferences for large size residence. Fourthly, as elderly situation became worse preference for owning residence decreased and preference for rental residence increased and in case of the worst situation of sick single, preference for rental residence was higher than their preferences for their own residence. With this view of point, the residential preference of elderly people changes along with their aging situations. Thus, the government should consider the variable aging market, and develop a variety of aging residence which, can satisfy the different groups of elderly.

With the development of cognitive science and environmental psychology, there have been growing researches and discussions on the relationship between the residential design preferences and personality types. MBTI personality types have been earning popular credibility. MBTI means Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. It is based on Carl Jung's theory of psychological type. This study is based on Myers-Briggs theory to explain residential furnishing preference and explores the relationship between the four bi-polar personality types-Extroversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Perceiving and residential furnishing preference. These tests were conducted to two hundred and twelve adult residents who live in Seoul, Korea. These tests were analyzed several significances by Chi-Square with SPSS for windows software. (E) Extroverted residents prefer layouts for interaction with guests. (I) Introverted residents prefer centripetal layout around the bed. (S) Sensing residents prefer practical and functional layouts. (N) Intuitive residents prefer personal and conceiving layouts. (T) Thinking residents prefer for attribute of space. (F) Feeling residents for familiar conversation. (J) Judging residents prefer systematic and complete layouts. (P) Perceiving residents prefer adaptable and flexible layouts. In conclusion, personality types can have a determining role in preference of residential furnishing layouts. This study suggests that residential designers should take into account clients' personality types prefer effective designing and should provide a variety of alternatives reflecting clients' preferences.

Established redevelopment and reconstruction projects were unified into one law in 2003 when the 'Act of Urban, Residential and Environment Improvement' was enacted. However, the act only focused on the improvement of the physical state of residential environments established by maintenance projects. In order to be effective, the law also needs to improve the nonphysical aspects of the residential environment. While conducting our research and comparing it with past research, we identified the major factors of residential preferences in order to extract and analyze the nonphysical state of residential environments. As a result, we found that social and economic factors are significantly more important to residents than cultural factors. Also, we found that in each district studied the housing preferences were the most important in redevelopment and reconstruction with the exception of Sangdang-Gu (where the community was the most important factor) and Hungduk-Gu (where the social factor was most important). For future purposes, it is necessary to consider the variables according to each location in order to reflect the needs of the residents when building an apartment complex within the redevelopment and reconstruction district.

Purpose: This study analyzes the factors influencing the housing preferences of elderly individuals when choosing residential areas in Hwaseong, a typical urban-rural complex city. Understanding these preferences is vital for formulating effective housing policies that enhance the quality of older people's life. Research design, data, and methodology: The survey conducted from March 10 to April 10, 2024, targeted 299 pre-retirees aged 50-64 living in Hwaseong. Using ANOVA and logistic regression analysis, the study examined essential factors affecting post-retirement residential decisions. Survey questions addressed essential considerations. Results: The results indicated that suburban housing was the most preferred option among pre-retirees in Hwaseong. The most critical factor that influences the choice of the home is ensuring convenience and relaxed in retirement. Significant differences emerged between housing type preferences, particularly in the importance of public transportation, cultural facilities, and housing prices. Conclusions: The study suggests several policy implications for urban-rural complex cities like Hwaseong. To meet the diverse needs of older people, urban housing should focus on improving accessibility, while rural housing should emphasize enhancing natural environments. Expanding rental housing options for older people and providing financial support for housing prices are recommended to promote housing stability for the aging population.
