ABSTRACT

This study aims at investigating the applicability of the principles of New Urbanism to Korea. This study surveys the residents of the Seoul Metropolitan Area who are consumers in the housing market. The questions of the survey deal with the issues of New Urbanism such as self-containment, transportation, land use, scenic view, social mix and the formation of community. This study analyzes the responses based on independent variables of domicile, type of housing, income, academic background, sex and age. The analysis identifies that the principles of New Urbanism such as public transportation, public space, and self-containment in the side of consumption are applicable to Korea. On the other hand, the respondents reveal their negative opinions about mixed use of buildings, jobs-housing balance, residential areas with high-density and renewal of inner city. In terms of this, it seems to be restrictively possible to introduce the principles of New Urbanism to urban developments in Korea.
