ABSTRACT

Officetel means building that can be used as office, residental, or mixed the both. There is significant difference between house and business facility in structure and location. Building code classify house and business facility, so each should be used by legally allowed use. Meanwhile, building code describes officetel as business facility and admits residence in it. Based the legal concept of officetel, many officetel that is used for residental has been constructed in commercial area. The legal concept of officetel is obscure and absurd. It confines officetel as business facility, but there is no criterion about it, officetel can be used only for residental. And the legal concept of officetel conflicts with public legal systems. The constitution and the house law pursuit a comfortable residental life, so there is minimun housing standard and other standards for house. But these standards are not applied to officetel because it is not housing but business facility by law. Zoning system, which our country adopts as fundmental method for land control, divides residental area and commercial area. The legal concept of officetel makes zoning system meaninglessly because it admits a massive housing complex in commercial area. So it is need to modify the legal concept of officetel in accordance with public legal systems. Residence function should be separated from business function, especially so called ‘residential officetel’ should be integrated into one-room house that is belong to multi-unit dwelling.
