1인 가구 주거공간의 코하우징 커뮤니케이션 특성 연구

초록

(Background and Purpose) Recently, the number of single-person families has been increasing in Korean society. With this trend and the development of the “single-person residence” model, the dredged interpersonal relationship has been cut off, forming one-sided interpersonal relationships. Among the housing models developed to solve this problem, co-housing, the most representative one, activates communication by providing an exchange space where people can communicate. Therefore, this study analyzed previous research considering the co-housing communication space characteristics of a single-person family, and by investigating “sharing cases,” it puts forward the ideal planning direction of public housing communication space, which will be used as the basic data in the future. (Method) First, through a literature review, the definition of a single-person family was mastered, as well as common residence and the communication space types in the space composition types. Second, through the advance research, a checklist of the spatial characteristics of co-housing communication was obtained. Third, based on the list, this paper conducted field investigation and analyzed six cases of shared housing established after 2015 that could accommodate 10-29 people. Fourth, we conducted the final comprehensive analysis of the co-housing exchange space composition and obtain spatial characteristics of the conclusion. (Results) The spatial characteristics in the co-housing residence exchange space can be classified as proximity, openness, and interaction. In our analysis, the spatial characteristics had the highest openness and the lowest interaction. First, in terms of openness, the communication space covered a large area with few obstacles. Large windows are used for lighting, and white walls are used to improve the visual openness. In addition, there is no time limit. Second, considering proximity, most of the examples provided natural access to the communication space through the main entrance, and there were many examples of available signage. Most of the examples come in the form of intersections, with communication space on each floor, facilitating its use. However, people with disabilities or older people had difficulty using it. Third, in terms of interaction, the communication space that could accommodate all the residents was limited, and it is difficult to change the use or layout of large furniture according to residents’ needs due to the fixed location of lighting and furniture. In addition, due to the limited area, the layout and location of the space were difficult to replace. (Conclusion) At present, there is a continuous increase in the trend of single-member families. For this reason, we should develop further the spatial layout of co-housing and diversify the communication space. Therefore, it is necessary to put forward detailed design guidelines through a user questionnaire survey or interview and other approaches in the future.
