The purpose of this study is to identify the current situation of stand-alone apartments, which have recently increased significantly in Bucheon city, and to derive a management plan. In Bucheon, considering the aging situation of low-rise residences, geographical requirements close to Seoul, and development of new stations, there is a high possibility that stand-alone apartments will be built in the future. In particular, in Bucheon, the number of stand-alone apartments with less than 30 households being built through building permits has increased significantly in recent years.
The problem of stand-alone apartments in Bucheon is the lack of safety and convenience, which are basic requirements for housing, and stand-alone apartments do not play a role in improving the problems of low-rise residential areas. There is no clear definition of stand-alone apartments because it is not a legal term, and it is necessary to define stand-alone apartments focusing on the problems that occur in Bucheon. The definition of stand-alone apartments in Bucheon is defined as an apartment with less than 100 households that faces a road less than 10 m and has little contribution to solving infrastructure problems such as pedestrians and parking.
This study proposes to induce the securing of infrastructure by strengthening construction standards in order to overcome the current situation in which stand-alone apartments do not play a role in improving local infrastructure problems. In the case of apartments with less than 30 households receiving a building permit through the amendment of the ordinance, it is proposed to raise the parking lot installation standard by about 20% from the current parking lot installation standard. Besides, It is proposed to consider providing incentives such as floor area ratio as a supplement to the occurrence of retreat of construction lines to secure pedestrian paths. Stand-alone apartments are a type of housing whose supply and demand vary greatly depending on the economic situation, so it is necessary to induce them to have the elements for minimum housing in the long term.
In addition, through the revision of the Bucheon City Ordinance, it is proposed to amend the ordinance so that buildings that fall under the definition of stand-alone apartment are subject to architectural deliberation. In addition, it is suggested to use a checklist that can be used during the review so that the architectural review can play a proper role. Since a lot of stand-alone apartments are built in areas where small-scale maintenance projects are carried out, it is necessary to establish the basic principles of management through the basic urban and residential environment maintenance plan.
Bucheon needs to present a blueprint for the future of low-rise residential buildings to improve the fundamental management plan for stand-alone apartments, and to reorganize the city management plan system accordingly. The current use zoning system has a limit in inducing harmonious development with the surrounding area because density is more important rather than use. Bucheon needs to choose a strategy from among various use area improvement measures such as flexible use zoning system or subdivision of use area.
