Twenty five percent of South Korea's population is living in Gyeonggi-do Province(GGD) and many new townhouses are located in GGD. So, the purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the changing tendencies of housing choices after the year 2000 in GGD. The content of my research will be a comparison and analysis of the ratio of housing availability, housing types, structures, area of inside space and so on. The results of my research will help to establish a database in regards to the housing choices in the entire country. In my methods of study, I used statistical yearbooks of GGD, the materials of Office for National Statistics(ONS) and a variety of sources about GGD. The results are as follows : 1)GGD apartments comprise the largest number of buildings and widest area of housing. 2)Even though apartments are the most constructed housing type in GGD, the ratio of housing availability per family is the lowest in Korea. 3)The land area used for apartment construction, including the infrastructure of these homes, increased which caused a decrease in land area used for agriculture and forestry. 4)After 2005, the number of new house developments has decreased, but the area of the new house developments has increased. 5)Most housing developers are using concrete for new home construction. The increase and decrease of concrete structures are influenced by apartment construction. Wooden structures used for detached houses have been increasing gradually due to health concerns. 6)The living space per capita for GGD was the smallest over all when compared to other provinces. The ratio of housing availability was below average, so the residential environment of GGD was less than other provinces.
