This study aims to prove unreasonable rules of outdoor service facilities on investigating how household density influences the amount of outdoor service facilities in housing and the remnant of outdoor space excluding outdoor service facilities, and to propose methods improving the regulation of outdoor service facilities in consideration of residential environment's quality.
For this purpose, the whole outdoor space was divided into two different-quality areas, 1st outdoor spaces and 2nd outdoor spaces; The former consists of landscape area and the remnant of outdoor space excluding 2nd outdoor spaces. That is to say, these are the naturally and easily accessible surroundings without specific purposes. The latter is composed of outdoor sports facilities, playgrounds for children, roads and outdoor parking facilities, which are obligatory facilities, the places for restricted purpose and residents.
As a result of analyzing the influence of household density on the area of both spaces, the 2nd outdoor spaces were revealed to increase in area with a rise of household density and in consequence of that the 1st outdoor spaces, on the contrary, diminished. Because the 2nd outdoor spaces' areas are added up by the number of houses. The effect was more obvious and deeper particularly in high density housing.
But, satisfying only the obligatory facilities' areas does not always guarantee good quality of the whole outdoor space. Because the 1st outdoor spaces are one of important factors of outdoor design even those are not composed of obligatory facilities.
Therefore, to complete even and good quality of residential environment in the whole outdoor space, the regulation of outdoor service facilities should be applied in accordance with household density and we should legislate a regulation on the remnant of outdoor space excluding outdoor service facilities as well as meet the areas of outdoor service facilities.
