Recently, single parent family has increased rapidly according to divorce growth. Single mother family form over then 80% of total single parent family and many of them are the weak in financial things. Especially residential problem of low-income single mother family has appeared upon the field of social problem. It is encouraged for unstable single mother families economically and emotionally to live in residential facilities in order to recover their anxiety. But single mother family has undergone unpleasant prejudice in our country. Besides domestic facilities were established as the shelter for widows and unmarried mothers in post age. In these reason many single mother family avoid entering residential facility. In recent years, however, the tendency that dwellers attach importance to self-sustenance and privacy has rising continually. In addition residential facilities changed into the system supporting private life not protecting one-sidedly. Therefor it is necessary to plan new residential facility in order to accept new type of single mother family-over than 9% of total family.
So, preceding survey including the theoretical consideration and the present condition survey was performed firstly. The theoretical consideration is composed of not only architectural theory but social welfare theory and domestic science. Also direct observation and open- ended interviews has used by the method of condition survey. The target of condition survey is existing facilities, the persons concerned and the dwellers. Especially this study contain the evaluation of dweller's spacial usage through the question-naire. And the question-naire is based on qualitative survey, because the amount of facility and dweller is short to quantitative survey and the dweller's character is so delicate.
Based on collecting data by studying theory and surveying the present condition, design guideline is suggested. Besides the prototype of residential facility is presented. The design guideline is composed of the guidelines of outdoor space, working space, public space, residential space, corridor and passage according to the frame of condition survey. And the development of prototype is divided into several types according scale and children's age.
(1) The design guideline is based on the propriety investigation of legal standard and existing condition survey. So, in this study the improvable matters and alternative proposal is referred according to separate space-outdoor space, working space, public space, residential space, corridor and passage.
(2) The development by the scale of facility is divided in to 20 families' scale, 30 families' scale, over than 40 families' scale. For example 20 families' scale facility has young dwellers relatively and limit upon the size of land. And 30 families' scale facility has various program and program rooms. 40 families' scale facility is located in suburban and has the older dwellers.
(3) Also we can separate the prototype according to children's age. Because the life style of dwellers is very different by the children's age. So, the development of prototype is divided into residential space for the families has young children and the families has adolescent boys and girls.
In the result, this study suggests design guideline and prototype by the scale and children's age. This guideline and prototype will be applied to remodeling of old facility or a new building. And a new building will be built in future style as the model of this study. Theses building works had better be done by the government or community of social welfare. However there are a few limitations of this study. Firstly a former study and precedents isn't sufficient to develope prototype. So this study had to depend on direct observation and open- ended interviews. But it was the good chance to perceive correct usage and the opinions of dwellers. From now on, the study on short-term residential facility for single mother family will be continue since it is worth establishing new house type, public daycare center for children and future welfare facility.
