The Cronbach s alpha test

The Cronbach׳s alpha test for reliability was conducted with the research questionnaire. The test yielded a value of 0.856, which means that the sections require no revision. According to George and Mallery (2003), no revision is required for a questionnaire if the value is 0.7 and above.
Results and discussions
Conclusions and implications of the study The predictive power of the regression model in the level of satisfaction was determined to be relatively low, with an R2 value of 0.382. This value indicates that although the level of participation significantly predicts the level of residential satisfaction in this context, its predictive power is low. Nevertheless, the relationship between them is absolute because the p value is 0.000. Moreover, a high level of participation is likely to lead to a high level of satisfaction. To enhance the level of residential satisfaction, more attention should be paid to the level of participation in the house design process, particularly in deciding the number of bedrooms in the house, selecting the types of finishes, general design of the house, development of the brief, and arrangement of interior spaces. An implication of this finding is that when residents are involved in deciding the number of bedrooms in their houses, residential satisfaction is enhanced. However, the same cannot be said for the level of participation in selecting the type of building materials and deciding the sizes of the spaces according to the findings of this study. The results could be different in another context.

Introduction Approximately 50 years after the 1962 construction of Mapo Apartments, which can be regarded as the first fully fledged apartment complex in South Korea, apartments have been established as a representative housing type in the country. In Korea, collective housing units are called apartments, whether they apexbio dilution are rented or owned by the occupants. Apartments compose 59% (Korea Statistics, 2015) of houses in South Korea, regardless of region, family type, or social status. A housing culture is created by the will of a society and is formed by social, economic, and natural factors; materials, technology, and institutional and regulatory acts also shape the housing culture (Son, 1993). Owing to the uniform development to maximize economic efficiency, apartments have been fixed into large-scale, high-rise, flat-type, or tower-type complexes fruit face south (Park, 2004). As alternatives to the uniform apartment complexes, courtyard apartment types, such as Eunpyeong New Town, have been attempted. In South Korea, however, courtyard apartments almost disappeared after being experimentally constructed in the 1960–1970s when apartment houses were introduced. Since the area of apartments facing south in courtyard-type structures is much smaller compared to linear types, such as the ǀ-form and ˥-form, courtyard apartment types ran counter to the tendency of preferring houses that face south. Courtyard apartments began to disappear thereafter. The research method consists of classification and qualitative analysis through a literature survey and field survey. The field survey is conducted in parallel with the literature survey. Non-existent cases collect data through the literature. Sixteen courtyard apartments constructed in the 1960s and 1970s were identified by previous studies, and 13 cases were inferred to be courtyard apartments through maps. Seven cases were studied in detail by the field survey. The present study is composed as follows. In Section 2, theories of modern collective housing are discussed. In Section 3, comprehensive analyses of the types of courtyard apartments are conducted. In Section 4, the examined case of a courtyard apartment is explained. Finally, in Section 5, the meaning of the present study is examined in the conclusion.
