The Study on Residential Preference of Residents Living at Public Housing for Child-Rearing Households

Abstract

This paper identifies residential preference of child-rearing households based on questionnaire and interview survey. The results of this paper are as follows : 1) Child-rearing households tend to move in the same area, and in area well-known; 2) Single parent households tend to value the education environment and local community; 3) Working single parent households tend to value the proximity of housing, a school and a workplace to improve efficiency of commuting and taking their children to school; 4) Child-rearing households with children aged 0to2, 3to5, and schoolchildren tend to value housing performance, educational environment, and children's school and friendship, respect.

There is a tendency for households to relocate when their children enter elementary school (six years old or older) to find a suitable educational environment for their children (Cho et al, 2019). If the same kind of change is occurring in the station sphere, it can be inferred that the priority of accessibility to public transportation is not that high.…”
