Characteristics of the Quality of Korean High-Rise Apartments Using the Health Performance Indicator
The purpose of this study was to apply health performance indicators to actual apartments in order to evaluate the health performance of high-rise and high-density Korean apartments and their environment. In addition, this study analysed factors that are perceived as affecting the residents’ satisfaction. To this end, two apartment complexes that are in a similar location and environment, but with a 10-year difference in their age, were examined and evaluated. Both apartment complexes were assessed as healthy in all dimensions, but unhealthy in the attribute of information management in the managerial dimension. The study also identified that residents were positive and enthusiastic about the performance evaluation. Both groups of residents responded positively and showed satisfaction with their housing environment with no significant differences between the two groups. However, using different evaluation dimensions and attributes could affect their observed satisfaction levels based on residence duration. Therefore, in order for these apartments to be recorded as healthy environments, evaluation indicators would need to be validated and illustrate a healthy housing quality, which reflects the characteristics and current status. The evaluation results can then be utilised to develop guidelines to manage and maintain healthy housing environments for apartments.
