This study analyzes the migration patterns of the youth population in declining population areas and the factors of migration to outside the metropolitan regions. The results show that quality jobs are an important factor for youth migration in declining population areas. They moved to places with a high diversity of jobs in the professional, scientific, and technical fields that young people prefer. In addition, the number of cafes for daily needs of young people had a positive effect on youth migration. Moreover, youth policies and networks such as youth-friendly small and medium-sized enterprises and youth support centers in outside the metropolitan regions were important factors in youth migration. A youth-friendly corporate culture that provides job security, work-life balance, and a favorable working environment for young people has a positive impact on youth migration. This is also true for small and medium-sized cities in outside the metropolitan regions, with youth migrating to areas with more youth-friendly mid-sized and small businesses. Considering the youth population migration patterns and regional characteristics of outside the metropolitan regions, this study suggests regional policy implications for cooperation and linkages among regions.

UAM vertiport may have a problem constructing on an unnecessary area if the location selection criteria are not prepared at an early stage. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a basic study on the factors affecting the proper location selection of vertiport in preparation for the commercialization of urban air traffic system. This study derived the main variables affecting UAM demand. This study presents the evaluation index when constructing the UAM transfer system in the future, and it is important to quantitatively calculate the weights of each influential factor. The first variable was summarized by examining previous studies related to the location and transfer of UAM vertiport. FGI was conducted for experts in each related field, and the final factors were selected and stratified. To calculate the importance of the factors, a survey was conducted for 15 experts and weights were calculated by AHP. As a result of the analysis, it is necessary to first review the installation of UAM vertiport in urban infrastructure for better railway route linkage. Also, areas that can activate urban space should be considered in priority for the installation of vertiports rather than traffic congestion areas. In terms of social acceptability, it is necessary to review the areas where noise and user safety can be considered at the same time.

This study examined the spatial characteristics of Starbox stores through exploratory factor analysis that discovers detailed spatial components based on the spatial experience experienced by visitors to Starbucks general stores. As a result of the analysis, a total of five factors were grouped and derived, and each factor was named as ‘culture/artistry’, ‘five senses/hospitality’, ‘behavior/psychology’, ‘taste/hardware’, and ‘lead/pandemic’. Through exploratory factor analysis based on the visitor's experience, the significance of this study was able to identify the cause of continuous visits to Starbucks stores and infer detailed components related to Starbucks' third place, which shows a commercialized space but differentiated place. This is a strategic projection of Starbucks' corporate philosophy and ideology into space and place, and it is judged that this positioning is perceived and experienced by the visitor group through five senses.It is judged that these attributes will be a very important space and place strategy for commercial real estate, especially retail real estate, which requires continuous visits. As a future research topic, the factors derived through exploratory factor analysis are independent variables, and it is necessary to measure dependent variables for visitor satisfaction and revisit intention, and to analyze visitors by group to examine the differences.nalyze visitors by group to examine the differences.

The aim of the study is to examine the determinants of housing gap speculation from 2017 to 2020. Housing price have steeply increased last 5 years in Korea. The median apartment sale prices in the Seoul Metropolitan Areas (SMAs) increased by about 60.5% from about 370 million won in 2017 to about 590 million won in 2021. Housing policy makers believe that young people who cannot afford to buy a house with their own income and assets entered the housing market through gap speculation, and thereby housing prices skyrocketed with increasing housing effective demand. Therefore, various demand-side strategies have been applied to curb speculative demand. Extensive financial borrowing restrictions and increase in tax, nevertheless, have not stopped the rise in housing prices. This study focuses on what gap speculation is and what characteristics gap speculators have. Theoretically, it can be conceptualized as buying a house on a cheonsei contract ― a kind of rental agreement, but a unique Korean way to rent a house with only a long-term and large deposit ― for the purpose of capital gains without a plan to live there. From the empirical study, we can find several things as follows. Contrary to the stereotype about young speculators, gap speculator tends to increase with age. They can be estimated as a group that are low-income groups compared to renters or homeowners but increase savings by reducing current consumption for future consumption. Their net assets are relatively high, but they reduce housing costs by living in small, old, and poor places. It implies that actual gap speculators can be not general speculators, but can be those who really need affordable places to live in someday.

In this study, we examined factors determining residential environment satisfaction among older adults living alone. We classified older adults into three age-based groups to pinpoint which neighborhood characteristics influenced their satisfaction levels. For the early-age group (65-74 years), access to healthcare facilities significantly enhanced satisfaction with their residential environment. For those in the mid-age (75-84 years) and late-age (85 years and older) groups, the availability of public transportation had a positive effect on satisfaction. For the late-age group, security and crime prevention improved satisfaction levels significantly. Based on these findings, we offer policy recommendations to facilitate aging in place for older adults living alone.

The urban regeneration project in a public competition supported the majungmul project(as CPR). Study area as ChangshinSungin is a sewing center industrial area with various stakeholders. In the analysis of this study, citizen participation without communication between stakeholders was found to be exclusion from governance and exclusion of residents, and this was reflected in the project results. The cause was that the conflict was difficult to mediate due to the passive attitude of the public-led field support center, and the resident council failed to form a consensus with the citizen (sewing workers), leading to the result of PIMFY. In order for ‘the public-led citizenparticipatory urban regeneration project’ to resolve conflicts well, the collaboration of stakeholders according to regional characteristics rather than performance should be the basis.

This study attempted to derive the factors of the Lifestyle Convergence Shopping Mall and to analyze the impact of the factors derived through the study on User’s Experience of Place. First, the result of the analysis revealed that the three key factors of the Lifestyle Convergence Shopping Mall are‘Place with Identity,’ ‘Trendy Merchandising’, and ‘Distinctive spatial Design’. A place with cultural⋅leisure⋅relaxation with the symbolic motif of ‘Nature’ and with a creative and distinctive spatial design that are systematically connected to a display of trendy merchandising, and which presents a joyful Malling with unique identity are the factors of the Lifestyle Convergence Shopping Mall. Second, it is confirmed that the aforementioned three key factors have a positive impact on the Users’ Attractiveness, Satisfaction and Healing of the place and willingness to Revisit and Recommendation according to the result of the multiple regression analysis of the impact of the factors of the Lifestyle Convergence Shopping Mall on Users’ Experience of Place. It is also proved that the three key factors directly or indirectly affect Users’ Experience of Place even in the analysis by generation, SNS usage, visiting experience, and monthly personal income.

Cultural districts are designated according to the unique cultural characteristics of the region and cultural resources worth preserving. Each cultural district must be managed and operated so that it can develop on its own, but a comprehensive management and operation method is established in each local government. Therefore, while respecting the unique characteristics of the district, it is necessary to continuously develop and nurture the cultural district through active participation and support. Each cultural district has a different management system, problems, and improvement plans according to its characteristics, and in managing a cultural district, it is necessary to establish a management system suitable for the characteristics of each cultural district, and to continuously manage and improve it.

As part of a strategic response to address the problems caused by population aging and urbanization, the World Health Organization recommends the creation of Age-Friendly Cities. This study examined the relationship between satisfaction with age-friendly urban environment elements for Aging in Place based on the 2023 Seoul Survey Urban Policy Indicators. Age groups were divided into young, middle-aged, and elderly groups, and generalized ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to analyze differences between groups. The results showed that environment, safety, and transportation were common factors affecting the intention to continue to reside in all groups among age-friendly urban environment factors. This is an empirical analysis result that shows that improving the physical environment has a positive effect on the intention to continue to reside in all age groups, suggesting the need for comprehensive urban planning to create an urban environment where all generations can continue to reside.
