A Study on the Types of Frontage Space in Aptment Complexes and Residents’ Perceptions

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the types of frontage space as public open spaces in apartment complexes and the perceptions of residents about them. To this end, the types of open spaces in apartment complexes were examined, and the types of sidewalk-type frontage space were classified. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there were many sidewalk-type frontage spaces without sidewalks, which are publicly owned, and there were also many pedestrian spaces divided into public and private land. In addition, a survey was conducted to examine how residents perceive sidewalk-type frontage spaces. As a result of the survey, most of the residents did not know that the sidewalk-type frontage spaces were private lands, so it was confirmed that there was a possibility of a problem afterwards. Therefore, even if a sidewalk-type frontage spaces are planned, it is necessary to ensure that residents are fullly aware of the fact, and for this, surface rights must be established in the frontage spaces.
