A Study on Preference for Shared Housing as an Alternative to College Student Housing Welfare: Focusing on the Seoul Metropolitan Area

Abstract

realistic estimation and market segmentation , and the result showed that 35.7% of respondents had a preference for shared housing. These people were divided into two groups. The first was the younger low-income group who would choose shared housing to reduce housing costs , and the second was the group that valued the social environment and safety aspects of housing. The results demonstrated that shared housing had the potential for providing college students with an alternative with respect to housing costs , safety , and social exchange. In addition , remodeling existing housing for multi-person households as shared housing would contribute toward urban regeneration through the management of existing housing stock.
