Analyzing Recovery Effect Factors Among Residents in Public Rental Housing Complexes Across Age Groups - A Focus on Young Adults and Middle-aged Population -

This study aims to examine the current status of facilities in residential environments for young and middle-aged residents within mixed-use public rental housing complexes, focusing on psychological recovery and identifying environmental factors influencing stress reduction. The investigation involved mixed-use public rental housing complexes in Seoul that received green building certification within the last decade, utilizing Roger Uhrich's Supportive Design Theory. To explore factors contributing to residents' psychological stress recovery effects, this study employed Harting's Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS) Measurement Tool, based on Kaplan & Kaplan's Attention Restoration Theory. This tool assessed factors like being away, fascination, compatibility, coherence, and legibility. The research delved into key factors influencing recovery effects on young and middle-aged residents in the housing complexes. Results revealed that, in terms of satisfaction, fascination and compatibility were the most influential factors for the young age group, determined through regression analysis. For the middle-aged group, coherence and being away emerged as the most influential factors. These findings provide groundwork for future detailed planning of recovery and well-being environments tailored to specific age groups of residents.
