Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the Urban Design Guidelines for the single-family house district through the post-occupancy satisfaction survey. For the survey, this study had picked Sungnam Pangyo New Town which was planned to build about 2000 single-family houses in the area. The major findings of this study were as follows: the survey found that the residents presented the strong dissatisfactions on the guidelines of defining the house density and the distance between the houses which could impact on their privacy, natural lighting and ventilation. Also, the majority of residents showed the negative responses to the restrictions on the height of fence, front gate and ground level which intimidated the safeness and privacy of their properties, while it intended the openness from the street. The survey also showed the discontent with the restriction of the dwelling use of basement. To sum up, in order to develop the Urban Design Guidelines which could reflect the residents' ever-changing needs, there should be a post-occupancy monitoring system. The system should specially focus on the architectural elements which are related to the issue of privacy, personal health and safety.
