In Seoul, the capital of South Korea, developers of apartment complexes are responsible for including communityfacilities – senior citizen centers, child care centers, small libraries, and so forth – according to the current Regulationson the Housing Construction Standard Article 2 and 55. These standards have long required certain community facilities,depending on the number of households in each apartment complex, without fully considering whether such provisionsmeet that community’s needs. In this study, we aimed to reveal whether the current provision of community facilities respondsto local preference. We conducted surveys of residents in randomly selected ten apartment complexes in Seoul to determineresidents’ preferences on community facilities using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). We then compared the surveyresults with these complexes’ current facilities. Our findings showed mismatches between residents’ preferences andprovisions: outdoor sports facilities, child care centers, and small libraries were found to be strongly preferred, but notprovided in some apartment complexes within the study, whereas less-preferred facilities such as senior citizen centerswere provided in all complexes. Through this study, we could conclude that current standards regarding the provision ofcommunity facilities in Seoul’s apartment complexes should be altered to reflect the preferences of residents in apartmentcomplexes.
