Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to focus on the residential environment plan that alleviates the difficulties of parenting, and to suggest the direction for the future plan for the creation of a parenting-friendly residential complex in Seoul. Research design, data and methodology: The concept of child-rearing and child-rearing-friendly housing, keyword analysis, and the relationship between child-rearing grievances and parenting-friendly residential complexes were examined, and cases of child-rearing-friendly residential complexes in Korea were reviewed. In addition, through the housing policy to respond to the low birthrate of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and reduce child-rearing difficulties, the direction of creating a parenting-friendly residential complex was suggested in the future. Results: The certification system for child-rearing friendly housing in Seoul is conducted by evaluating and certifying 3 major areas, 8 areas, and 43 detailed items. Out of the total items, 11 mandatory items and 10 optional items are required for newly built apartments, and 11 mandatory items and 3 optional items are required for existing apartments. The certification target includes both new construction and existing apartments, and there are three types of certification: preliminary certification, main certification (completed apartment after preliminary certification, existing apartment), and maintenance certification (3 years after main certification). When the building owner or the chairman of the residents' representative association submits the relevant documents to the autonomous district under jurisdiction, the certification of the child love home, which is composed of experts in the field of parenting-friendly architecture and care, confirms the certification through an examination such as review of design drawings and on-site inspections. Conclusions: The creation of a parenting friendly residential complex was presented in the following directions. First, we need to raise awareness of respect for orphanages and children's rights. Second, it is necessary to involve parents, children, and local residents in raising children. Third, child rearing-friendly residential complexes need to share parenting experiences and form a human network that can provide emergency support if necessary. Fourth, there is a need for a counseling professional for childcare support. Most childcare households have one or more children. Fifth, it is necessary to establish a delivery system for childcare support with the local community.
