For Ulsan, most national rental housings have been constructed at not the southern area where the residents prefer the educational and environmental conditions but the northen area and Ulju-gun close by industrial complexes. Since the national rental housing in Ulsan has enough green zone and parking lots which the residents value much of, the satisfaction level of the resident is high. But the residents feel inconvenience for the usage of public transportation. It corresponds with the result of research for the residental satisfaction level aimed at 16 complexes in Ansan and Sangdong complex in Bucheon. It shows that most national rental housings are built at the place with the low regional demand and the moderate price of land. For example, they are built at the outskirts of a city, the rural area in a city, a greenbelt zone, etc. where the infrastructure is insufficient. It is inevitable to reside in a city to maintain the existing sphere of life, but a low-income group moves to the rural area for residence. Even though it is reasonable for a low-income group to use public transportation more than a private car, the transportation system for them has not been completed. This can be regarded as a lack of the local government's positive will for improving public transportation system. Through this, we can see that the support of the local government for the national rental housing policy.
As a result of research, the residents of Ulsan are generally satisfied with the housing size and the number of rooms. In order to realize the policy of a million public rental housing construction, however, it is necessary to diversify the size of the housing.
While the residents of natioal rental housing in the Metropolitan area are satisfied with convenient facilities, those in Ulsan are not satisfied on the whole. That is why all national rental housings in Ulsan are included in the zone for land readjustment project where any convenient facilities are not newly constructed. To improve this, the local government shall attract public facilities such as municipal kindergartens, medical facilities, etc. around the zone. Then, the effective value of national rental housing will be able to rise and the image to be reconsidered.
The residents are generally satisfied with the internal environment of the national rental housing. It means that the finishing materials are better than expected, not that the quality in the interior is better than other kinds. It is important to increase public rental housings quantitatively. In addition, continuous efforts are required to improve them in quality.
According to this research, the residents of public rental housing consider the rent as a heavy burden which is the main reason of movement. Their request is to cut the monthly rent or to convert the rent to guaranty money. To relieve the burden on low-income group without any legal assistance and supplier, the government shall raise the financial rate.
Considering that the residents are included to the low-income group, the government shall support management expenses. For original rental housing, the government shall settle the countermeasure for relieving the rent or effective management like the precedent to compensate management expenses with the rent of shopping mall.
Due to the difficulties in enlarging the assistance of finance and public housing fund, it is hard to solve the problem of the residential satisfaction improvement. In order to improve the residential satisfaction, however, the policy for housing shall be converted and housing shall be improved in quality.
