The basic purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness on the subjects by analyzing housing welfare business subjects. This study suggested direction to develop housing welfare business policy in a better way and to improve quality of life for the subjects realistically by examining housing problem in our society and development process of housing welfare policy which has been gone through development process after Korean war on the analysis of how much outcomes have been accomplished for various purposes.
As a result of exploring previous researches, many foreign literatures emphasized on independency based on housing stabilization for the objects. Headed by local autonomous entities, development and implementation of this housing welfare program are in progress in Korea. This is the procedure for subjects to become healthy members of the society and to maintain livelihood independently by offering housing and supporting methods, which provides several implications for housing welfare policy as follows.
First, the housing welfare policy under the supervision of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has effected quantitatively(exceeded housing supply ratio 100%), nevertheless it has limitation to allocate equally according to high population density of large cities and capital regions.
Second, since physical housing supply alone with construction cannot solve intrinsic problems of housing welfare, housing supply needs other solutions.
Third, although the subjects are stabilized naturally according to housing supply, the problem solving is not limited to providing housing stabilization. Because housing problem of today is involved with various issues including income, home, and disability, customized service of support should be accompanied.
Fourth, consequently, supporting plans to become independent life through maintenance of housing stabilization should be provided.
Fifth, as foreign literatures demonstrated that subjects' income was increased with implementation of self-supporting program and motivation like ‘house ownership’ was occurred, some regions(Gwangju and Busan) in Korea are developing and operating customized family self-supporting program, requiring spreading with this effect in the government level.
Meanwhile, as result of analyzing more factors to effectiveness related to independency in housing stabilization for social welfare subjects, subjects with higher possibility of independency and self-supportiveness are presented as follows.
First, this study identified subjects with housing stability who successfully adjust to housing for a certain period of time. Most of subjects tend to be stabilized after moving in. Accordingly, welfare program should be linked along with housing supply at the same time.
Second, the effect of program showed relatively high relation with subjects at the age of high probability for employment because they can accumulate incomes for longer period. However, there were few subjects to earn fixed income in this study because most were daily and contingent workers. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to employment environment with assistance to work more stable environment.
Third, it is necessary for subjects to get information on independency and self-supportiveness. The subjects linked to social welfare program of local community have more chance to obtain job information and job offer. Otherwise, it is required to induce local community to offer the program to subjects.
Fourth, while the subjects with family have more desire for independency and self-supportiveness, the subjects in old age group deliver the effects of program to their children. The self-supporting program should be available to every member of the subjects.
Lastly, these determinant factors are useful to select the subjects with high probability of independency and self-supportiveness in regards to the effects of housing welfare business. The subjects excluded from welfare program should be offered with fair opportunity. Our society today is also undergoing unemployment. It is time to provide various systems to support independency and self-supportiveness of the subjects. It is needed to provide welfare support systems of step-by-step process leading to independency. According to the concept change in welfare, proper delivery system should be constructed for supply of public area, demand of objects, and support of private area, which may aid to return housing disadvantaged class to society and to supplement housing problems in our society.
In conclusion, this study is meaningful in that it suggests necessity to support public and private areas based on the analysis of the factors to select the subjects with high probability submitting self-supporting plan in welfare policy of general housing supply.
