Comfortable and pleasant indoor living environment is inevitable for indoor life quality. However, remarkably increased residential apartments and the number of self-interested people resulted in serious social problems including neighbourhood disputes and conflict. Thus, neighborhood disputes due to apartment noise exposure are not diminishing and continue to be a serious social problem. Up till now from 2014, apartment noise related policies and scheme have remained unchanged, and relevant policy is followed by post-management such as calling for improving community consciousness.
Concerning the issue mentioned above, Korean government unveiled its effort to “relieve elimination disturbances of apartment noise” as one of the 100 Policy Tasks. The Ministry of the Environment reflected strengthening of apartment noise management as part of the Strengthening life-friendly management about noise and vibration. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct research for mitigating the apartment noise disturbances in order to support the policy issues.
Therefore, this study, with the purpose of improving current apartment noiserelated policy, proposes improving measures in structural regulation focused on the small-scale residential facilities so as to prevent apartment noise, and the post-management scheme that enables local government to play pivotal role.
