The most remarkable transition flow in apartment complex is that housing penetration is over 100% since year 2002, unsold apartments increased since year 2003 and reached 112,254 houses by the end of 2007, and reached 155,720 houses by October 2008. This indicates one of the reasons that the market is shifting from provider dominated market which provider determines price and quality etc., to customer dominated market which customer determines price and quality etc. In customer dominated market, provider should precisely comprehend customer's requirements, expectation value, and reflect them into their products and services so they can be selected.
Comprehending customer's expectation value makes construction industry to ensure competitiveness thru differentiation of development and providing products and services. It is also very important for the industry to comprehend expectation value because the industry can provide customer more opportunity to acquire differentiated products and services thru competition of construction companies.
Derivation of housing satisfaction factors, measuring and analysis on these factors is the major methods to comprehend customer's expectation value. Resident satisfaction appraisal or National customer satisfaction index appraisal from Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM) are the major methods. Appraisal items used in these methods consist of physical factors of customer experience after move-in, and service factors of inside and outside household, inside complex and after-services, etc.
By the way, resident satisfaction is attained not only after move-in but thru all the courses from information collection step for purchase to actual living after move-in. This is the reason to consider the resident satisfaction factors prior to move-in.
This research, accordingly, measures resident satisfaction factors experienced by customers of apartment residents at all steps from pre-move in stage to actual living, and analyze the level of influence. Analysis was made to influencing factors of resident satisfaction by location, age, and size of apartments. This enabled segmentation and realization of customer's expectation value in detail. The ultimate goal of this report is to contribute improving resident satisfaction for apartment residents, and provide basic information for construction companies with basic information on products and services to meet customer's expectation value.
This research adopts following methods to analyze the influences to resident satisfaction caused by customer life-cycle factors.
In first chapter, as an introduction, we set research background and purpose, and it's method and scope.
In second chapter, we looked over the moment of truth and evaluation of residence satisfaction of some residents and other organization, with the related theories and consideration of previously conducted study.
In third chapter, we compare the activity area of construction company and client's life-cycle, and then derived impact factors and some measurement points ,in order to develop method to measure the residence satisfaction considered with client's life-cycle.
In fourth chapter, we defined the study model by designing to measure impact factor of residence satisfaction and conducted a survey.
In fifth chapter, as an analysis steps, we used SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) 12.0 for Windows and dealt with them statistically for actual analysis of study model. The flow of analysis is like the following order : Frequency Analysis, Descriptive Statistics Analysis, Reliability Analysis, T-test, Correlation Analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis.
Furthermore, we conducted several analysis such as T-test, correlation analysis classified by factor, multiple regression analysis, to verify difference of impact factors on client life-cycle according to region, age, pyung-hyung(Korean unit).
In sixth chapter, conclusion step, we can derive conclusion through previously conducted research and analysis result of actual examination. In addition, through the analysis result, we could mention strategy to secure residence satisfaction and the limitation of research, and suggest the direction of future research.
