Recent reports show that South Korean society is undergoing dramatic changes that may correspond with increasing number of single householders and also decreasing size of average family in urban area. The government introduced urban-life-housing program to solve small-size houses shortage and to meet the demand of single householders’ needs.
To boost supply of urban-life-housing, the government tried to make the Housing Act, relevant laws and other residential construction standards regarding urban-life-housing less strict compared to the general public housing. The construction funding institutions was established by the National Housing Fund. As a result, urban life housing was introduced, which have led to increase of 20,529 households in 2010 and 22,372 households in May 2011.
However, recently there have been problems in urban-life-housing market where small and medium-size construction companies supplied most of urban-life-housing. These companies are facing limited housing supply area and rising housing prices. To solve these problems, the government needs to find solution and develop new expansion strategy.
This study defined that the increasing supply of urban-life-housing can explain with reforming regulatory and improving financing sector for using supply status and result of problem analysis. And this thesis was inspected with business analysis of policy effectiveness.
In financial sector, this study was introduced for expansion of credit PF loans, the National Housing Fund loans, and loans for construction of quasi dwelling. By reforming regulation, it aimed at deregulation of households in the urban-life-housing regarding the construction housing area, urban-life characteristics, land price, and applying different price ceiling depending on the size of housing.
These expansion strategy slightly improves the housing profit margin when market increase to expand PF loan for providing reinforcement. In addition, even if these margins do not consider, PF loans can support to small and medium-sized construction company for overcome to financial problem; therefore, expanding PF loan can effect efficiently to increase supply of urban-life-housing.
In reforming regulation sector, when expanding to householders' maximize number from 300 to 500, the result is slightly improved profit margin. and also if number of size householders increase 500, business expanded scale near the 50 billion won by a large construction company to enter the housing market. Therefore, the problems, which is small and medium-sized companies supply most of urban-life-housing, can solve and supply good quality small house to satisfy single householders.
In this study, after the introduction of urban-life-housing policy and deriving the problems, It has suggested financial support methods and reforming regulation for increasing supply urban-life-housing. Since the urban-life-housing policy is not fully settled in the housing market, the study has limited information to prove that such expansion strategy can lead to an increase of urban-life-housing. In the near future, urban-life-housing system is going to be more stable, and this thesis will be able to explain to expansion supply much specific for the demand and supply of housing in urban-life-housing system.
