Effects of Hotspot and Household Attributes of Young Households in Seoul Metropolitan Area

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of residential hotspot and changes in household attributes on residential satisfaction among young households residing in Seoul Metropolitan Area. To achieve the goals, the dependent variable, residential satisfaction, was divided into housing satisfaction and resident environmental satisfaction using data from the Housing Conditions Survey. To address the heterogeneity in the characteristics of young households between concentrated and non-concentrated areas, propensity score matching was applied; an ordinal logit model was employed to examine their effects on residential satisfaction of young households. The research revealed that young people residing in condcentrated areas or hotspots exhibited higher satisfaction level, suggesting they benefit from the advantages of agglomeration, such as a sense of community and youth-friendly elements. In addition, marital and employment status of young households positively influenced residential satisfaction; however, housing characteristics of young households did not affect residential satisfaction. These results suggest the need to reexamine youth housing based on past data, to newly identify the needs of young households, and to redesign housing and residential environments suitable for these needs.
