Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to make clear a relationship between ANBANG and GOSILU in present apartment houses, compared with detached houses in terms of modernization process on the way of living in Korea. The data of 125 cases were gathered from the field survey of condominium type apartment houses in Seoul and Pusan on summer, 1988. The results are as follows; 1) In comparison with detached houses, the composition of plan for apartment houses is more akin to the LDK plan type that has clear division between public and private space. 2) Concernig the way of living, ANBANG is transforming to main bedroom, and GOSILU to living room. On that point, apartment houses are more modernizing than detached houses. 3) However, ANBANG is still used as a guest room as to receiving formal guests. There remains partially an ambivalent character in ANBANG in terms of modernization.
