Abstract
This research analysis the distinctive characters of KOREAN traditional dwelling in the village of HAHOE, classification of plan type and spatial separation according to men and women's activities. (1) Related to plan type, hahoe's houses have two variations ; One type has a separated space "SARANG-CHE", used only by the men and also used to recieve guests. Another type, dosen't have separated space "SARANG-CHE" and it has basic 3kan (間), 4kan (間), Ltype and doubled type as formal variations. (2) Related to the spatial separation of men and women we can find the following facts : 1) In the separated "SARANG-CHE" space. Following traditional moral codes, upper class houses demand spatial separation between man and woman space, but in some cases, although separation exists, a certain level of flexibility is possible. 2) In the not separated "SARANG-CHE" space. A) "SANGBANG" (room) is used as man's room, but with more complex function than the separated space "SARANG-CHE". B) To get the spatial separation, these houses have distinct features as "SANGBANG-MARU", dividing doors, difefrent entrances, etc.
