Abstract
This thesis deals with the comparative analysis of the development of the Precast Concrete Industrialized Building Method in Japan and South Korea. It examined the factors that led to the development of the Method particular to each country and a consideration of the future direction of the South Korean PC was made. The result shows that the present South Korean PC, as compared to its Japanese counterpart during the same stage of development, has a bigger potential in scale and capability to be developed into a construction technology that will respond to various needs and provide the production supply system being sought for in the Industry. However, the present policy of standardization of mass produced, small scale public housing is not necessarily a desirable direction in so far as its future is concerned.
