This study aimed to grasp the state of actual development and usage of community facilities for healthy elderly(Gyonrodang) in Seoul, and to obtain basic knowledge for planning facilities with functions to support healthy elderly. A questionnaire survey and non-participant survey were conducted to achieve as follows.
1) In Seoul, about 70 percent of the more than 3,000 facilities are privately owned. It is characterized by the fact that many private facilities are controlled by public institutions.
2) In this facilities, the elderly were not only supported by a variety of supporters, but also supported each other at times.

    This study explores the relation between sports mega-events and the making of Gangnam in South Korea after the 1980s. This paper comprises a historical examination of urban planning processes and a case study focusing on the strategies and experiences of residents who has been purchasing apartments. The hosting of 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympics triggered construction business, such as urban infrastructure and increasing housing supply. In particular, Jam-sil, Seoul was the site of huge construction projects that entailed the main stadium, Olympic parks, and athletesʼ villages. The structure of housing supply has a shift from state-led development to property-led development, namely, the Joint Redevelopment Program (JRP). The term Gangnamization is a concept used to describe a strong relationship among apartment, education fever, and shopping center for the urban middle class. However, the research results suggest that speculative urbanization in urban middle class will lead to a financial crisis.

タネの図書館は1970年代以降，世界中で多く設置・運営されているインフォーマルシードシステムの一部である．欧米では［コミュニティ・シードバンク」と呼ばれていることも多い．タネの図書館が持つ機能と管理システムは国，地域，構成メンバーにより様々であるが，タネ保存という目的は共通している． 本研究では韓国におけるタネの図書館の特徴と，タネの図書館のインフォーマルシードシステムにおける位置づけを,現地調査と聞き取りにより明らかにし， 種子システムの全体の新しい理解と展開を示した． 韓国において1997年に起きた金融危機により，有力な国内種苗会社のほとんどが多国籍企業に買収され，韓国の作物遺伝資源も海外の多国籍企業に渡ることになった．2008年には米韓FTAが締結され，食への関心が高まり，食料主権・種子主権など権利意識が芽生えた．そのため，韓国のタネの図書館ではタネを保存することを食料主権運動と考えており，社会的な問題と関わっていると考えている．国際的な動向からみると韓国のタネの図書館はNGOでありながら，行政からの支援を受け入れると共に活動における官民協力が密接に行われていることから「セミフォーマルシードシステム」であると評価した．最近では，韓国のタネの図書館は食料主権とタネに関する伝統知識の保存と未来への伝達という新しい目的を元に活動しており，新しいインフォーマルシードシステムの展開につながる新しい動向であると考える．

 GOSIWON refers to a type of quasi-housing in Korea that has been mainly used by students who are studying before taking the GOSI (Public employee recruitment test). The facilities began to appear in the late 1960s, and they are a type of accommodation that provides a space for learning. For their residents, GOSIWON offer just a single private room, with a shared toilet and kitchen. The single rooms have restricted space, and they carry safety risks with respect to such disasters as fires. Accordingly, GOSIWON have shortcomings as places of residence. However, since the 1990s, GOSIWON have spread throughout Seoul owing to their residential purpose. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Fire & Disaster Headquarters, there were about 6,240 GOSIWON in Seoul in 2015, offering about 250,000 rooms. In Seoul, there are GOSIWON dense area which is called GOSICHON.

 The present study undertook a basic survey of architectural planning for GOSIWON and GOSICHON in Seoul. This is the first attempt to make such an investigation. We analyzed changes in the location and residential functions of GOSIWON since their inception through to the present. We also present details of the historical background to those changes.

 First, using advertising information in GOSIGE (“Examination magazine for public employee”), we divided the transition of GOSIWON by period. Details of our procedure appears in section 2 of this paper. The first period is from 1960 to 1970s. We clarify that is the occurrence period of GOSIWON. Second is from 1980 to 1990s. That is the establishment period of GOSIWON. And after 1995, we refer to that is the transformation period of GOSIWON.

 Second, using GIS tools in section 3, we identify the distribution of GOSIWON in Seoul. Initially, GOSIWON were scattered mainly in old downtown areas (such as the Dongdaemun, Seodaemun, and Jongno districts); however, from around 1975, they tended to be concentrated in Gwanak. Subsequently, GOSIWON became distributed throughout Seoul. Large number of GOSIWON began to concentrate in the Sillim area of Gwanak district, and such areas with many GOSIWON became known as GOSICHON. Today, GOSIWON are largely found in certain areas, such as Gwanak, Dongjak, Gangnam, Dongdaemun, Seodaemun, and Yeongdeungpo.

 Finally, we clarify the changes that have taken place in the spatial composition and specifications of GOSIWON. We do that in section 5 by analyzing advertisement information in GOSIGE.

 For their residents, GOSIWON provide a single private room as well a common space. The area of the single room in GOSIWON varies depending on the location.

 GOSIWON offer a communal space for eating, sleeping, and studying for students facing examinations, and that has been a key factor in their development since they first appeared. As a result, GOSIWON came to feature such areas as kitchens, study rooms, and shower rooms. However, since the 1980s, some GOSIWON have been lacking such basic facilities. Subsequently, differences began to emerge between GOSIWON located in Seoul and those in other locations.

 We regard the next step for research to be a study of existing GOSIWON in Seoul. It is also necessary to examine improvement measures and related issues concerning the future development of GOSIWON as residential facilities.
