주거공간에서의 식물효과에 관한 연구

Abstract

To humans, residental space is a space for existence and the base to lead a life, and thus, the most intimate space. As a place where most of living activities are occurring, the living space should be a space in which humans can stay comfortably in physically, mentally and socially healthy state. However, the rapid industrialization and urbanization of the modern society have brought about residential problems, traffic problems, environmental problems, etc. And these problems have caused humans to suffer from mental, physical and other illnesses. In an effort to recover from this suffering, interests regarding to harmonious coexistence with the nature and environmentally friendly residental spaces have recently been on the rise. Plants provide various materials that are necessary for the living of humans and they also provide a beautiful and pleasant environment. In this paper, the expected beneficial effects and value of plants in the residental space are examined. Through this study, we hope to establish the necessary basic framework that can be put to practical use in the design of residental spaces in which the quality of life for humans can be improved and comfortable living can be pursued.
