주택법 ․ 정책의 환경변화와 입법방향

Abstract

Korean housing policy has various problems related to residence stability. The perception that the existing housing policy is in need of a fundamental change is spreading due to the environmental change of the housing market. Indeed, the legislative policy on housing should be promoted in line with environmental changes while revising the ‘supply side’ housing policy, which was introduced during the period marking an excessive boom of the housing market, and absolute shortages of housing inventory in the past. Also, the housing policy has put emphasis on housing price stability while repeating regulation strengthening and deregulation as well as supply expansion by differing in the keynote of policy every time there is the governmental replacement. However, the follow-up housing policy should be converted in the direction of promoting residence stability through the qualitative switch of housing policy, supply expansion of public rental housing, re-examination of price regulation of apartments, transfer of the three laws related to real estate under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and actualization of the Clause on the right to housing in time of the revision of the Constitution, etc. in line with the housing market environment where possession and residence continue to exist. In addition, required is a legislative-policy-based examination about how to include studio apartments, and accommodations for applicants for examinations where a 1~2 member household lives as practical housing, and how to properly manage them in light of the living culture circumstances of the times where a 1~2 member household is transformed into a standard household. Hereupon, this study looked into the structural change of the housing market, Housing Act, and related policies, etc., and made a proposal from the eyes of a publicist with focus on the legislative task to be rationally improved in the follow-up housing policy.
