Land & Housing Research Division carries out studies on the efficient use and management of the limited land sources, and ways to improve the living environment of the country. Since land and housing policies have significant influence on politics, economy, society, and culture, they have become very important factors to determine the quality of life, distribution of wealth, conservation of environment, etc.
However, going through the mass housing supply and financial crisis in the 1990s, there have been the need for a new policy paradigm for the land and housing development. In addition, the impor-tance of transparent land and housing market, and environmental conservation has been recognized with the housing market shifting from supplier-oriented to customer-oriented, and with the rapid change in the global environment: globalization and informatization.
Land & Housing Research Division analyzes and forecasts various changes in the land and housing market, and develops comprehensive policies and methods aiming at reducing the conflicts and prob-lems in the real estate market. In order to settle the housing probprob-lems with low income households, the division tries to build a sense of community and culture among residents. In addition, the division analyzes advanced theories and information, and conducts researches on theories based on Korean models coupled with various training programs.
