This study attempts to look into how and with what architectural aspects urban Hanok (traditional Korean-style houses) responded to the housing market of the 1970s, when the focus was brought to the distribution of new types of housing such as modern detached houses and apartments. The target of the study was 2504 Namsan-dong Jung-gu Daegu, where Hanok in a similar type were aggregated on typical lots among the existing areas of aggregated Hanok.
Raw data such as land registration maps and land registers were analyzed to look into the process of construction of the lots of 2504 Namsan-dong. Large lots reclassified from fields to plots came to have a typical look passing through the process of plot division based on a few times of planning and the legal system. To look into details of changes of ownership in this process, a single owner transferred a number of owners after the process of plot division, which can be interpreted that developers intervened in the process of construction of the lots.
Later on, to look into existing Hanok built on the typical lots, inner room, its plane was arranged in ‘an L-shape,’ basically consisting of four spaces, including a main room, a main floored room, a kitchen and a room. Total construction area and length of the room in each Hanok were mostly similar and standardized. However, they can be classified by the number of divisions of the compartment in the kitchen and main floored room in basic plane configuration. Also, compared to the date of permission of construction, the transfer of ownership was in very fast progress, and there was no regularity found in classifying the types of the plane according to the relocation period. This is because unlike the existing urban Hanok developed in groups and sold to buyers, those in 2504 Namsan-dong followed group development, but it is assumed that the buyers were recruited in advance, and those were planned reflecting their opinions in detail. Lastly, as a result of measurement of the sizes of detailed members of the buildings, most of the houses shared the same sized, and this appears to be the standardization and supply of members considering economic feasibility. In addition, these Hanok reflected the then legal sand housing policies, and at the same time, used double eaves to increase value of commodities or added the height of the roof by adding a temporary structure to the roof top though being a three corridor type. This can be regarded as an attempt for an advanced strategy in order to consider economic feasibility and meet all needs to maintain the dignity of Hanok.

As above, this study has looked into architectural features of the process of constructing the lots in 2504 Namsan-dong and Hanok built on that. Although it started from a microscopic point of view, it has significance that it suggested another case of urban Hanok developed in groups and distributed based on systematic planning claiming an advanced strategy.
