Busan area has many hill housings because of its geographical features and historical background.
It can beassumed that the hill housing in Busan has a distinct characteristic because of its own conditions.

The purpose of this study is to classify the types of hill housing based on the site of the Moolmangol-village, Anchang village and Dolsan-village in Busan and to investigate the site condition of the hill housing quantitatively and analytically from a physical and spatial-configurational perspective.

For this study, we defined the criteria for the classification of hill housing types according to the relationship of the housing with the access road and/or the way of entering into the housing, and set up five descriptive variables for the site condition of the housing. Through field survey, all of the housings in three villages were classified by the classification criteria and the five descriptive variables were calculated for each housing. Statistical analysis, such as independence test and correlation test between classification types and ANOVA, T-test between classification types and the descriptive variables were carried out. Finally, we analyzed the site condition of the hill housing through the analysis results.

According to the analysis, first, in all three villages, the housing type with no access road and no yard appear in areas with excellent accessibility and crowded place in the villages. This seems to reflect the orientation of the community in the planning of the dwelling, contrary to general perspective. Second, depending on the geographical conditions of each village, there are differences in how individual housing responds to slope. Third, depending on the shape of the street organized, the relationship between how individual housing overcome slope of junction street and the entrance is different.

The tendency of spatial allocation in this study to be common in each village means that there is a common internal logic in housing planning beyond the physical conditions. This can be seen as an indication of the orientation to the community that the people who formed the hill housing in the Busan area had in common at the time. Also, the differences resulting from the village mean that the characteristics of each village, are reflected in the planning of the housing.
