Abstract: This study is focused on facilitating the government to work out a more successful low-income housing policy by supplying the housing preference of the houseless households who are the future target group of the government low-income housing policy. Guidelines and implications of the apartment housing are given, inferred by the evaluation of the impact of the low-income apartment housing in Seoul, Korea. In this study, housing is presented as a system consisting of four subsystems, which in turn are composed of relevant subcomponents. It describes the existing housing conditions and the housing preference for each housing component, identifies the key housing preference patterns in housing choice and installation choice and main variables affecting them, and evaluates the impact of the low-income apartment housing on the basis of level of satisfaction and attitudes of the occupants and non-occupants. Housing preference was described by simple statistics. In finding out the main preference patterns, quantification method III developed by C. Hayashi, which is a factor analytical method, was employed. For extracting the key variables influencing the preference patterns, quantification method I was applied, which was also developed by C. Hayasi. The modal preference patterns which were found are location-oriented preference, convenience-oriented preference and general-housing-condition oriented preference in the housing choice, and financial-oriented preference, space oriented preference and general-facility-oriented preference in house installation choice. The key variables affecting the location-oriented preference were number of family members and key money convenience oriented preference, number of rooms and financial-oriented preference, level of education and monthly saving. In evaluating the impact of the low-income apartment housing, four areas, level of satisfaction with each housing component, habitability at the housing system level, moving motivation and attitudes towards the housing were ana
