Theme B: Creating a livable, healthy and environmentally viable citiesInteraction with neighboursA correlation between the physical characteristics of common spaces in superhigh-rise mixed-use housing, and residents’ interaction with their neighbours wasanalyzed, indicating that there was no direct correlation.LeisureA correlation between the physical characteristics of super high-rise mixed-usehousing and residents’ well-being was analyzed, indicating that accessibility tosemi-public spaces had a direct correlation with residents’ use of leisure (Table 5).The fact that there is a correlation between accessibility to semi-public spaces andresidents’ use of leisure proves that people today are changing their leisure intohome-oriented one (Shin Yeong-suk, 1996). Thus, the location of semi-publicspaces in the complexes and accessability to them are an important element inconnection with residents’ use of leisure.Safety/SecurityA correlation between the physical characteristics of semi-public spaces in superhigh-rise mixed-use housing and residents’ well-being was analyzed, indicatingthat the comfortability in semi-public spaces had a direct correlation withresidents’ safety and security (Table 7). This analysis is consistent with thetheories postulated by Newman, Holahan, and Wood, suggesting that semi-publicspaces in super high-rise mixed-use housing involve a defense function of semipublicspace.Outdoor AmenityA correlation between the physical characteristics of semi-public spaces of superhigh-rise mixed-use housing and residents’ well-being was analyzed, indicatingthat the diversity and comfortability in semi-public spaces had a direct correlationwith outdoor amenity (Table 9). There is a high possibility that external spaces in556
