Summary

Multi-story Hanok structures are the most economically viable option for Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, given its narrow plots. A quantitative study analyzed urban transitions and architectural data to determine suitable Hanok forms. The research found that two or more stories maximize space efficiency in concentrated areas, while back-trowelling techniques should be used for wall construction in some zones. Standard property line separation is recommended elsewhere, though institutional adjustments are needed to relax existing regulations. This approach combines geographic information with historical urban analysis to guide sustainable Hanok development.
