The Comparison and Convergence of Communication between Chinese Traditional Dwellings and Korean Apartments - Focusing on the Characteristics of Fujian Tulou Community in China-

Research reveals that the spatial design of Fujian Tulou, traditional Chinese communal dwellings, can enhance social interactions and community cohesion when applied to modern apartment complexes. The study identifies four key principles—holistic public space planning, boundary awareness fostering trust, environmental comfort for interaction, and equitable sharing of resources—that improve neighborly relationships in both historical and contemporary settings. By analyzing Fujian Tulou's communal living patterns, the research suggests practical design strategies to address social isolation and lack of engagement in modern apartments, aiming to increase residents' sense of belonging and mutual trust.
