[Refuse
Collection Notice] Notice attached on each entrance
door. It describes the refuse collection time. Recyclable and 'ordinary'
refuse are collected on different days of the week. According to the
notice, residents are instructed to put refuse out of their houses after
sunset and before mid-night. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-02 |
|
[Lighting]
The scribbling on the wall says: "Don't dump
rubbish here." This is probably because The house is on the street
corner, and could easily be a spot to pile up rubbish for regular refuse
collection. Also linked to K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-07-01. |

| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-03 |
|
[Fire
Extinguisher] Fire-extinguishing unit in San99-2
area. These units are installed in various parts of Nangok redevelopment
area. These units are probably installed since many parts of the area
are difficult for the fire department to have a direct access due to
narrow alleys. It is also possible that they are installed to prepare
for winter period when the road is often covered with a thin coat of ice
which makes it difficult for fire brigades to reach. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-04-01 |
|
[Electric
metres] Electric meters are usually installed on the
exterior wall next to the entrance for easy reading. When residents move
out of a house, electric metre is removed to make sure that the house is
ready for demolition. Therefore, one way to find out whether a house is
still occupied or not is to find out whether an electric metre is still
installed. |

[Storage
House of Calcium Chloride] There are quite a few
houses that had signposts saying "House storing Calcium
Chloride". The chemical is often used to prevent people from
slipping and falling on icy streets or alleys in the case that the road
is covered with a thin coat of ice in winter. These are essential
facilities in Nangok area because houses are built on steep hillside. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-06-01 |
|
[Lighting]
Typical street lighting in the area. Lights are usually installed on the
wall (about 2.5 metre high above the ground). Walking around the whole
area, lighting seems to be installed about every 15 to 20 metres, and
whether provision of lighting in the area is sufficient or not is
unclear. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-06-02 |

[Lighting]
Where a eletric pole is installed, light is usually also hung on the
pole higher than those lights attached on house walls (3 or 4 metres
above ground). |

[Lighting]
At dusk, lights are turned on and starts to glow. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-07 |
|
[Telephone
Box] A few phone boxes are installed around the
area. All these suggest that despite the fact that most houses are built
without building permits, life was going on with support of public
services from public institutions (telephone company has long been a
state-enterprise). A peculiar but interesting aspect of residents' life
is that almost every family has a mobile phone for each adult member of
the family, but one has to remember that having a mobile phone is
another cultural aspect to look into more deeply, and should not jump
into conclusion that families in Nangok are rich enough to have mobile
phones. |

[Secondhand
Clothes Collection Unit] On many locations, these
secondhand clothing collection units are installed against housing
walls. How efficient and how well they are collected are not yet
revealed. |

[Consumed
Briquette] Quite a few houses seem to be still using
briquette boiler. Some empty houses that I have visited used to have a
small storage space next to entrance that had traces of briquettes on
the wall. A house that I visited to do an interview had oil boiler
system, but still used briquette stove to keep them warm. |

[Toilets
in Nangok] When wandering about the Nangok
redevelopment area, one finds three types of toilets that are distinctly
recognisable. Each house usually has a outdoor old-fashioned non-flush
toilet. Many houses from halfway up the hill do not even have this type
of toilet, and residents have to use public toilets. Public toilets are
of two types: public lavatories equipped with washing units and flush
toilets (as seen in this picture), and provisional toilets without any
washing units. These public toilets seem to be managed by the 'Dong'
(minimum administrative unit in urban areas) office: each public
lavatory had a checklist next to the entrance, showing the cleaning
status and who are responsible for the management
(K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-03-10-02). All the public toilets were fairly well
kept at the time of researcher's visit in December 2001 even though the
majority of houses were already empty. |

[Toilets
in Nangok] This picture shows a typical outdoor
non-flush toilet type. These are common and are easy to find in Nangok
area. It is my guess that in summer, the area must have smelled quite
badly due to the odours from these toilets. |

[Building
Materials] Wall cement of this house has fallen off,
exposing bricks on the house corner. Exterior walls of many tile-roofed
houses appear to have been built of one layer of cement blocks, cornered
with bricks, and then covered with a thin layer of cement plaster. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-04-02 |
|
[Building
Materials] This house standing next to a demolished
house shows a similar aspect as the one in K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-04-01 in
terms of building materials. Part of the house roof is flat and
strengthend to use as a storage space for earthendware pots that are
usually used in Korea to perserve fermented food. Electric wires are
slack, and run across the demolished housing site only about 5 feet
above the ground. It is not clear whether the electric wires were
installed in this way from the beginning. It is possible that no
maintenance took place (especially after demolition of the house) to
tighten the wire. |
|
| K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-04-03 |
|
[Building
Materials] A small number of houses are built of
pre-fabricated temporary wall materials that are often used in
construction sites to build temporary offices. The house shown in this
picture stands on a solid cement foundation, and appears to have been
built relatively recently. Since the house is relatively new, my
speculation is that the house is built to replace an already demolished
house, possibly to be qualified for compensation from redevelopment.
This has to be confirmed. |

[Building
Materials] This tin-roofed house stands right next
to the house shown in K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-04-03, but considerably of
different quality. One wall is covered with green vinyl, while the other
wall is boarded. |

[Building
Materials] Standing next to the house in
K-S-S7:MM-VP:2002-04-04 is another house whose walls and roof are
covered with galvanised iron sheets. At the foot of the exterior wall,
the galvanised iron sheets are covering cement blocks that must have
been the original wall materials. |

[Building
Materials - House Extension] This is a view of a
two-storey house near houses built with building permits just behind
Nangok market. The building identification number ("1127")
indicates that the house is built without building permit, but it still
has a first floor added with red bricks and aluminum-framed wall
extension, which is very unique in Nangok area, and shows the house
extension has been done relatively recently. Refer

Materials - House Extension] This shows another
house which has a first floor extended. The first floor appears to have

currently empty for demolition. First floor extension appeared to be
quite common in the area near the nangok market along the main arteries. |

Initially, Residents' Representatives Conference (Landlords'
Representatives Conference), which is legally required to propell the
redevelopment project, was constituted of only non-resident external
landlords, but later included some of the resident landlords. According
to Minister Kim Ki-don, 30% of representatives in Landlords'
Representatives Conference come from resident landlords. |

[Steep
Street and Alley] Houses in the redevelopment site
in Nangok are built on a steep hill. Winter in Seoul is very cold, the
temperature often dropping down to 10 degrees below freezing point. When
snowing, streets and alleys are often covered with a thin coat of ice,
making it very difficult for both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. In
winter, this is going to be a severe problem when there is a fire, or
when a house on a hilltop needs to refill its oil tank for heating. Many
houses in the area have installed oil-fired boilers for heating system. |

[Bus
Garage in Nangok] Nangok can be reached by a few bus
routes. Bus garages for two bus companies are located about 100 metres
away from the foot of the hill. It takes roughly between 15 to 20 metres
for young persons (say upto late 30s) to reach the hilltop from the bus
garage, but probably more than half an hour for others. |

be demolished and replaced with high-rise apartments. |

'Gu's). The road splits into two streets from this point. Two streets,
having similar features, are the main 'arteries': the street in this
picture leads to the hilltop. One
soon realises that there are so many real estate agencies.

[Reaching
Nangok from the hill to the West] Nangok
redevelopment area are not
visible from behind the hill to the left of Nangok. This housing area
behind the hill is commonly called as 'Parliament housing area', and are
mainly constituted of houses built with building permits at later stage.
Nangok is in fact only visible from the sky,
