Abstract: The ultimate purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the difference in the level of the Sense of Community(SoC), according to the type of housing. To achieve the purpose of the study, this study analyzed the microdata of Seoul Survey. In the Seoul Survey data, the measurement questions on the level of the SoC used overlapping measures with the items of the SCI(Sense of Community Index) presented by McMillan & Chavis(1986). As a result, it shows that the difference in the SoC, according to the type of housing existed at a statistically significant level. First, the average level of SoC of Seoul residents was at a low level overall. Second, the level of SoC by housing type is high-rise condominium dwelling group, house dwelling group, and low-rise condominium dwelling group and so on, in the highest order. Accordingly, in order to enhance the sense of community among local residents, it is essential to clarify the ownership and right to use the site of a house or apartment complex, and to increase the level of control over entry into the site of a house or housing complex.
