Objectives: This study aimed to explore the meaning of neighborhood and the perceived healthy lifestyle of young single-person households experiencing housing poverty.
Methods: The research design applied a single case study approach. Purposive sampling was implemented until data saturation was reached; 20 young single-person households experiencing housing poverty in a vulnerable neighborhood in Seoul were recruited for the study. Data were collected between September 2021 and May 2022. We conducted qualitative multi-methods analysis with semi-structed interviews that combined cognitive mapping and timetabling of the participants’ daily activities. The collected data were analyzed using pattern matching.
Results: For single-person households experiencing housing poverty, the perceived healthy lifestyle involved living an orderly daily life in accordance with a planned schedule for daily tasks. Single-person households in housing poverty preferred goal-oriented and individual living spaces use to minimize the cost, time, and energy expended in daily life. For young single-person households in housing poverty, the concept of neighborhood implied a place where they could live conveniently but did not wish to settle down.
Conclusion: Community health promotion programs should be planned based on an understanding of the perceived healthy lifestyle of young single-person households experiencing housing poverty. A place-based approach that creates natural opportunities for meeting neighbors could help them rethink the meaning of their neighborhoods and develop a sense of belonging.
