由於社會結構的改變、都市化的快速發展導致人口快速湧入都市中，集合住宅係成為解決都市住宅的主要手段，相對的鄰里關係也從原本的水平模式往垂直的方向發展。由於鄰里關係的改變導致人際關係逐漸淡薄，甚至引發許多的社會問題。因此，本研究乃從建築計畫之視點，企圖針對台北市集合住宅之電梯的有無、同層戶數、社區型與非社區型等三種不同的類型，來探討集合住宅類型對鄰里關係與居住意識的影響。本研究以居住在台北市集合住宅之大學生為主要調查對象。透過兩階段之調查，研究中得到具體的成果如下：以大學生而言，男性較女性的交流程度佳，且女性重視住居的安全而男性較重視領域性；集合住宅類型方面，結果顯示無電梯之集合住宅類型對於鄰里關係有正面的影響；此外，在同層戶數方面，戶數較少者有助於鄰里關係的發展。

Rapid urbanization and social structural change have caused overpopulation in many metropolises. Such a change not only resulted in the creation of densely-packed assembly housing complexes, but also made neighborhood community upward developed. This, among others, seemed to have diluted neighborhood relationship and created social problems. To learn if housing patterns have an effect on residents, this study conducted an investigation on assembly housing varying according to three variables: elevator supported or not, density and community formation. College students who are current residents of the assembly housing were asked to fill out questionnaires. After the research data were analyzed, the study concluded; (1) male residents interact with others in the community more frequently than female residents; (2) security is a major concern to female residents while male residents care more about territoriality; (3) housing complexes without elevator supported positive neighborhood relationship and those with less average floor residents have positive effect on social relations.
