Notes
- 'Yeogwan' and 'Yeoinsuk' were integrated into 'Lodging Business' in August 1999 when the "Public Health Act" was replaced by the "Public Health Control Act", and in January 2012, the 'Lodging Business' was divided into 'General Lodging Business' and 'Residential Lodging Business'. In the "Building Act", in May 2013, 'Yeogwan' and 'Yeoinsuk' were integrated into 'General Lodging Property', and 'Residential Lodging Property' was added. In the "10th Standard Industrial Classification", 'Yeogwan' has been used so far, and 'General Lodging Business' and 'Residential Lodging Business' are not expressly separated. In the "Business Code", 'Yeogwan' and 'Yeoinsuk' have been used so far, and 'General Lodging Business' and 'Residential Lodging Business' are not expressly separated. Given the fact that there are many lodging establishments that opened as 'Yeogwan' or 'Yeoinsuk' before 1999 and are still open to date, Lobin's classification of lodging establishment types is based on the "Business Code" to account for the situation at the time.
- 'Gosiwon' with the floor area greater than or equal to 500㎡. (If the floor area is less than 500㎡, the facility will be classified as a 'Neighborhood Living Property' instead of a 'Lodging Property')
- 'Multi-Family Housing' for 'Dormitory' means the upper category of the property type 'Dormitory', which also includes 'Apartment', 'Townhouse' or 'Multiplex Housing', while 'Multi-Family Housing' for 'Shared Lodging' and 'Urban Minbak' includes all of them except 'Dormotory'.
- 'Single-Family House' for 'Rural Minbak', 'Shared Lodging', and 'Urban Minbak' means the upper category of the property type 'Single-Family House', including 'Single-Family House' and 'Multi-Household House'. (but excluding 'Multi-Family House' also included in the same upper category)
- 'Shared Lodging' is not listed in the "10th Korean Standard Industrial Classification", but listed in the "Business Code" as a sub-category of 'General and Residential Lodging Business'. However, its designated property type is either 'Single-Family House' or 'Multi-Family Housing', which is identical to 'Urban Minbak, not corresponding to 'Dormitory and Gosiwon Business'. The business type is moved to 'Minbak Business' from 'General and Residential Lodging Business' in Lobin's lodging establishment types.
- 'Campsite' is not listed in the "10th Korean Standard Industrial Classification", while listed in the "Business Code" as a sub-category of 'Other General and Residential Lodging Business'. However, "Enforcement Decree of the Building Act Appendix 1" specifically identifies the property type for it as the 'Campsite Property' with a note that campsites not qualifying its requirements will fall under the 'Training Facility'. The business type is moved to 'Other Lodging Business' from 'Other General and Residential Lodging Business' in Lobin's lodging establishment types.
- 'Open Use' means the cases that, among 'tourist businesses' listed in "Enforcement Decree of the Tourism Promotion Act", the type of the property functioning as a lodging establishment is not specified in the "Enforcement Decree of the Building Act Appendix 1".
- 'Youth Lodging' and 'Other Lodging' are not clearly defined in the relevant laws and regulations, but they are classified independently here taking into consideration of their unique requirements by the relevant laws and regulations.
※ The classification of lodging establishments above is not a statutory classification system, but one developed by Lobin for the purpose of efficient processing and utlization of data.
