This study was conducted on the “traditional area” of Dunsan in Daejeon, and 22 apartment complexes in Doan new city in the “new urban area”. Its goal was to compare and analyze green percentage of each apartment complex’s exterior space. The application examples of the green percentage were examined. Through the advanced research, exterior space types of apartment housing were divided according to chronical change. Five kinds of space (entry space, main pedestrian space, auxiliary pedestrian space, building surroundings space, and playground space) were designated to enable comparison analyses between green-space percentages of the apartment complex in both the Dunsan and Doan areas. Five exterior spaces and 22 apartment complexes in the Dunsan area and in the Doan new urban area were photographed. This study serves as a basic exploratory study to derive the baseline Index of Greenness results of traditional area and new urban area, addressing the lack of such research on the residential facilities. The study also analyzed differences between the two greenness indexes with respect to shape and space. Compared with the average rates of index of greening in traditional areas and new urban areas, Doan (a new urban area) showed an Index of Greenness rate of 34.1%, and Dunsan (a traditional area) showed an Index of Greenness rate of 40.5%, which was 6.4% higher. It is considered that the shape of each green space, the arrangement of various facilities, and the design of the spaces have a great influence on the differences of the Index of Greenness.
