Seoul beauty salon glossary
Definitions for the permit register, cohort calculations and licensing steps.
The source is a business-permit register. Read its reporting lag and status definitions before comparing districts.
- Permit record
- An administrative business record, rather than a customer, worker or storefront observation.
- Normally operating status
- The source’s administrative status at retrieval; it does not confirm current door-open hours.
- Source business type
- The category written in the register, which is not an individual worker’s licence.
- Unmatched district
- A record that could not be assigned to a Seoul district under the stated address-matching rule; excluded from district comparisons.
- Cohort
- Records sharing a permit year, district and source type for an observation-period comparison.
- Observed permit survival
- A site calculation of records not recorded closed by an anniversary, among a fully observable permit-year cohort.
- Incomplete horizon
- An anniversary that cannot be observed for every possible opening date in the selected year; shown as unavailable.
- Missing value
- An unacquired or unusable field; different from an observed count of zero.
- Beauty qualification
- A qualification administered by Q-net; it is one route relevant to a personal beauty licence.
- Personal beauty licence
- An individual licence issued through the responsible local authority under the applicable requirements.
- Business report
- A premises and business procedure distinct from qualification, personal licensing and tax registration.
- Authorized activity
- The activity allowed under an individual’s residence status and any applicable conditions; a certificate alone does not determine it.
How are Seoul beauty salon terms defined?
Administrative terms follow their source; calculation terms describe this site’s method.
An English label helps readers understand the Korean source. It does not replace the legal Korean wording or certify an equivalence with another country’s qualification.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Seoul beauty business permit data Dataset description and fields; the full public CSV was parsed into aggregates without saving business identifiers.
- Seoul beauty permit metadata and reuse terms Metadata only; the file-title date is not the permit snapshot date.
- Beauty licence eligibility Government legal explanation of Public Health Control Act Article 6; not a binding individual ruling.
- Beauty business reporting and change reports Reporting, facility summary and listed conditional documents; exceptions are not generalised to all salons.
