The purpose of this study is to make clear roles that are characteristic of the space and behaviour in the alley and gap space between buildings in Nezu Tokyo. As a result of analysis, we recognized the following indications for the planning priciples of housing. Firstly, there exist grouped units of houses in densely built-up areas. Secondly, the alley and gap space have roles as buffer zones between houses, passing ways of district and ventilatilation as well as access of sunlight. Finally, they afford behaviours and places for household's goods promoting the interaction between residents, and generating characteristics of common space as well as private space.
