THE HOUSING MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING BY COLLIERY COMPANIES : Case study of 3 mines in Yamada town, Chikuho

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the character of planning of rows of houses for coal miners. We selected 3 mines in Yamada city, which are similar in production but different in scale of the capital. As a whole, the composition of rooms have same tendency, as they were regulated by housing policies. But each variation of plan at the same period is very different. Because it was served as a part of business in every mining settlement under housing policies. This distinction caused experience of business, change of output, personnel management, and so on. We could grasp the changes of housing and supply in the colliery industry, by understanding each housing management.
