Abstract
Continued from the last thesis, this paper analyzes the evolution processes of the town housing types in the built-up area where lower Samurai classes had ever inhabited in Edo era. Conclusions are as follows, The housing type in the built-up area had been converted from the single-story houses into the two-story houses since the latter period of Meiji era. Then, the entrance parts of the houses had been receded into the its main structure for space saving. Thus, new town housing types, Genkan-Kotai types had appeared. Since then, as the housing frontage had been restricted narrower and narrower, the housing types with the receding entrance had been reasonably producing its own new types, corresponding to its narrower frontages. On the other hand, these housing types had been able to gain the number of necesary rooms and larger housing spaces than the old traditional housing types, by the conversion of the one-story houses into the two-story houses.
