Abstract
This is the final report of the several series of investigations on the function of housing estate in human life. This time, we have intended to compare the data each other which were shown in the former reports. and to show the "community profile" as a general perspective view with each four housing estates surveryed respectively. The main items are shown in the "profile" by a simplified form concerning each community situation; the values of the percentage ratio of 1) shopping within the community area, 2) spending the leisure time within the community area, 3) social contact within the community area, 4) the man who have "community feeling", 5) the man who want to live for a long time in their present community area. By the profile it was made clear that : 1) Blue-collar workers make a living much in the community area and have much "community feeling" compared to the white-collar workers. 2) People who live in the suburban area make a living much in the community area and have much "community feeling" compared to the people who live in the urban area. 3) Wives make a living much in the community area compared to husbands, especially on the social contact in neighbourhood. Generally speaking, it is able to say that the original function of the housing estate in human life was made clear, and that the various standard values for the planning of the housing estate should not be decided uniformly but in the respective way by the characteristics of the estates, urban or suburban, blue-collar workers' or white-collar workers' etc.
