Abstract
This paper deals with how Public Housing dwellers assess the present housing condition, and what they require. The conclusions are as follows; 1) Public Housing is one of the highest ratio of housing dissatisfaction in the all kinds of tenures. And it's ratio is getting increased in these years. 2) The ratio of housing dissatisfaction in Public Housing dwellers is absolutely high, but judging from the standpoint of dwelling standards, it is relatively lower than the other tenures. 3) The ratio of housing dissatisfaction of Public Housing dwellers is much more higher than that of the whole citizens in each cities, and this fact is much more in local town. 4) There are two types for the reason of dissatisfaction. One is "Minus type in dissatisfactory reason", and another is "Plus type in dissatisfactory reason". That is the complaint against the dwelling standard-too small, and this is against the policy of Public Housing-too expensive. And the dwellers who have "Minus type dissatisfaction" don't assess Public Housing as the permanent resident, but those who have "Plus type dissatisfaction" answer in the affirmative assessment for Public Housing itself. 5) "Excess small space" in Public Housing has two ranks. The first rank is the stage for the requirement of the dining-sleeping space separation and the more space for bedroom etc. The second one is the stage for living space or work space etc. The average of dweller's density is 3.0〜3.5 tatami (4.9〜5.7m^2) per person in the first rank, and is 4.0〜4.5 tatami (6.5〜7.3m^2) per person in the second rank. The level of these ranks are nearly equal in every city. It means that the requirement for the minimum dwelling standard is wholly universal in different regions. 6) The dwelling standard of Public Housing is still under the desirable level. So dweller's assessment is mainly dominated by the space problem. That makes rather impossible to present the local characteristics.
