Abstract
This report is the second of the series works to find what house plan fits the households with the handicapped. Main aims are researching the necessary conditions of the sleeping room, and besides the problems that happen by the handicapped's working in their houses. Main results of this research are as follows : 1. Almost owned houses have enough rooms to be able to sleep without confusions, but the rented houses have not. 2. The degree that the sleeping rooms are used as dining, living and other rooms, is different by the house types. 3. In the 〓L〓 type they are able to secure sleeping rooms in suitable conditions. 4. In the 〓D〓 type the cases of eating and sleeping in the same room account for about 50% of the owned houses. Those cases are inclined to be caused when the DK is not used, or when the household is invited into the rooms that the handicapped use as eating, sleeping and others, usually confined to bed. In case of the rented houses the cases using a room to eat and sleep are seen in all of the 〓D〓 type. 5. In the 〓K〓 type are seen considerably the cases that one room are used for eating, sitting a happy circle and sleeping. Those cases are easy to occur in small houses, besides a husband or a wife is handicapped and the transfer ability is lower. 6. Though about half of the handicapped prefer to use the bed for sleeping, the bed user is restricted in a few persons. Particularly the wheelchair users prefer the bed very much. 7. The cases that the handicapped are working in their houses are seen frequently, especialy remarkable in the rented houses. 8. The kinds of the handicapped's work are varied in the owned houses, but are not and limited to foreignstyle dressmaking in the rented houses. Because in the former are included houses with a shop or a working room, but in the latter are few. So almost in the latter house living behaviors are mixed and confused as a result of using one room to work.
