Abstract
The results are as follows : 1) The houses for the wheelchair users are classified into two types, the Non-Passing type, by whether the traffic line from (P)(the sleeping room for the handicapped) to (C)(W. C.) and (B)(the bath room) passes other rooms or not. 2) In planning the Non-Passing type using an ordinary house where the living room and the dining room are placed in the center of it, two styles are considered : the house in which (P), (C) and (B) are put together near the entrance and the one in which they are set away from it. In case a dressing room for the wheelchair user is not prepared, the latter one is desirable. 3) In planning type, as any one of the private rooms must not be passed, the public rooms such as the living room, the dining room etc., should be designed to be passed. In this case, it is necessary to prepare a dressing room for the wheelchair user. 4) When extending or remodeling an old house for the wheelchair user, to prepare (P), (C) and (B) is the first problem, and the second is the connecting of them. Because it is diffcult to remodel both (C) and (B) for the handicapped, one effective plan is to extend the house into the Non-Passing type, building (P), (C) and (B) together. This type is desirable when the handicapped is a child, for it also makes some contribution to his psychological development.
