This study which covers the period before and after the "Living Reform" that has taken place during the days of high economic growth since 1960's, deals chronologically with the changes in the architecture of houses, involving a materialistic means of living, such as the possession of household goods and thereby clarifies the progressive trend in the mode of housing and in the style of living. The study further attempts to pursue this theory as a means of establishing the direction of development of housing plans from the changes in housing and in the style of living, and also attempts to present the materials available with emphasis being placed on the contribution to the housing of the nation in general. In the present study which deals with the captioned farming houses of Yakuoji, former Hirano Village of Tawaramoto-cho, Shiki-gun, Nara prefecture, the aim is to establish an index to serve as a model for living requirements, from the concrete process of the transfiguration of the farmers' mode of housing and their living style in a suburban farming village of the progressive Kyoto-Nara-Osaka area, Efforts are also being made to find the direction which the mode of housing and the style of living is likely to take from a general consideration of the said index.
