Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the household energy consumptions and analyze the relation with family attribute for planning global warming prevention policies on household sector. First, the average household's electricity consumptions, gas consumptions and oil consumptions are researched by questionnaires on Iwate Prefecture located on Northen Japan and Kagoshima Prefecture on Southern Japan. Next, the relations between each energy consumption and family composition or housing characteristic are analyzed by Quant 1 Analysis. The results of analysis shows that the climate factor is important on oil consumptions, however it isn't important on gas consumptions and winter electricity consumptions. It became clear that number of total people, number of old people, number of infants and total hours on being in home are important factor. On the other hand, the structure of buildings and residence type such as apartment or individual house are not important factor by the result of Quant 1 Analysis.
