Way of Living and Evaluation of Access-Type on the Public Housing with Terrace

Abstract

This study was taken to know the way of living and the evaluation of the access-type on the public housing with terrace. This public housing with terrace was designed as the house plan suitable for the subtropical zone. The terrace was expected to plan an important role of giving shade and of making a court yard. This public housing was built at Setouchi town, Kagoshima Prefecture in 1980. The housing unit plan was divided into two kinds by the access-type. One is the improved type of the north door access, the other is the south terrace type.
The questionnaire survey was carried out in July in 1990. The results of survey are as follows :
(1) The evaluation of the quality for the terrace, the staircase, and the access-type.
(2) The differences of the way of living and the use of the rooms under each access-type.
