Abstract
The purpose of this study is to grasp the actual conditions of the bathroom equipment and to determine factors that influence the degree of satisfaction in the psychological evaluation. The results are as follows :
1) In most cases, bathroom is placed on the first floor, but, there is an increased tendency of new houses built ten or less years ago having the bathroom on the second floor.
2) It may be inferred that the number of unified type bathrooms will continue to increase in accordance with an increase of prefabricated houses.
3) It is noted that white or beige is the predominant color of the wall for newly built houses while the bathtub color is mostly metallic in old houses built more than ten years ago.
4) Most bathrooms are equipped with windows, but less than half of the bathrooms are equipped with ventilation fans. Those equipped with jet air, heating or drying systems are still low in percentage, but it is expected that the number of bathrooms equipped with the afore-mentioned systems will increase in the future.
5) It was clarified that the degree of users' satisfaction with their bathrooms is largely influenced by bathtub color as well as other factors such as lighting, size, and ventilation or whether or not the growth of mold can be checked.
