A Case Study of the Grave in the Movement of the Habitation

Abstract

The progress of industrial structure increases the movement of population. I study the relation of movement about the grave and family type, the occupation, the habitation, through three case historys. As a result, they are divided into four model types. The first is the type of living in urban area, the second is the type of moving within the same metropolitan area, the third is the type of living in urban moved from rural area, the forth is the type of moving from city to city. Their graves were moved by the movement of their habitation, without a family living in urban area since the age of Meiji. The third generations are all white-collar workers, and their next generations will be white-collar worker. So the graves will be moved in the future.
