The research group called PADEE(Physio-Anthropologieal Dwelling Environment Evaluation)have put a continuing effort to establish the methodology on how to evaluate living environment since it was organized in 1995. As part of research activities of PADEE, the current members decided to write a preview on the related study with a brief introduction of the important papers. Although the present report may not cover every study on the related areas, we hope it could be of great help for young scientists who would initiate his/her study in relation to evaluation of living environment.
