Study on Housing Attitudes of Share House Residents in Relation to their Relocation and the Relationships They Seek with Others

Analysis of residents of mixed household and single person household Share House

Abstract

With the diversification of housing, share houses for family households have emerged. This study compares the housing awareness of residents in traditional single-person share houses and mixed-family share houses, where a single person and a family live together. We conducted interviews and questionnaires to investigate the residents' history of changing residences, their actual and desired relationships with others in the share house, and their intention to change residences in the future. The history of change of residence tends to differ by share house type, and the relationship with others in the share house tends to differ by household type. Overall, there was a high level of willingness to continue living in a share house in the future. In the mixed household type share house, residents of different household types influence each other, and there are singles who intend to raise their children in a share house.
