Abstract
The study has aimed to implement qualitative evaluation of the living environment focusing on mixed use communities from the relation with both mixed use ratio and resident’s satisfaction. Four urbanized districts in Taipei City were taken up as research fields. In each district vertical mixed use is shown in many located buildings which generally have non-dwelling facilities in lower storey and housings in upper storey. In conclusion, firstly, mixed use ratio 27% in Dongqu shows a certain measure to define what is needed for an appropriate living environment. Secondly, convenience in urban living such as close to shopping and serviceable traffic is highly evaluated in qualitative evaluation of mixed use. Thirdly, from the point of making multi-habitat townscape, ground and lowerstory floors which should be used for commercial and small industries are designed set back or set forth than more high floors.
