Abstract
The purpose of this research is to reveal the consciousness and challenges for childcare environment, targeting UR housing complexes in Nagoya city, where many nuclear families live. Also, by organizing the opportunities and places where the residents communicate, to become a basic material for the improvement of the housing complex environment, such as child-care support, and spatial planning for communication. The results are as follows. 1) Satisfaction was high with the buildings and the park, but was low with communication and event. 2) Child-care support had differences between the requested needs and the actual support. There were also residents who wanted to participate in child-care support. 3) Most of the communication within the complex consisted of short talks. 4) There were thought to be demands for outdoor space which could be stopped by casually and indoor space which could be used flexibly.
