Abstract
is very beneficial to promote the utilization of usable vacant houses among the situation that vacant houses are
increasing, not only for the revitalization of city areas by utilization of existing housing stock, but also for the promotion of
welfare projects with poor financial power. In order to promote it, it is essential and important to grasp precisely individual
conditions and needs from both of present owners and using candidates, and grope for the appropriate matching. The best
occupational ability to play on that role is registered architect. I’d like to propose the methods to promote the utilization of
vacant houses by utilizing the characteristics, knowledge, and know-how of registered architects.
