Abstract
As the renewal of fire proof public housings being actualized, some of the renewal projects are smoothly executed and the others frustrated. While social factors such as existing dwellers' life stage and economic conditions are the main determinants of the process and the results of the projects, and ‘revitalization’ or ‘measures for the elderly’ are necessary in large housing complex or their densely located areas, the existing renewal policies and plans are basically physical oriented, and thus it comes into a question whether social factors are to be taken in account.
The aim of this thesis is, by taking Adachi-ku; a typical densely located area of public housings in Tokyo; as a case, to clarify the dwelling conditions of the target public housings for renewal, and their changes after the renewal. The results were,(1) the numbers and percentage of small size families and old age dwellers are recently growing rapidly,(2) the percentage of such dwellers in the targets for renewal are already high and thus they seem to have less demand to enlarge dwelling space, and (3) renewal projects during 1970s and 1980s didn't decrease this rate in general.
