抄録

This Paper intends to point out modern women's needs for housing and services from gender perspective. First, the conditions of urban environment and women's preference for the childcare support system are explored, based on the findings of questionnaire survey in 1995, addressed to 252 female users of a day nursery at three different districts of Osaka Metropolis. Second, it examines the potential needs for “collective house”, a form of housing containing communal space for residents and promoting to collaborative way of living, among women who are taking part of social activities. The result indicates the followings: 1) Living place linked to the women's present situation has a great influence upon their choice of support system. 2) Although those who wish to live in a collective house are not many, working women with children are looking for an alternative living arrangement, which provide them with the childcare support.
