Abstract
This paper aims to make a research on the evaluation of dwelling housing units by applying simulationmethod, and make a suggestion for designing units.
The method and process of simulation are as follows.
1) To estimate the utilizaion on dwelling units, set up models which are quoted from past researches.
2) Choose a plan according to the aim what the component of plan should be evaluated.
3) And apply the models to some plan to make an evaluation of it.
4) And then, suggest a design of dwelling unit by using results of the above simulation.
We selected a number of room in Open zone as a target of evaluation, and choose plans based on a target. And put the simulation into practice on the above process. As a result of the simulation, we suggest a dwelling units not only consisted by two zone (Open and Closed), but includes a room which has dual spatial characteristics (Open and Closed). Such a dwelling units can be effective to cope with variable spatial requirement of residents and family.
