The objective of this research is to acquire a basic knowledge of architectural planning, in order to realize the changeability and long-term occupancy sought after for dwellings, from the survey and analysis of actual occupancy records and conditions of apartment buildings over a long period of time. The subjects of the survey were households that were long-term occupants of public rental housing estates that were constructed in the 1960s. Analyses were made of how the occupants lived in the dwellings and records of infill improvements, along with changes in the family structures. In some apartment buildings that were surveyed, an additional living area had been built onto the balcony side, and as a result of having more living space, young couples with children had moved in later. On the other hand, apartment buildings that had not had any additions could be occupied by only elderly households. With households that wanted to continue living in the same place for a long term, despite rental housing restrictions, cases could be seen where infill improvements had been actively carried out on the inside in order to improve the habitability.

Appropriate buffer distance from a road to buildings, to judge if their lots are adjacent to the road whose width is equal to or more than 4 meters, is examined. A buffer distance is said to be optimal if judge error becomes minimum among all possible distance. The optimal buffer distance can be regarded proportional to the square root of average of gross lot size, where the proportional coefficient was found to be close to 0.35. Besides, by making a mathematical model, it is found that the optimal buffer distance is regarded as the average set back distance between roads perimeter and a frontage of a building.

This study deals with building types and spatial composition of town houses in the old Beijing city. The author's own field measurement results indicate that there are two types of buildings. By studying the urban structure (such as the skeleton of streets, block composition and subdivision) and various other social considerations (including the population, real estate activity, and house tax), and by using documentary and pictorial sources, the author concludes as follows.
The first is a town house with posteriorly continuous ridges, built in dense commercial areas of small blocks. The second is a town house which also spreads back, but with courtyards in the middle. This courtyard-style was built in commercial areas with bigger blocks, facing onto arterial streets. In both cases, town houses, due to the location, expanded their shop area and created diverse spatial compositions. This study also shows that the first type originated with squatters taking over streets.

This study is intended to clarify the architect's vocabulary of Facade design in works of Kiyosi Seike focusing on the relationship between the proportion of windows, fenestration and the external form of elevation. Facades are defined by the composition of sites and buildings, and the expression of windows. The relationship between the proportions is analyzed on the similarity and the repetition of window form and division of window. As the result of classification, 10 types of proportional schemes of elevation are identified, and moreover by analyzing, these schemes are classified into 4 types of facade design. Analyzing the relationship between the date of completion and the proportional schemes, it is clarified that facade design is changed from the totality of proportion to the partiality and the synthesis by the expression of beams and columns.

The World Heritage site of the old town of Lijiang is composed of three areas: Dayan old town and Baisha and Shuhe housing clusters. As one of the important features characterizing the value of the site, the squares called Sifangjie are found in all three areas. Although the design and visual integrity of the traditional shop fronts facing onto the squares are very important conservation indicators, many of those in the Dayan old town and Shuhe Sifangjie squares have been modified to open-type shop fronts to accommodate modern commercial uses; however, in the Baisha Sifangjie square the traditional shop front design in the dominant window and door style -- the Pubanmen style -- still remains. This paper aims to describe the current situation and the changes in Baisha Sifangjie and to study the conservation of commercial building. This was done mainly by examining the commercial buildings and by conducting interviews with local residents.

In this report I restricted the discussion to the selection of the castles for this consideration and to the basic consideration. I feel disappointed that any researchers couldn't fully understand the details of the all castles on the list, generally because in their investigation they only used the reports in the present generations or used the questionnaire to the present person in charge of cultural properties.
I think that the researcher has to investigate historical documents of each castle carefully and directly, even if it is necessary to decrease the number of the castles.
