This research focuses on the social contact in urban spaces as a possible protective factor against the development of loneliness. We conducted an online questionnaire survey focusing on going-out activities, especially those for leisure purposes, which previous studies have suggested might be correlated with loneliness, and examined their association with it. Through web-based questionnaire survey and following text mining analysis, it was clarified that it is important for the senior citizens to go out in urban spaces, enjoy leisure time, and interact with others so that they can avoid feeling lonely.

This paper examines the effect of road surface decorations through a social experiment. Road decorations can change the street atmosphere different, and motivate people to walk and increase participation in street activities. However, people feel less secure when considering the safety of the elderly and children while walking; specifically, vehicles are a major safety concern. Similar to a woonerf/ shared space in Europe, a traffic-controlling rule allowing various road activities should be implemented; subsequently, after drivers understand this traffic regulations, everyone will be able to use the road as a place of living without anxiety.

Diverse lives and societal changes have created the demand for flexible use of residential streets. The authors installed movable objects such as potted plants and seats on a residential street to observe their effect on human activities. It was noticed that the objects had a calming effect on traffic and promoted pedestrian safety. It was also observed that plants influenced pedestrians to walk leisurely and feel relaxed; the presence of seats motivated the elderly to go out onto the streets and walk. The installations potentially promoted communication among residents by improving traffic environment.

We examined community management, which is a system based on mutual assistance in a multi-generational co-housing complex that encourages caring for the elderly. 64% of the apartments rarely implemented community management either in the form of a “mediation-type” or “council-type” system. The system of caring for the elderly was never established as the elderly residents who faced difficulties in fulfilling their prescribed roles were requested to move out. The significance of multi-generational co-living as felt by the residents was found to be concerned with the acquisition of new lifestyles and values, social roles, and security and the relationship of trust.

This research investigates elements of uncertainty (EOU) remaining after demolition work starts, through observation of the design and construction processes of an exclusively-owned dwelling unit of a condominium with a design–bid–build method. Design revision was assumed for designers to deal with EOU as of the construction contract. There was a case where EOU found after the demolition of interior brought design revision and additional construction, which influenced the construction period and cost. It is thinkable that issues caused by EOU found during the construction work increase. A contract needs to be thought for such risks among stakeholders.

The Ijinkan (the former engineers’ residence of Kagoshima Cotton Mill) is one of western-style buildings in Bakumatsu Japan. In its floorplan, room-sizes and components including doors, windows and verandahs were designed in the same manner. With reference to the archaeological surveys, it is revealed that the main building, two attached building and stable were laid almost symmetrically in the rectangular plot of land. Considering the lives of foreign engineers employed in the Satsuma, the Ijinkan was probably designed as a boarding house, which was different to other existing western-style buildings in Bakumatsu Japan.

Based on her portfolio discourse and photographs, we analyzed the formal elements with spatial flexibility in terms of the room position, the types of the formal operation. As a result, Gray realized the formal elements with spatial flexibility, especially in the terrace and the bedroom, using the three types of the formal operation: “pivoting”, “folding”, “sliding” which were more narrowed than E.1027. In conclusion, we state that Gray created a more contrasting composition concerning the spatial flexibility than E.1027.

Industrial urbanization disconnected city dwellers from direct access to natural resources. Consequently urban forests were introduced into cities for their aesthetic and environmental qualities, and are managed through the practice of urban forestry, which primarily focuses on maintenance services. However, emerging initiatives around the world are expanding the scope of urban forestry practice through the network generated by untapped forestry resources in the city. This study aims to clarify the potential of urban forestry for fostering citizens participation through resources accessibility, by comparing the network of different case studies based on the resources transformation and the members involvement.

Early detection of the crack in the external wall is a critical task in building maintenance. An image-based inspection has an advantage in terms of cost and efficiency; however, it requires much effort for high-rise buildings because of a massive number of taken pictures. Specifically, it is hard to distinguish the cracks in the walls made of natural stones from their complex texture pattern. To support such inspection, we developed the artificial-intelligence-based computer-aided detection system for wall cracks. We demonstrated that the system detects cracks properly in pictures of granite wall panels taken from a real tower building.

A method for shape design of free-form shells under self-weight is presented, without resorting to any parametric shape representations. The graph surface is discretized into a polyhedral surface with quadrilateral mesh. Membrane stresses which satisfy the equilibrium in the horizontal plane are given based on Pucher’s formulation, and the equilibrium equation in the vertical direction is solved. Desirable distributions of thrusts on the boundaries of a surface can easily be specified. Successive over-relaxation method is used for solving Pucher’s formulation discretized by the finite-difference method. It is shown in the numerical examples that various equilibrium shapes can be generated.
