This study. Has been carried out to investigate the spatial order, which forms the basis of dwellings of Lafu Na people in Yunnan, China. In this paper, we understand how the housing aspect of dwellings of Lafu Na people is to evolve by partly surmising. In addition, we will understand the method of recognizing space and the method of behaviors of the people in special occasions as well as in everyday matters and find out the concept of the method of their recognizing space. By so doing, we will explain the order which creates structure of space of dwellings, and pursue how such an order is to change. The spatial order which creates dwellings can be explained by the spatial concept included in their way of behavior and the way of recognizing space. It is possible to find space concepts where dual things are opposed to each other such as higher rank and lower rank, internal part and external part, and being closed and open from the names of the recognized area, recognized vocabulary and. The method of behavior, which represent recognition of the dwelling aspects by the people. In this study,we have continued to search the non-daily, life such as their ritual in marriage and funeral. The spatial order is well observed in non-daily life and has generated the dwelling style which has long been inherited. The constitution of dwellings and its change can be illustrated by people's behaviors in ritual. In conclusion, we consider the dwellings of Lafu Na people has been constructed taking principally non-daily life into consideration.
