The study make it clear that the activities of Taiwan Architecture Institute in Japanese Governance, which was the first organization in Taiwan architectural history. It existed from 1929 to 1945. It issued the Journal of Taiwan Architectural Institute. Almost of Taiwan Architecture Institute's members were the people who worked in Taiwan Sotokufu. In order to find Taiwan's Architecture Identity, they approached the technique and culture. During the World War II, they studied about Southeast Asia.

本論文には筆者が數年前より繼續中の高砂族住家研究の中間報告である。高砂族は其數15萬餘に過ぎないが全島の山間僻地に散在居住するを以て其調査研究には相當の日數を要した筆者は漸くパイワン族、ブヌン族及びツオウ族の各蕃を踏査し得たのみであるが各種族とも其住家には夫々特徴があり、殊にパイワン族の如きは甚だ變化多く大別しても5形式に分類する事が出來且つ亦各種族間の關係、交渉等にもつきざる興味が存在するが未だ研究の途中にあるので結論には到着しないが近年中には全島の蕃地を隈なく踏破して研究を完成する豫定でゐる。

In this paper we have investigated from the historical and geographical point of view, the high-floor ware-houses of the south-western islands of Japan. These islands are the Tokara, the Amami, the Okinawa, and the Sakishima Islands which are spread in a slightly curved are beginning from just the south of the Osumi islands and ending at the eastern sea of Formosa. We can classify from the point of architectural construction in 3 classes high-floor ware houses of Japan, which were built in old Japan and are built now-a-days. Class I. The columns of this type are high enough and support the roofs directly. Class II. The columns of this type are short and support only the floors. In this class we have 2 sub-divisions. a. The upper-structures are frames. b. The upper-structures are Azekuras. Class III. The intermediate type between class I and II. The ware-houses belonging to class I we can find in old Japan, such as the figures drawn on the Dotaku or on the beak of the old blonze mirrors. In the Present time the ware-houses of this type are somewhat rare, but we can find this type in Hateruma island. In the Amami islands we can find them too, but their floors are very low. These belonging to class II.a are found in old Japan and at the present time in many places, namely in the islands of east-southern Asia, Formosa, Okinawa, Amami, Hachijo and Hokkaido. From the historical and geographical investigations, we can conclude that these ware-houses must be in the same cultural circle. In old Japan these were built generally but in the course of historical time the examples became gradually rare and in the present time we can not find them in Japan proper, but in the above mentioned islands. These of class II.b were built in old Japan quite generally, such as the Todaiji-Azekura and others. The examples of the ware-houses of class III are fairly rare historically and geographically. The ware-houses of the south-western islands, belonging to class II.a can be classified in 2 types, namely the Okinawa and the Amami type. From the techinical stand point, the Amami type is fairly more advanced than the Okinawa type, being influenced by the architectural technic of Japan proper. The reason can be explained from the historical facts.

The first step toward ethnographical research on the Formosan natives is to be found in the 17th century when Formosa was under the rule of the Dutch who had left us many materials in their official documents. In the age of Chin dynasty the Chinese travellers visited Formosa and left reports in which we can find many valuable data. After the Japanese occupation (1895), the Special Commission for Inquiry on the Olden Customs of Formosa was established by Baron GOTO, Civil Governor of Formosa. This commission, under the leadership of Dr. S. OKAMATSU, mabe survey-works on the customs of the Formosan Chinese and the sinicized aborigines and afterwards on those of the aborigines. Although the travelling through the area of headhunters was very perilous at that time, steady researches were continued by the members of the commission and their reports did amount to huge volume. The pioneer in the ethnography on the Formosan natives was Dr. Ryuzo TORII, who landed at the Botel Tobago and investigated the Yami in the year of 1897. We must remember the names of Mr. Usinosuke MORI and Mr. Yoshinori INO : the former carved out ways of research among the dangerous aborigines and collected many ethnological specimens, that have been reserved in the Museum of the Government-General. Mr. INO endeavoured mostly on the history of Formosa. His works on the siniciezed aborigines, whose original cultures were disappearing rapidly at that time, are of value. It may be said that Mr. MORI and Mr. INO were the founders of the Formosan history and ethnology. After these forerunners, many researchers appeared in Formosa. Mr. Magane KOIZUMI travelled in the northern mountain region and eastern coast. Dr. Tadao KANO had engaged devotedly in fieldwork covering almost all aboriginal villages and published many articles on the ethnological, archaeological and entomological subjects. One of his works in collaboration with Kokichi SEGAWA, was published recently. In the year of 1928, the Taihoku Imperial University was established and the institute of ethnology was opened in the university under the supervision of Prof. Nenozo UTSURIKAWA, collaborated with Nobuto MIYAMOTO and Mr. Toichi MABUCHI. The important works among the results of the institute were a genealogical study of the Formosan natives and establishment of a ethnological museum in which ethnological and archaeological materials were collected, amounting to ten thousands in number. After a revolt (called "Musha Jihen") in the year of 1929, in which one hundred and more Japanese police-men and their families were killed by the Musha tribesmen, the Atayal, the government's policy against the aborigines was changed, and the migration of the aborigines from deep mountain areas to the foothill regions was planned. Accordingly the government had to undertake the close observation on territories, agriculture and village life of the aborigines. Mr. Kameichiro HIRASAWA, Mr. Kokichi SEGAWA and other members were engaged in field-work for several years and huge reports were published by the government. After the establishment of the university the studies on the natives were operated vividly in various ways. Dr. Yuzuru OKADA investigated the social organization of the Tsou, Atayal and the Pangtsah tribes. Prof. Naoyoshi OGAWA, who had published already several dictionaries of the native dialects, published in cooperation with Dr. Erin ASAI "Myths and Traditions of the Formosan Natives" in the original languages. Dr. ASAI also collected many native songs and recorded the melodies of the sinicized aborigines which had survived among them. In the agricultural section Prof. Iku OKUDA made a contribution to the government's administration and science. Prof. Takeo KANASEKI made physical anthropological researches upon various tribes. He made also many contribution in the field of archaeology as described later. The researches in the

This paper focuses on how Amis indigenous people's living environment was improved by Japanese government's policy during the colonial period in Taiwan. In 1930s, Japanese governors established regulations of public facilities such as lavatories, canals, cemeteries and shines for Amis villages. The governors also created two types of new dwelling house plans (Kairyoubanoku) to improve Amis' original houses. The regulations and the plans were made based on Amis' traditional customs and Han's dwelling house plans. It is thought that the purpose of the Japanese policy was to modernize Ami's lifestyle. The policy made great influences on Ami's living environments and some of them can still be seen in the villages today.

In the settlement, the character of the space is made with the element with various boundaries of the internal space of each dwelling, and external space. Those elements are not individual, patency and closing nature are made as an aggregate of an element, and it is thought that the character of the space is understood by change of a field of view. In this paper, the form of housing space and the change of space character in the modernization of a YAMI's dwelling seen from change of a field of view are solved. Furthermore, the position and character of the space are clarified by expressing relation nature with a circumference house with changing to vision distance the amount of each solid quantified here to an arrangement plan.
