This paper identifies residential preference of child-rearing households based on questionnaire and interview survey. The results of this paper are as follows : 1) Child-rearing households tend to move in the same area, and in area well-known; 2) Single parent households tend to value the education environment and local community; 3) Working single parent households tend to value the proximity of housing, a school and a workplace to improve efficiency of commuting and taking their children to school; 4) Child-rearing households with children aged 0to2, 3to5, and schoolchildren tend to value housing performance, educational environment, and children's school and friendship, respect.
We aimed to clarify the effects and issues of the partial insulation remodeling method from a lifestyle perspective by habitation-related experiment. The results are as follows: 1) Several residents frequently changed their pattern of opening and closing insulated sliding doors. Their lifestyles were affected by expanding the insulated area. 2) Another residents didn't change their pattern, because they felt comfortable even if the doors were open. It is necessary to consider the balance of the insulation in outer walls and doors. 3) It is necessary to develop insulated sliding doors which consider environmental items other than just the thermal environment.
In this paper, we report the results of the experiments of partial remodeling regarding thermal insulation in existing multi-family housing. In this experiments, we surround only one part of dwelling space by thermal insulation partitions and fittings. We investigate the remodeling dwelling from three approaches. The results of the experiments are as follows; 1) In environmental engineering field, we clarified thermal environment performance in the remodeling dwelling. 2) In housing planning field, we clarified the adaptability of remodeling dwelling to residents' life. 3) In building construction planning, we clarified construction efficiency in the remodeling construction.
