A study on Conservation of Gasshozukuri houses in Shirakawa

本研究旨在对白川的茅草Gassho房屋进行调查，并牢记它们在改造中的特殊用途。此外，还进行了居民意见调查。第一章论述了村内外房屋的迁移与重建。结果发现，在20世纪30年代至50年代的20年间，37所房屋被转移到村庄以外的地方。第二章论述了住宅的空间利用模式，以及对其进行的改造。这项调查是在考虑到作为旅馆的房屋和作为住宅的房屋在空间利用方面的差异的情况下进行的。人们发现，在旅馆的情况下，一个单独的建筑被建造作为住所。第三章讨论了居民和他们保护家园的意愿，以及他们对村庄环境的看法。作为调查的结果，可以得出以下几点结论。尾町作为一个定居地区是非常强烈的，保存这些Gassho房屋的意愿在作为旅馆的房屋中比在作为住宅的房屋中更强烈。就这些房子的宜居性而言，旅馆似乎比作为住所的房子更适合居住。这里要记住的事实是，大多数作为旅馆的房子都有一个单独的建筑作为住所。与私人住宅相比，旅馆中保存、保护和增值房屋的意愿更高。在酒店里，延续“Yui”习俗的意愿也更强烈。总之，可以建议对私人住宅进行改造，并将原来的Gassho形式用于作为旅馆的房屋。还创建了一个模型，用于改造和建造Gassho房屋的新生活空间。

This research is aimed at making a survey of the thatched Gassho houses in Shirakawa keeping in mind their particular use vis-a-vis remodeling. A survey of the opinion of the residents was also conducted.Chapter 1 discusses the shifting and rebuilding of houses to the places outside and inside the villages. As a result of this it was found that in the twenty years between 1930s and 1950s thirty seven houses have been shifted to places outside the village.Chapter 2 deals with the patterns of space utilization in the houses, and the remodeling which was undertaken thereof. The survey was carried out keeping in mind the difference in the utilization of space in houses which function as inns and houses which function as dwellings.It was found that in the case of inns a separate building was constructed which serves as the residence.Chapter 3 discusses the residents and their will for preservation of their homes along with their opinion on the environment of the village. As a result of the survey the following points can be concluded.1. Ogimachi as a settlement area is extremely strong and the will to preserve these Gassho houses is stronger in houses which serve as inns rather than in houses which serve as dwellings.2. As far as the livability in these houses is concerned it seemed stronger in the inns rather than in houses serving as dwellings. The fact to keep in mind here is that most of the houses which serve as inns have a separate building which serves as the dwelling.3. The will to preserve, protect and the appreciation of houses was higher in inns as compared to private dwellings.4. The will to continue the custom of Yui was also stronger in inns.In conclusion it can be suggested that a remodeling is advisable for private homes, and a reversal to the original Gassho form for houses which serve as inns. A model was also created for remodeling and building a new living space in Gassho houses.
