A Survey on Renewal Lifestyle suited to Climate and Culture towards Low Carbon Development in China

我们对中国的4个城市和3个农村进行了调查。尽管地域气候不同，但在中国的城市中，一些刻板的住房和生活方式仍然盛行。许多家庭的二氧化碳排放量比日本还大。另一方面，农村地区的住房和生活方式在不同的地区气候条件下是不同的。利用农业废弃物等自然资源、窗户的位置和类型以及使用树荫是减少二氧化碳排放的主要因素。在城乡、家庭和邻里关系中，集体使用空间和偏爱散步、运动等户外活动在低碳方面是有效的。

We surveyed 4 urban areas and 3 rural areas in China. Some kinds of stereotypical housing and lifestyle, in spite of different regional climate, are prevailed in urban China. The CO2 emissions in a lot of households are bigger than Japan. On the other hand, the housing and lifestyle in rural area are different in each regional climate. Use of natural resource such as agricultural waste, place and type of windows and use of tree shade are main elements of reducing CO2 emission. In urban and rural, family and neighborly relations, collective use of space and preference of outdoor activities such as walking and sports are effective in low carbon.
