A Study of Housing Needs and their Regional Defferences in Hokuriku District

本研究旨在厘清居住现况、住宅观、居民对居住环境的需求，以及这些需求的区域差异。为此，我调查了石川县的公寓（位于北陆区市中心的“金泽”）和独立式住宅（位于金泽郊区的“Matto”和诺东半岛的“Hakui”）的居民。研究结果如下：1)“金泽”住宅单元的典型平面是由1间日式房、2间西式房和LDK组成的3LDK型。在“Matto”是4-5LDK类型，由1个日式房间，3-4个西式房间和LDK组成。在“Hakui”中，它是nDK型，由几个日式房间，一个西式房间和dk组成。2)家庭聚会，用餐，卧室，招待客人（居住方式）的房间使用模式因生活阶段，住宅单元平面图，住房类型（独立式住宅或公寓）和居住面积而异。3)“金泽”居民不满足于有限的存储空间。在“Matto”中，居民对交通工具的缺乏，文化和社区设施的匮乏感到不满。4)居民们希望从现在开始在自己家里举行新年、订婚和追悼会（Hoji）但很少有人愿意在自己家里举行婚礼和葬礼。“Hakui”的居民比“Matto”的居民更希望在自己的房子里举行这些仪式。5)“Matto”和“Hakui”的许多居民希望与已婚子女分开居住，如果他们年老了。但实际上，他们猜测他们会住在同一所房子里或分开住在很远的地方。

The purpose of this study is to clarify the real state of living, housing view, residents' needs on their dwelling environment and regional defferences of these. For this purpose, I investigated among residents of condominiums (located in "Kanazawa", center of the city in Hokuriku District) and detached houses (located in "Matto" in the suburbs of Kanazawa and "Hakui" in the Noto Peninsula) in Ishikawa Prefecture. The results are as follows ;1) The typical plan of dwelling unit in "Kanazawa" is 3LDK type consisted of 1 Japanese-style room, 2 Western-style rooms and LDK.In "Matto" it is 4-5LDK type consisted of 1 Japanese-style room, 3-4 Western-style rooms and LDK.In "Hakui", it is nDK type consisted of several Japanese-style rooms, 1 Western-style room and DK.2) The use pattern of rooms for family circle, taking meals, bedrooms, entertaining guests (way of dwelling) is varies with lifestages, dwelling unit plans, housing types (detached houses or condominiums) and dwelling area.3) Residents of "Kanazawa" are not satisfied limited storage space. In "Matto", residents are not satisfied the lack of means of conveyance and few culture and community facilities.4) Residents want to have ceremonies of New Years'Day, betrothal and memorial services (Hoji) in their own houses from now on. But few want to have ceremonies of marrige and funeral in their own houses. More residents in "Hakui" want to have these ceremonies in their own houses than in "Matto".5) Many residents in "Matto" and "Hakui" want to live separately at a short distance with their married children, if they are aged. But in actuality, they guess they will live together in the same house or separately at a long distance.
