On the regional characteristics of modern elementary schoolhouses in snow regions -About Tohoku district-

本研究旨在探讨现代国小校舍的地域特色。以东北地区（青森县、岩手县、宫城县、秋田县、山形县、福岛县）和中部地区（新泻县、长野县）的校舍建筑平面图为例，分析了降雪与校舍建筑平面图的关系。在大雪地区（秋田、山形、新泻县），很多学校设有学生等候室.特别是在新泻县建造了一楼有大学生候车室、楼上有教室的校舍。由于在宫城和福岛县没有发现这种类型的校舍，因此我们认为这种类型的校舍是雪区的区域规划。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the regional characteristics of modem elementary schoolhouses. The floor plans of schoolhouses that were built in Tohoku district (Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata and Fukushima prefecture) and Chubu district (Niigata and Nagano prefecture) have been examined in the relation of snowfall.The results are as follows,1. Lots of schoolhouses contained students waiting room existed in the heavy snow regions (Akita, Yamagata and Niigata prefecture).2. Especially, the type of schoolhouse that contained large students waiting room in the fist floor and classrooms in the upper floor was built in Niigata prefecture. As this type of schoolhouse can not be found in Miyagi and Fukushima prefecture, so we consider that the type of schoolhouse was the regional plan in snow regions.
