Study on Change of Residential Structure in Metropolitan Areas during the Period of Rapid Urbanization with a Comparative Analysis of Japan and China

通过对北京市郊区集体住宅居民的问卷调查，重点分析了近10年来北京市郊区集体住宅的住宅类型、户主年龄和地理位置。这种分析仅限于房屋所有者。通过分析发现，北京自住型住宅与东京相比，具有“业主年轻化”、“家庭成员少化”和“住宅面积大化”三个特点。当我们讨论住房政策时，有必要了解两个国家在住房供应方面存在明显差异。

In this study, housing type, age of householder and geographical location of houses built in a recent decade in the suburban area of Beijing are mainly analyzed with a survey of questionnaires to the residents of collective owned houses. This analysis is limited to owners of the houses. As a result of analysis, we found that owner-occupied houses in Beijing had three characters such as "younger owners", "smaller family members" and "bigger houses in area" than in Tokyo. It is necessary when we discuss about housing policy that we should understand there are clear differences between two countries in terms of housing supply.
