Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study examined changes and developments of bungalow style residences in Levuka, the Republic of Fiji, from their original styles to the current ones based on actual measurements focusing on plans, designs and structures. Verandah colonial style residences from 19 century exist in Levuka Historical Port Town. The survey results on 82 buildings showed the process of indoorization in surrounding verandahs. This indoorization started with rear verandahs to incorporate kitchens and bathrooms in late 19 century. In 20 centry, the indoorization was promoted with front verandahs by partitioning to use them as more public rooms such as living rooms or bed rooms.We confirmed the existance of similar styles developed in other countiries in Oceania region. it is considered that they have the same origin.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、フィジー諸島共和国レブカにおいて、主にバンガロー形式の住居の間取、意匠、構造などの特徴と変遷を、実測調査に基づく復原的手法によって明らかにした。レブカには18世紀以降の旧植民地時代からのベランダコロニアル形式の住宅が残存し、その82棟の実測調査から、周囲のベランダが室内化する過程について実証的に明らかにした。オセアニア地域にはこのベランダコロニアルの住居形式の発展が確認されているが、その起源については明らかでなく、本研究によって同様の発展があったと推測することができる。長崎などの日本への伝搬についてもベランダの回る初期の形式が伝えられたことが判明する。
