| Research Abstract |
We surveyed the house plan and people's lives of farm houses and urban apartment houses in Dalian, Shenyang and Haerbin in Norhteast China between 2000 and 2003. These three cities are typical big ones in northern region of China. The research work was completed with the cooporation of universities of China. We cleared many characteristics of house form and living style as follows.
1) People have the typical house form with the original heating system of Kang peculiar to the northern region of China. Kang is very popular in rural districts. They adopt Kang both in traditional houses and new houses.
2) Kang is not only heating equipment. It is surely multi-functional system. That is, people use Kang as sleeping bed, sitting bench, work-table, playing space and so on.
3) We think, one of the most important functions of Kang is the clean floor space on it. People don't sit directly on the floor at all. People don't walk on the floor with their bare feet. People can sit directly on the Kang floor and enjoy their life in their bare feet.
4) Accordingly the Kang room is multi-purpose space. The room is serving as bedroom, living room, drawing room and so on. Namely the Kang room is both energy intensive and space-intensive. So it is very rational and is suitable for the life in the northern countries.
5) Also in urban apartment houses, we can find the typical life style similar to the case of farmhouses. Namely people use their bed in multi-purpose way.
6) Generally the northern China house design and living style are original and common to the northern countries. So we should study to prepare the new house planning and design suitable for the northern life in China and Japan.
