Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究で扱った第一次世界大戦直後の時期は，戦前の住宅改革運動や田園都市運動における議論の成果と反省を踏まえて，大戦直後の，建設活動の停滞期ながらも，住宅需要の増大を受けて新たな展開を示す時期であり，その後の大量生産期や近代建築運動までを見通す，住宅・都市の史的展開の一端が明らかになったことに意義がある。また，本研究が着目する郷土という主題は，都市と農村，近代と伝統，定住と移動との間に立ち上がる，時代を越えた普遍的な主題であり，現代社会の課題にとっても示唆に富む実り豊かな研究となった。
