Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study is to clarify the thermal environment design methods of traditional houses and settlements. This study was conducted in the south part of Ibaraki Prefecture, Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture,Mogami in Yamagata Prefecture, Aizuwakamatsu in Fukushima Prefecture, Abukuma in Fukushima Prefecture, the north part of Hida in Gifu Prefecture, Tsushima in Nagasaki Prefecture, the south part of Oita Prefecture, and Amami in Kagoshima Prefecture. Based on the field surveys and literature reviews, the thermal environment design methods of traditional houses and settlements and the spatial compositions of traditional settlements formed by adaptation to climate, disaster, and industry were clarified in each area. The effects of the thermal environment design methods of traditional houses and settlements were verified based on the field observations of climatic conditions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

持続可能な社会や循環型社会の構築が重要な課題である現代において、伝統的な民家・集落に継承されてきた自然環境との調和を目指した環境デザイン手法に学ぶ必要性が一層高まってきている。本研究は、建築・都市デザイン手法へ伝統的な技術・文化を応用するための基礎的知見を得ることを目的とし、気候風土や災害に適応しながら形成されてきた伝統的な民家・集落の熱環境デザイン手法や集落空間構成を明らかにしたものである。
