| Research Abstract |
This research examines the restructuring of compact public housing in under populated areas with low birth rates and an ageing population, and aims to create sustainable living spaces through renovation and reorganisation of these housings. By using countries such as Sweden as an example, even though there are major differences in the social backgrounds and national characteristics of the two countries, it is expected that comprehensive support can be provided to improve the public housing spaces in Japan through the following two methods : (1) assuring the quality and quantity by following Sweden's 'hard approach' and (2) emphasising the establishment and promoting the mechanism of the 'soft approach', such as training of key personnel who thoroughly understand and implement both 'hard' and 'soft' approaches. Moreover, it can be considered that a bottom-up system, which allows residents' involvement in planning and policy-making related to residential spaces, will be beneficial to under-populated areas.
