Abstract

The goal of this study is to elucidate changes in land divisions and housings of long-term dwellers in detached housing estate in a suburban area, concerning their transformation, integrity and succession. The area we investigated is Seijo Residential Area, which became a suburban residential area before World War II. In this study, we defined the long-term dwellers as those who had settled there since before WWII. Seijo Residential Area underwent two developmental stages and developed a mosaic of housing and leasing subdivisions with more variety in size than other early-stage residential areas. Major changes were mostly seen in the leased lands among all housing subdivisions. We categorized the changes in long-term dwellings into five patterns and clarified their differences in the patterns of changings in housing types and site scales. Finally, we focused on succeeded components in the residential areas that underwent a series of transformations, and discussed specifically about the methods for the preservation and succession of residential environments for the long-term residency.
