Abstract
This study aims to clarify some issues and concerns in the system of vacant house renovation, a part of the Migration Promotion Project for Middle Aged and Elderly. Clarified issues include: 1)Although the renovation budget is limited to 1.5 million JPY, if the local government staff and tenants themselves are involved in the renovation, basic housing functions can be guaranteed. 2)By flexibly arranging rooms to meet with their lifestyles and making good use of outdoor space, current tenants are generally satisfied with their housing. However, despite the benefits, tenants are reported to suffer from coldness in winter. Thus, insulation reinforcement of living rooms and bedrooms remains as future work especially for middle aged and elderly tenants.
