Abstract

This study focused on the trends and issues of geographical studies on condominiums in Japan by means of a paper review of condominium supply and condominium demands in urban geography. First, this paper analyzed the Japanese housing market since the Second World War to explore the housing institutions. Second, a paper review of literature from the perspective of condominium supply was described. Third, a paper review of literatures from a perspective of condominium residents was performed. In addition, changing residential structure due to increase of condominium supply was discussed. Finally, the themes that should contribute to the development of geographical studies on housing studies were discussed. Several studies on condominium supply clarified the relationship between condominium supply and change in land use. The development of urban residential structures according to the characteristics of condominium supply was also challenged in the present study. Furthermore, studies on condominium residents were conducted to clarify the characteristics of the residents by residential forms and housing submarket. Residential choices and residential preferences of condominium residents were analyzed frequently. Some studies investigate the condominium suppliers’ strategies with regard to changing housing needs and residential preferences of condominium residents that include the households’ structures and the individual backgrounds of the residents, and searching behaviors for condominiums in the metropolitan region and suburbs; such studies are worthy of discussion.
