Description

The purpose of this study is to clarify the validity of the residents' self-built improvements as predictors of their intention on residential mobility while using the HAYASHI II (Qualification Method) as the method for the analysis. These self-built improvements were classified into three categories and these are; a) kinds of improvements, b) usage of improvements, and c) opinions on future improvements as shown in Figure 1. The data show that residents who installed grille balcony at the rear portion of their dwelling units and used them as kitchen and storage as well as residents who constructed mezzanine floors and used them for bedroom and storage have the intention to stay longer. On the other hand, some of the residents who had already made all the improvements and those who did not make any improvements are more likely to move out. The installation of grille balconies satisfies the residents' needs for kitchen and storage spaces, while the construction of mezzanine floors satisfies their needs for additional bedroom and storage spaces. These developments enhanced their sense of belonging to their dwelling units. Thus, the kinds of self-built extensions and occupation of spaces-which predicted the residents' intention to move or to stay-are valuable indicators of the residential mobility.
