Popis: Abstract In this study, the habitation history and building repair history of wooden private houses in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and the circumstances that result in their repurposing as shared houses are investigated. Simultaneously, the nature of the repair work is grasped, and the features of the lifestyles of the tenants and space evaluation are explained by habitation condition analysis of youth single households with observational research. As the examples have space conditions suitable for their use as shared houses and repairs are performed by the manager, they can be repurposed as shared houses with low rents. The degree of satisfaction of the tenant's shared habitation is high; therefore these wooden private houses are model examples that demonstrate the possible practical use of wooden private houses as shared houses.
