This study obtains some conclusions as fo11ows. 1."KAKOIKATA" was quite general before 1970's. After 80's its sense of territory became more specific. 2.More than 70% of surveyed cases are in the form of "LD/K" composition.This phenomenon has something to do with Taiwanese cookery. 3.Vertical way(two floors)of composition emerged in early 1980's. 4.More than 66.8% of house entrances are "CHOKUNYAKATA".However "GENKAN" is getting more attention.Its occupation has been grown from 11.9% in 1970's to 33.3% in 90's
