Abstract (in English)

Vernacular building techniques and system for timber-framed residential buildings practiced before WWII in various regions in Japan were induced to disappear due to government policies adopted since the 1950s. This is because government policies on building construction aimed to standardize construction techniques and system all over Japan regardless of different climate characteristics and diversity in custom and did not have a room for vernacular buildings techniques and system to be practiced. The government policies need to be redefined so as to give the local stakeholders back the right to define policy and make decisions by themselves based on their own reassessment of the values of the vernacular building techniques and system.
