Abstract
This study aims to investigate the change in residents and the succession of dwelling with the aging of suburban detached housing areas. We surveyed the residential area maps and the movement of middle aged and elderly dwellers on a housing area in Yokohama City. The paper discusses: 1) the relationship between change in residents and scale of houses; 2) the characteristics of the later life stage dwellers about the change in dwelling and the next housing selection; and 3) the patterns of succession of dwelling from aged family households to young family households and the factors in preventing the succession.
