Concurrently, public libraries, crucial social education facilities in Japan, are expected to assume broader societal roles. In response, some Japanese public libraries relocated to address these challenges and new demands. However, there has been limited research focusing on the relocation process and its subsequent evaluation. This paper fills this gap by concentrating on relocated public libraries (RPLs) in Japan during the recent decade (2010–2020), aiming to investigate their relocation motivations and spatial improvement and evaluate their role fulfillment after relocation. By posting questionnaire sheets to 217 target RPLs, we collected 143 valid responses, did a cross-analysis on motivations, spatial changes, and library types, and evaluated improved role fulfillment postrelocation. Results suggest that public libraries are serving multiple roles in their communities, and their role fulfillment after relocation was linked to certain locational and spatial improvements. This research could help upgrade and reorganize public libraries in the future and contribute to the literature by understanding the relocation of public libraries from a dynamic perspective.","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12458","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141967256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Japan, as one of the most rapidly aged countries, has been reforming nursing homes for the elderly since the 1990s and established a long-term care insurance system. The purpose of this scoping review is to systematically map the evolution of researches for nursing homes in Japan since the 1990s, particularly with the post-occupancy evaluation of the introduction of private rooms and small units. Forty-three articles concerning privatization of rooms, shared spaces, and small unitization in nursing homes were extracted and analyzed. They were published between 1994 and 2021 in Journal of Architecture and Planning, AIJ Journal of Technology, JAABE, and JAR. The results revealed an evaluation of the privatized rooms mainly from the perspectives of residents' lives and care staffing, the effects and issues of the shared spaces introduced at the same time as private rooms, and the evaluation and issues on subsequent unit-type floor plans. This study offers significant implications to Asian countries that will have aging and aged populations in the near future by summarizing Japan's experience in dealing with realistic and practical problems over the past 20 years.","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To convert these buildings for use as accommodation facilities, improvements must be made to fire evacuation safety measures. An effective and reasonable measure for this improvement is the installation of wireless, interconnected alarm smoke detectors. We conducted experiments to examine how sleeping guests recognize these alarms when they are activated. Eleven participants experienced the alarm sounding while sleeping at night and while awake during the daytime at a wooden cottage. They were exposed to three different sounding patterns. In the sleeping experiment, 9 of 11 participants were woken up by alarms sounding in other rooms, while the remaining two were woken up by alarms in their own rooms. However, those two participants had difficulty understanding the meaning of the voice alarm clearly. The voice stated, “Other detector was activated,” indicating a fire in another room and urging evacuation, even though there was no smoke in their room. Comprehension of the alarm system is essential for guests to understand its intentions accurately and make proper decisions regarding evacuation.","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12453","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141536819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, in this study, an approach was proposed to assess the effect of changes in characteristics due to repeated deformations using the RSM for LPGMs and seismically isolated buildings using lead rubber bearings (LRBs). However, this study identified potential areas for improvement in the calculation of effective damping using the RSM. An effective damping calculation method of the RSM using an effective ductility factor is introduced to enhance the accuracy of the proposed method. The proposed RSM-based method was verified against the methods based on nonlinear time history analysis. The earthquake response prediction results using the proposed method were compared with those of not only the simplified method but also the precise and the quasi-precise methods. The accuracy of earthquake response prediction using the proposed approach is increased by 30%–50% when the effective ductility factor is used to compute the effective damping. Therefore, earthquake response can be predicted using the proposed method, and the accuracy achieved is similar to the nonlinear time history analysis.","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12452","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141488729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
