Abstract
With the rapid development of urbanization in China, more and more houses
are being put up; however, the land resources available are quite limited. As a result,
the problem of residential development has become a contradiction between man
and land. Owing to the feature of this development situation, and the fact that the
majority of land resources are in the form of mountains or hills, people have to
consider how to develop mountainous areas to increase the living space. However,
in the process of building mountainous residential buildings, the protection of land
and environmental resources is often neglected due to the pursuit of the
maximization of commodity interests and the large demolition and construction of
land resources in mountainous areas, which result in the loss of land resources and
the occurrence of various consequent natural disasters.
Therefore, the author of this dissertation takes the opportunity of this dualdegree
training program between Tongji University and the University of Hawaii,
compares the similarities and differences of the development of residential house
between China and Hawaii, and draws vantages and advantages from mountainous
or hillside residential development in Hawaii to explore how to solve and improve
the development of China’s domestic mountainous residential houses and the
contradiction between man and land to provide guidance for the sustainable
construction of new rural housing in mountainous areas by examining the
characteristics and ideas of mountainous and hillside houses of development in
Hawaii.
This present thesis is divided into eight chapters. Chapter One serves as the
introduction, which mainly introduces the background, purpose and significance of
the research. Chapter Two presents the related theoretical research, which mainly
discusses related domestic and foreign theoretical research on the use and
development of mountainous areas and mountain cities from all ages, and makes a
detailed introduction to the contents of theoretical research based on the theories of
mountainous residential settlements. Chapter Three, the Historical Development of
the Mountainous Residences in Hawaii and Mainland China, focuses on and
compares the characteristics of the historical development of the mountainous
residential areas and the historical process of the use of mountainous areas in the
United States and China, and compares the differences between the two regions
through the perspectives of residential layout model, courtyard and public space as
well as road development, and concludes that there is a fundamental similarity
between them, namely, mountainous areas were by no means easy to reach before
there emerged powered means of transport. Chapter Four, the Modern Planning
Development of the Mountainous Residences in Hawaii and the Development of
Domestic Modern Mountainous Residences, focuses on and compares the planning
characteristics and mountain utilization features in the development of modern
mountainous residential areas in Hawaii, the United States and in China to find out
the differences and draw the surface similarities in the use of cluster layout model
in mountainous areas by means of progressive land use mechanism and planned
construction modes. Chapter Five, a Comparison of the Design Norms for
Mountain Residential Buildings in Hawaii and in China, mainly studies the
classification as well as planning and designing norms of the residential lands in
Hawaii and China, summarizes several typical directions to compare their
difference and reaches the conclusion that China can learn and benefit from some
norms in Hawaii. Chapter Six, A Case Study of the Practices and Characteristics of
Sloping Land and Mountainous Residences in Oahu Region, Hawaii, summarizes
the characteristics and features of the planning and construction of the two
categories of mountainous and hillside residential areas in Hawaii. Chapter Seven,
the Planning and Design of Mountainous Residential Buildings in FengGang
Township, completes the design of renewal, mainly targeted at Mainland China’s
current mountainous residential situation to provide innovative tips and renewal
programs for the planning and design of China’s mountainous and hillside
residential areas. Chapter Eight, Conclusion and Prospects, puts forward three
guiding opinions for the sustainable development planning model of the new type
of mountainous and hillside residences in China, looking forward to further and
more detailed research in the future.
The whole thesis illustrates the author’s reflections on the comparison of
mountainous and hillside residential buildings between Hawaii and Mainland China
and the consequent conclusions. Due to the limit of time and the limited vision of
the author, there is still some room to be desired.
