In order to manage our house keeping and home life more scientifically and reasonably, it is certainly required to handle and manage our house ware utensils wisely. Therefore, I attempted to investigate the present condition of house ware utensils management in our country. As a result of this research I am sure we can get the approved materials about mechinized house work labor and working space research for saving house work labor, and energy consumption required in house work labor. Consequently, it can contribute to the improvement and enlightenment of our home life by showing the adequate measure against fatigue, and also the utilization of leisure time most usefully.
Moreover, it may further indicate the manufacturing order of the house ware utensils according to its degree in necessity demanding at our homes.
I tried hard to investigate this subject by classifying according to some different regions, such as Seoul Region, Middle Part Region, Yeungnam Region, Honam Region and Island Region. I selected in Seoul Region, Sajik-dong where most Korean old-fashioned traditional homes still remained with its own way of life. And also I selected some modern newly set up regions, such as Tongkyo-dong, Seukyo-dong, and Daekwang. Anam Mansion Apartment as a collective residential region in Seoul. In the Middle Part Region, I selected Koyang-gun and Chooncheun city and Cheungjoo city. In Yeungnam Region I selected Andong city, and Masan city. In Honam Region I selected several farm houses in Jeungup-gun and Kwangyang-gun. In Island Region I selected Jejoo city in Jejoo Island respectively.
The method of my research was to select 100 homes in each region selected, and to make some questions to those people to get their direct and honest frank answers.
The contents of the research were as follows:
(1) Condition of Managing Kitchen Unit and Kitchen Ware Utensils

(3) Condition of Furnishing Cooking Tools
(4) Condition of Managing Measuring Utensils
(5) Condition of Managing Dining Bowls and Dishes
(6) Condition of Utilizing Sewing Machine

(T. V., Stereo, Radio, Tape-recorder, etc.)
(8) As to the Research on The Order of Degree in Its Demanding for Necessary Utensils to be Furnished in the Future Time Usage, I asked some questions making 20 different items in order of their frequency of usage.
The conclusion made from the analysis is as follows:
(1) As of the condition of basic kitchen facilities, both in urban and rural regions are not sufficiently furnished with the proper facilities demanding greatly of improvement in sanitary aspect.
(2) It is very good to have a deep concern about the working space on the ground, however, it is desirable to study more about the utilization of the empty space as a whole virtically, too.
(3) Measuring the things at their cooking time they use measuring cup and spoon in the urban homes, but in the farm village homes, only under 10% of it being used showing that there is a big difference between urban and rural life in our country. However, we must first of all maintain the scientification of kitchen life as fast as possible.
(4) As of time-spending equipments, radio is the first place, and T.V. is also comparatively well prevailed all over the country now-a-days. So the most of their leisure time is being used by watching T.V. at their homes.
(5) I examined about the order of degree in its necessity demanding for the necessary tools and utensils to be furnished in the future time usage carefully, and I got the following result: In Seukyodong and Anam Mansion Apartment where the house ware utensils are comparatively well furnished already, the big utensils such as electric washing machines and air conditioners are greatly demanded while in rural village homes, the cooking tools such as iceboxes and electric ricekettles and mixers are much wanted.
