This research focuses on families with children and their use of air conditioning in the living environment. Questionnaire-based surveys were distributed to the families to ascertain the reasons behind their choice to use air conditioning, and to understand if there is a cause and effect relationship behind their choices. The findings of this survey are as follows:   ・Of the families surveyed, 98% had air conditioning, whereas only 74% had fans in their homes.   ・Over 50% of the families surveyed said that they would open a window first as a way to reduce heat in the living environment.   ・One of the main reasons for reducing the use of air conditioning was consideration for the children's health. This finding was widely cited by the families surveyed.   ・In terms of the reasons for reducing air conditioner use, saving on energy and environmental considerations were less important than health considerations for both children and adults.   These findings and trends are similar to the results of previous studies conducted by the researchers. What was significant in this study was that adults chose the health of their children as a priority when deciding whether or not to use air conditioning in their living environment.

When young, one of the authors heard someone say 'In fact there's little difference between the refreshing waterfall sound and the traffic noise on roads.' So-called good sounds include insects' chirping, tinkles of the wind-bell and piano tunes. Bad ones include noises of trams or machinery. What makes the difference between a 'good sound' and a 'bad sound'? This paper intended to visually compare the frequencies of various sounds using Windows Media Player. The results obtained were as follows. 1. So-called good sounds generally had sharp fluctuations in their frequency ranges as shown on attached graphs. 2. So-called bad sounds had less sharp fluctuations in their frequency ranges, hence did not show a clear sound. 3. However, the fluctuations of the waterfall sound and the fluctuations of the traffic noise of the road were not very different, which suggests for some sounds the existence of other factors such as listeners' psychology; memories of the past, the milieu and connotations.
