This study aims to understand how the characteristics of the architectural space are manifested by applying two inquiry methods, the visibility graph analysis (VGA) and the analysis of occupants’ actions in combination. The visibility properties of a house are analysed in relation to the room layout and the distribution of occupant actions in two conditions, with or without an exterior. Subsequently, the sociality of vernacular houses is explored by applying these research methods together. This study uses five typical traditional private houses in Izena, Ryukyu as a case study. Keywords. Spatial Configuration, Visibility, VGA, Occupants’ Actions, Vernacular House, Izena, Ryukyu 1. Introduction An essential issue in architectural planning and design is understanding the relationship between human activities and spatial organization. These relationships can be applied to the design of the spatial configuration of a building that is expected to create a preferable relationship with the occupants.
