It can hardly be seen in the most of the world that people still wears traditional dress for daily use. This study initiated at November 2008 and will be completed at March 2011. The reasons for wearing the Kanga were considered from sociological and physiological aspects of perspectives. Prior to the study, mechanical properties of the fabrics used in Kanga were evaluated, using KESF system. The results showed that hand values in KOSHI, HARI, FUKURAMI, and SHARI indicate positive values, which are remarkably larger than those of women’s thin dress fabrics KN-202-LDY. On the other hand, SHINAYAKASA of the Kanga indicated a smaller value, if compared to that of the KN-202-LDY. It can be inferred from the results that the Kanga fabric is suitable for warm climate, since it occupies air gap between the body and the fabric, owing to high SHARI, HARI and KOSHI.}, title = {東アフリカにおける民族服カンガの日常着としての受容に関する社会学的および生理学的考察}, year = {2009} }
