Abstract
This study focuses on the parking lots distributed in the peripheral area of city center, and aims to clarify how function they carry out to support the city center from the view of land use and parking lot use. Firstly, we elucidate the characteristics of parking lots through quantitative analysis, and thus point out that the peripheral areas of city center supply parking lots whose characteristic is different from parking lots in city center. Second, we classify 52 rental parking lots into four types, and therefore make clear that the peripheral area of city center can contribute them adjusted to various users needs. Finally, we clarify the tendency that part of parking lots distributed in the peripheral area city center is converted into apartment houses for the residents who want to live in central area in recent years.
