RESIDENTS' POST-REDEVELOPMENT RATINGS AND THEIR INTENTION TO PROMOTE DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT FROM THE ASPECT OF URBAN FORM CHARACTERISTICS

—A case sudy on Komagane city—

Abstract

Local cities are faced with reduction and aging of their populations associated with the hollowing-out of city centers. In order to solve these problems, regulations including the City Planning Law were revised, requiring public administrations to formulate an upper level plan. This has made it necessary for public administrations to extract beforehand districts where downtown redevelopment is feasible.
In this study, the authors investigated post-redevelopment ratings of Komagane City by residents in the city center and their intention to promote future downtown redevelopment based on the city's urban form characteristics.
This paper also attempts to estimate districts where downtown redevelopment is feasible, with residents being willing to promote downtown redevelopment, based on the characteristics of urban forms.
