- Comparing with early land use zoning before the War -

Abstract

This study clarifies characteristics of zoning in post-war reconstruction urban plan of WWII in 28 local cities, comparing with early land use zoning before the War. Zoning designation of each city had been done along zoning decision standard of 1933 in addition to that of 1946. Although standard of 1946 sought for ideal land use zoning, there were some examples of redesignation along present land use condition. The cases that effective land use planning took powers in built-up areas were only those related with land use readjustment projects like new commercial districts, etc. While there were few examples of implementing highly exclusive zones, we have many examples of designating precisely by dividing into small districts.
