This study understands the condition of the zoning area designation and presents the problems of the zoning area specification. We treat for the cities having Non- Area Divided City Planning Area where the zoning area has been newly designated after 1997.
In this study, we clarify the followings. 1) Many cities designate the zoning area that doesn't come up to 40 person population density per hectare. 2) Development has not been advanced and the farmland remains in the zoning area. 3) In addition, development is advanced outside the zoning area and there is danger of the sprawl of development even if the population of the city decreases.
