The 3411 ordinance, a development permit system, has been introduced in many municipalities. However, the increase in development has led to sprawl, and some municipalities have decided to repeal the ordinance. in Kurashiki City, which decided to repeal the 3411 ordinance, we surveyed the current status of development, the living environment of 3411 housing, and residents’ awareness of the ordinance. As a result, we were able to confirm from residents' trends and evaluation of the living environment that the ordinance was repealed because housing development spread over a wide area as a result of not designating land for development permission.
