国立大学キャンパスの分布形態の変化に関する研究

抄録

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the factors which affect the changes in higher educational facilities in respect to the geographical distribution of campus. This was done by tracing their actual movement over the last three decades. Particular focus was given to national universities. Four patterns of changes were observed : (1) unification of campus into one main campus, (2) unification of campus to newly developed campus, (3) addition of campus to existing campus, (4) removal of campus without unification or addition. As a resulf of this study, the following 4 factors affecting the above changes were clarified : (1) conflicts between a) a desire for higher educational facilities to maintain a close internal integration and b) campus dispersion, (2) conflicts between a desire for expansion of higher educational facilities and a rigidity of campus against growth, (3) interdependency between higher educational facilities and the surrownding community, (4) tendency for universities or colleges to physically symbolize past achievments and history. While the first and the second factors tend to promote changes of distributional pattern of campus, the third and the fourth factors tend to restrain the physical movemenf or transfer of campus. Most observable changes in the campus distribution patterns of Japanese university and college can be explained by a balance bettween these four factors.
