In 1980 s in quite a few districts in central Kyoto residents tried to regulate plans of high rise buildings because of the expected environmental impact to the neighborhood. This article try to describe and evaluate those cases in the point of view of regarding them as trials of voluntary land use control by residents. Until 1987 some cases are found in which they tried continuous land use control, but most of them are unsuccessful.
