This proposal is a planning approach of “Evaluation - Optimization - Management” to renewal the public elementary school as a nucleus of a new community by private initiatives. As for the Makomanai district in Sapporo, the population decrease and the declining birthrate and a growing proportion of elderly people in recent years are remarkable as well as other suburbs of Japan. Therefore, making the school size proper is being examined by the Sapporo city board of education. It is judged that it is proper to thin out two of four elementary schools in the district though a concrete plan has not been decided yet.
