THE EXECUTION OF REPAIRING OF THE TRADITIONAL BUILDINGS IN ARIMATSU PRESERVATION DISTRICT OF NAGOYA CITY

Abstract

Preservation of townscape has been being carried out under the system of “Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings” and local governments’ own independent codes as well, following the system mentioned first. Such preservation has been being done mainly in rural areas, but it is important in large cities as well since they have to face developers’ pressures to preserve their own townscape. Nagoya city, one of the active megalopolises, is a good example which has a code in order to preserve its own townscape. This research aims to clarify the actual situation of the maintenance of the traditional buildings in Arimatsu Preservation District of Nagoya City.
