− Focusing on three cities in province of British Columbia −

Abstract

Registration system is an important tool to preserve broader range of historic properties. Countries such as U.S. and Canada have register by municipalities other than the National Register. In comparison, almost all Japanese municipalities do not have such system. This paper reports the process and evaluation method of registration system in Canadian municipalities in British Columbia. We found the increase of a conservation target can be confirmed. We also found each municipalities can establish an original process according to the situation. Additionally, procedure can be made efficient by using an evaluation seat.
