In the metropolitan industrial accumulation area such as the eastern part of Osaka City, there is an accumulation of small or medium-scale factories with an advanced network for dealings to manufacture high-value-added products. In recent years, however, there is a tendency that the factories are closed and the sites are replaced with houses and flats in the area. Then, the disordered land use brings various problems and deteriorates both residential and industrial environments. Thus, nowadays, the land use plan to control new housing location and to maintain factories' operation is necessary. In this paper, our aim is to examine the realities of the housing location in the industrial accumulation area and to analyze the actual condition of operating land use policy. Then, finally, we propose a policy to the restriction of disordered housing location.
