Abstract
In this study, we focus on the electric track construction plans that were not completed in the Kyoto area in the 1910s, and clarify their characteristics, backgrounds, and the process by which they were not realized. As a result, we found that none of the plans were granted a patent, and the Kyoto Prefectural Government made the decision based on public interest. The two patented and the radial track that was not granted a patent connected the city to the surrounding villages on and along the main roadways, and thus were at the forefront of urbanization and population growth. It is worth mentioning that the electric track was expected to serve as a supplement to the roads, and that the villagers and promoters of the project were aware of the local issues and appealed for the need for an electric track.
