A Study on the Transferability of Regional Character in the Process of Redevelopment Projects

The redevelopment of the west area of Otsu Station is the subject of this project

Abstract

While the number of districts undergoing redevelopment has been increasing every year since 1969, it is said that it is necessary to consider the local context in order to create a unique community. However, there have not necessarily been many cases of redevelopment attempting to inherit the local context. 　In this study, we define local character as the local individuality that emerges through the sharing of local context, and using the redevelopment of the Otsu Station West District as a case study, we examine the nature of a process that can increase the possibility of inheriting local character before and after the redevelopment project. 　As a result, the Otsu Station West Area was able to develop the project with the inheritance of local character in mind by securing opportunities for right holders to participate in the project, devising measures to guarantee a wide range of rights such as integrated implementation with the rezoning project and construction of urban rehabilitation housing, and by the project owner's tolerance to accept such measures.
