Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to suggest a new perspective to the present situation of the coastal zone of metropolitan areas which has undergone a rapid environmental alteration according to various industrial interests.

In recent years, the situation of most coastal areas in Japan seems to have hit a certain limit without a contructive view. For instance, there have appeared waterfront projects, renewal of the port system, developements of recreational resorts at fishing villeges, and so forth.

These structual alterations, especially, by industrial purposes, ir.ideed have been serving certain interests. However, it has been a long time since various questions in terms of environmental breakdown in these areas were suggested. Inefficiency of industrial concepts as in the past has led the industrial use of many of these areas, substantially, to a collapse, along with the end of high-ratial economical groth in the last decades.

The study therefore consists of analysis and evaluation of the industrial use of the coastal areas. The analysis and evaluation are fully developed in order to prepared for suggesting new values,simoultaneouly, activation of the values on the vast industrial areas which have left without constractive importance.
