Abstract

The Area Demarcation System, which was introduced in 1968 by the Town Planning Act as a measure to cope with severe urban sprawl, is the system to divide the Town Planning Area into Urbanization Promotion Area (UPA) where urbanization would be promoted under the appropriate planning control and the Urbanization Control Area (UCA) where urbanization should be restricted as a rule. But two problems rose in the system in the process of enforcement; one was that too much farmland and forests had been enclosed in UPAs and another was the many loopholes in the land use control of the UCA. One of the cause of the second problem was the system "KIZON TAKUTl" ,which was introduced by the Town Planning Act of 1968.This "KIZON TAKUTl" was abolished by the amendment of the Town Planning Act in 2000. Under this situation, the present report discuss the cooperatively relation between urban and rural land use in the Town Planning Area.
