In Japan there is so much agricultural land in suburban area. For long time this land has been thought as the source of supply for urbanizing use. But owners of this land(They are farmers.) have to get their money from this land. So, in this area to make good environment for residence it is important to think this land not only as the source of supply for urbanizing use but also as the place for farmers to live. Landscape Archtects should take part in the community development in this area, because they are the only city planning specialists who can understand farmers’ sense more easily than civil engineers and architects can. In this work the Agriculture and Housing Cooperative Association System is very efficient.
