A Study on the Planning Concept of Conservation Process in the Nogawa

Abstract

The aim of this article is to illustrate how a planning concept would conserve against city growth in the Nogawa. I interviewed to the community members. And principal data were documents for analysis; newspaper articles, planning reports, and research reports. As a result, It indicated that 'Santamamondaicyousakenkyukai' was started that aimed nature conservation at Nogawa in 1972. They were the first community. The community founded a clear vision, and it was performed. And then they published a article titled "Mizube no kukan wo simin no te ni (To give citizens' hands the space of waterside)", in which they showed the conservation idea and their visions on the Nogawa. The concept of the water system; (1) 'region grasp', it was caught widely beyond the basin, (2) 'to cooperate with natural environment'. This concept was accepted by the citizens. They always use for a walk in the Nogawa, 'nature watching' 'preservation and conservation' and 'the novel about Nogawa is the emblem'. From this study, it is necessary to create the events and the visions are protecting the place.
