公園行政部局が「営造物」と「地域制」を対比的に使い始めた経緯

抄録

This paper reveals the process of the governmental park authorities’ usage of “Chiiki-sei”, as opposed to “Eizoubutsu (public structure)”. “Chiiki-sei” is briefly a system to protect a designated area’s landscape etc. based on public regulations, not ownership or management rights of its land. The results were as follows. ①It is highly possible that the period of discussions on the Natural Parks Law draft in the National Parks Councils’ consultations and reports in 1951 marked the beginning of the usage of “Chiiki-sei” in contrast with “Eizoubutsu”. ②The “Chiiki-sei” was accepted by the park authorities of city parks in the Ministry of the Construction. This is due to the fact that “Chiki-sei” was used by Kashiro Ishigami, who, as the director of the planning division in the Ministry of Health and Welfare, had had experiences in the field of city parks’ establishment and had a network with the authorities of city parks in the Ministry of the Construction through negotiations at the time of establishing peoples’ parks. ③Testsumaro Senge, Ishigami’s successor, used “Chiiki-sei” as the same meaning. It is then probable that the usage of the word started to become popular, as explanatory books about the City Parks Law or the Natural Parks Law etc. were published.
