Abstract
Historical research was conducted from a socio-cultural perspective while revisiting previous discussions on the Gappo Park as a case study. The analysis focused on the following three points: first, tracing Eisaku’s involvement in the park plan of Hanazono ward until the point of setback; second, examining the situation around the establishment of the Gappo Park in Namiuchi along the old Ohshu road; and third, exploring the subsequent development of the park after its donation to Aomori Town. The results revealed that Eisaku had made significant strides towards the establishment of the park in Hanazono ward until the setback occurred due to lack of support from residents. However, following this setback, the establishment of the Gappo Park in Namiuchi was achieved with the cooperation of his supporters and Governor Yamada of Aomori Prefecture. The memorial service was an impetus for the development of the park with the cooperation of local residents. After the park was transferred to Aomori Town, Aomori Town and Aomori City, facing the small park area relative to the population, expanded the park land with the memorial service as the axis, making the south entrance of the park the main entrance, and thus built the foundation for today's Gappo Park.
