Abstract
The Large-Scale Retail Stores Location Law enacted in 2000 is uniform across the nation and does not reflect the characteristics unique to local cities. Therefore, many local cities have traffic problems attributed to large-scale retail stores. Thus, this paper discussed about the local standard for calculation of parking capacity in local cities as the solution. The local standard is obtained from the field surveys in 2002 and 2004 in Tochigi prefecture. From the result of the survey, this paper proposes the method t to establish unique standard in local region. Using this methodology, it is possible to set the local standard for other cities reflecting the different parameters of parking capacity.
