Abstract
This study aims to search for the possibility of the designation of City Planning Area or zoning area for Article 22 areas of Building Standard Law designated for the area out of City Planning Area or the non-zoned area. Then, we select four municipalities as a detailed case study, and understand the condition of Article 22 area from the hearing investigation and the survey of existing circumstance. As a result, we clarify the followings. 1) There are population accumulation and urban land use around Article 22 area also outside the City Planning Area. 2) It is necessary to treat Article 22 area as an index with the formation of urban area, and to designate the City Planning Area. 3) It is necessary to designate zoning area immediately for Article 22 area at the non-zoned area. 4) The intention of the municipality is given to priority about the designation of the City Planning Area and the zoning area.
