Study on the ideal way of the designation of Residential Promotion Area

Focusing on the Spatial Character

Abstract

In this study, we focus on areas outside Residential Promotion Area, targeting Area-divided local cities making Urban Facility Location Plan, and aims to clarify the making process of the plan and to give suggestions on how to designate Residential Promotion Area in the future. We classify the target cities using the ratio of the inside and outside of Residential Promotion Area to both the original Urbanization Promotion Area and the extended one. Then, we analyze the spatial characteristics from the viewpoint of public transport, infrastructure development and population density, and select 6 detailed target cities. From the analysis and interview survey, we find the following points. 1) Residential Promotion Area should be designated after selecting from various viewpoints centering one index. 2) It should not include places where there is a high risk of disaster, and it is desirable to designate the area based on the location of existing urban areas and the status of land use.
