Abstract
In densely built-up areas in the metropolitan region composed of wooden residences, excessively subdivided land use makes it difficult to implement an urban renewal project for environmental improvement and disaster prevention. This study aims to examine the feasibility of simultaneous land readjustment scheme between a densely built-up district and a newly urbanized district.
Based on a GIS-based diagnosis of land use and questionnaire survey, decision making structure of land owners is analyzed. Consequently, it is confirmed that relocation of land ownership between non-neighboring districts which is not allowed in the present scheme provides a significant incentive for the residents consensus to the project. It is also shown from a case study in western Tokyo that the validity of simultaneous land readjustment is strongly influenced by district characteristics, goal setting for urban infrastructure service, and acceptable ratio of land owners contribution.
