Abstract

 In Japan, with the age of population decline, vacant land and vacant houses are increasing throughout the country. Therefore, when considering future urban planning, there is a need for measures to effectively utilize vacant land as green infrastructure and to convert it into a sustainable and harmonious city. However, the needs of citizens are likely to differ depending on age and lifestyle. In this study, we conducted a large-scale questionnaire survey in Moriya city, Ibaraki prefecture, and clarified the difference in the public's awareness of green space according to the attributes of the respondents. As a result of this study, it was found that the needs for green space are different depending on the age, parenting experience and household income.
