(1) Objective value of park size per head and district are especially used in securing park size.
(2) Municipal officers have an awareness of shortage of actual park size, they desire securing park size suited park function.
(3) There are especially many problems such as over enlargement of usage area or difficulty in securing necessary park size in lower population areas. The current basic-unit-based method sacrifice to suitable usage area in securing park size.
