Abstract
We carried out a questionnaire survey on municipalities of the Integrated Rural Development Model Project districts to grasp actual conditions of village park development as a basic investigation to develop planning method for village parks. In this report, we discuss park location, land selection and facility development, based on this analysis. We obtained the following results about characteristic tendencies:
(1) Municipal officers strongly tend to believe that existing public facilities have priority over settlement area in their relative locations, for land selection of village parks.
(2) It is difficult to secure land for parks, and conditions in selecting park location, such as safety, etc., tend to be the victim in securing park size.
(3) Requests for convenience facilities, etc., are tending to diversify. It shows that municipal officers are seeking to diversify the character of village parks.
