Creation of a Green Land on the Site of an Old Factory in the City’s Busy Quarters and the Regional Resilience

Abstract

Some companies which boast their long history have old factories in the city’s busy quarters. They sometimes create a green land on the site after they remove the factories. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and to reveal the significance of the creation making reference to the concept of resilience. There is a deep relationship between the regional resilience and the disposition of the company in the sense that they reinforce each other in the long run. This paper describes the state of the KOMATSU NO MORI which is located in the Ishikawa Prefecture as an example of the green land.
