A research on the mechanizm of growth of non-residential uses in detached housing estates

focusing on the owner's life stage

Abstract

This research clarifies the mechanism of growth of non-residential uses in detached housing estates and considers the relationship with a use control by zoning. The examination indicates that non-residential uses come from two types, the one whose owner moves into a town for opening, and the other whose owner opens for any reason some years after coming. They differ in terms of location, way of growth, management and etc. and both contribute to a local community. As a result of analysis, it is suggested that a strict use control by zoning has a reducing effect especially on the latter type.
