This study examines the utilization of railway station plazas and roadside stations for regional design as hubs that serve multiple regional functions including tourism and disaster prevention.
First, questionnaire surveys indicated that both visitors and residents placed emphasis on transportation functions. For visitors, expectations were found to influence overall satisfaction. Residents recognized the landscape around transportation facilities as symbolic. Next, analysis of workshop minutes among stakeholders suggested that the opinion-exchange format can facilitate operational improvements and more flexible planning beyond existing guidelines. Stakeholder collaboration may also contribute to data collection. Finally, GIS (Geographic Information System) analysis and review of planning documents suggested that facilities outside urban planning areas can be incorporated into location optimization plans. Document reviews and survey identified gaps in incorporation of facilities into disaster prevention and DMO (Destination Management/Marketing Organization) plans in the tourism sector, highlighting the need for improved cross-sector collaboration.
In conclusion, this study highlights three perspectives for utilization of transportation hubs in regional design. A) The findings suggest that basic functions remain important when promoting multi-functional utilization. B) Incorporating mechanisms for stakeholder dialogue into operational and planning processes is vital. C) Promoting a shared understanding of methods for incorporating transportation hubs into planning frameworks beyond the transportation sector is necessary.
