Park and greenery forms through participation of local residents after Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake

抄録

It is important to pursue a variety of park and greenery forms based on the special characteristics and demands of individual districts in which the residents are involved. In this paper, we deal with three typical cases as follows. 1. Minamiashiyahama Apartment Complex, which has terraced fields based on concepts of community-making, caring for an aged society, participation and process and post-quake restoration. 2. Fukae Ekimae Kaen, the flower garden located in front of Fukae station, constructed along the themes of volunteering, 'urban planning council', 'participation and process', 'post-quake restoration'. 3. The biotope pond in Hiraiso, which was based on ecology, life on Earth, recycling and participation and process. In order to create and manage green spaces, it is essential to have certain management system conditions such as an emerging NPO independent of voluntary organizations, community activation with greenery acting as a mediator, networking which is open to partnerships and NPOs, rules and frameworks for creating parks and greenery.
