Abstract
To execute an integrated transportation policy and promote sustainable community development in Japan, it has sought the human resources development for practitioners involved in the policy. A non-profit organization Saisei-Juku has been promoting the activities of human resources development, and the construction of exchange network for practitioners who belong to various organizations. Its activities are paying off gradually. In the present study, we report a trial of Saisei-Juku Practical version as a new activity of the human resources development for practitioners. In Saisei-Juku Practical version, we have attempted to a social experiment Yukkuri-Tengoku by the pedestrianized main street of the shopping district by the vehicle traffic regulation, and the measure against an illegally parked bicycle by the installation of a temporary parking lot with local residents. Many local residents were able to have expectations and confidence which Machizukuri activities accompanied by the vehicle traffic regulation could be performed, through success of the social experiment tried together with the local community as these achievements. In addition, Saisei-Juku Practical version has become a new field of valuable human resources development in order to grow through the activities of the site clearly for the practitioners who were able to experience the social experiment together with the local community. For the promotion of the Area-Management, it is important that practitioners work in the human resources to coordinate the local community together with local residents, through that practitioners are involved in urban development project measures in the field.
