A study on the actual situation of vacant lands and houses in suburban residential areas keeping the district plans located about 50 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo

A case study of suburban three residential areas in Chiba

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to perceive the actual situation of uses and conditions of vacant lots and houses in suburban detached housing areas, especially keeping the district plans, and we considered the influence of the district plans. We investigated three areas in Chiba prefecture, and checked the lots and houses according to our criterions. In conclusion, there are some troubles in gardens and exteriors related to trees and grasses, but no serious problems of houses at present time. Regarding uses of houses, there are some dwellings with offices and dwellings with private small preparatory schools and culture schools. Residents in the areas located about 50 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo need home offices and workings spaces at their own houses.
