The purpose of this study is to clarify the current achievements and issues, focusing on whether the deregulation of development restrictions in urbanization control areas has led to sustainable town development, taking the case of the special designated area system in Hyogo Prefecture as an example. The study shows that the Specially Designated Zoning System is functioning as a deregulation of development restrictions within the urbanization control area, as new buildings were found in Ono City, the target of the survey. On the other hand, it indicates that the system does not function sufficiently to solve problems in the urbanization control area because it is not said that it has influenced development trends, and there is no particular effect on the unoccupied house problem that is considered to be more serious in the future.
