This article focused on a project, financially supported by municipalities, to integrate adjacent lands and promote removal of narrow lands, lands unconnected with roads, and low-used and unused lands. It aimed to clarify achievements, attempts to promote the project, and the actual state of rebuilding after land integration. The results of a questionnaire which surveyed 14 municipalities showed that the necessity for removal or rebuilding in integrating land was related to achievements. To publicize the project, municipalities which didn’t require removal or rebuilding in integrating land cooperated with real estate agents or the Non-Profit Organization. Additionally, municipalities which required removal in integrating land enclosed project presentation with tax bill for removal of empty houses. Out of five parcels of integrated land, four met the minimum site area for rebuilding and in two fireproof buildings were rebuilt.
