Analysis of the relationship between the surrounding environment and facility uses in urban redevelopment projects

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify how facility uses are determined for newly developed complexes resulting from large-scale urban redevelopment projects in recent years. To this end, we conduct a multiple regression analysis of the projects recorded in the Complete Record of Urban Redevelopment and Urban Area Redevelopment Projects in Japan (Volumes 8 and 9), using facility uses as the objective variables and the surrounding environment of the buildings as the explanatory variables. The results suggest that the area of previous uses, building characteristics, land uses and district characteristics of the development area, and urban characteristics are related, with building characteristics being the most relevant.
