Community Sustainability from the Perspective of Maturation and Redevelopment in Senri New Town

Community Space and Local Organization from the Viewpoint of Redesign in Shin-Senri-Kitamachi

Abstract

In new towns across Japan, various problems have arisen, such as the rapidly declining birthrate, aging population, and deteriorating housing and community facilities, and moves to reconstruct housing complexes are in full swing. In order to examine what kind of awareness residents have about the community and how they can maintain and carry on their ties with the community in the future, Chapter 2 conducted a map analysis of Shin-Senri-Kita-machi to grasp the current status of land use change and redevelopment. In Chapter 3, we conducted interviews regarding community activities, and in Chapter 4, we conducted behavioral observations and interviews in the community space to examine the renewal and sustainability of the community of local residents following the redevelopment.
