FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION OF HYUGA-CITY URBAN DESIGN COMMITTEE FOR PLURAL PUBLIC PROJECTS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

In city-center renovation, it is usual that several development projects including public and private facilities are employed. Furthermore, on the viewpoint of city-center revitalization, the promotion of the public utilization of these facilities is important. That is, the total management of development projects and approach to public is required. However, this management usually becomes difficult because the various organizations concerned are based on their own institutional systems. In Hyuga City, the railroad elevation, new station building, station parks, land re-adjustment, shop-concentration in shopping districts were executed in the city central area. The city established 'Hyuga City Urban Design Committee' to manage these projects. This paper analyzed and evaluated the roles and functions of the committee, based on the project records and questionnaire surveys. This paper revealed that the committee actually played the total management role well for these projects.
