seaside park ordinance". The Tokyo Metropolitan

who live in metropolitan area about components of parks
were surveyed, and degrees of concern about components
of the parks have been obtained by conjoint analysis.

1) Hydrophile, 2)Rest space, 3) Public transport and
conditions of location, 4) Recreation, 5) Scenery and
outlook, 6) Maintenance situation, 7) Monument, and 8)
Openness. The following main results have been obtained
from the research. : a) Male and female think scenery
and outlook, and hydrophile are important. b) Rest space
is less important than other components for the twenties,
but important for the thirties, forties and sixties. c) Public
transport and location is not much important for
