Abstract
This study examines the roles of local community management associations at Brentham Garden Suburb in the UK. Its objective is to learn essence of the management system of housing environment by local community management associations that may be applicable to Japan. In this regard, the study is carried out to clarify residents' evaluation on housing environment and the local community management association at the housing area via the case study at Brentham Garden Suburb.
The study found that the residents tended to positively evaluate the activities of the association for maintaining landscape and housing environment. It implies that establishment of the management system is important for Japan, in which the management association has a right to participate in a planning and landscaping permission process at the same level as the residents and local authority.
