The goal of this study is to examine and understand the influence of Ildefons Cerda's concepts, particularly the "Street-Block" system, on modem-day Barcelona. To do this, we first outlined I. Cerda's Plan, focusing on his concepts for city planning. Second, we conducted an analysis of urban planning in Barcelona after the drafting of I. Cerda's Plan in order to understand the influence of the Plan on the city's urban evolution. As a result of our analysis, we conclude that I. Cerda's ideas played, and continue play, an important part promoting a healthier living environment for the people of the city. Even the "Street-Block" changed morphologically, it continues being the structural unit of Barcelona. Moreover, the urban interventions taken by Barcelona should be recognized as a valid method toward the revitalization of an urban area.

Reproduction of the declining shopping center in the central city area has been a subject in many district minor cities. On the other hand, there is a way which reproduces it by supplying a high quality residence there, and increasing settlement population. One of the enterprise techniques which realize it is Tsukuba system. We compared Tsukuba system with Equivalent Exchange system on enterprise profit, and it turned out that Isukuba system was advantageous in low floor are ratio type redevelopment, and became advantageous also in high floor area ratio type redevelopment according to a landowner's enterprise management policy.

This paper aims to investigate and clarify the procedures of treatment and redevelopment process of former factory and landfill sites known as brown-fields in the United States. Investigation methods are interviews and site visits. It concludes that U.S. have two applicable laws, such as national 'Superfund' law for highly contaminated sites and state's 'Voluntary Cleanup Program VCP' for low level of contamination with more linkage to reuse the site. It also clarified that while Superfund law strictly regulates polluter's liability, VCP exempts third parties liability to encourage reuse and redevelopment by developers and buyers.

This paper proposes a method of creating a virtual city space on a website using GIS-VRML with the aim of formulating a consensus-forming system for a townscape on the Internet. The effect of increasing the degree of reality of the virtual city was also investigated. A questionnaire survey on general visitors to the site revealed problems in involving citizens. The problems in the stage of creating a townscape on the website were examined by comparison with video images to select an effective method of formulating a virtual city space. Based on these results. the use of the created virtual city space for the consensus-forming system for the townscape on the web is discussed in this paper.

The built-up area of Higashi-Muroran is divided by railway line. Elevated railway project surely solves the problem. So, members of Higashi-Muroran continuous elevated railway project research organization requested the project into Muroran comprehensive plan but it wasn't accepted. Muroran Chamber of Commerce and Industry requested to lighten criteria of the project choice. In 2000, the criteria of the project choice were relaxed by the central government. So, Higashi-Muroran area satisfies the criteria because superannuated overpass bridges to be replaced by new ones are regarded as railroad crossings. Activities of the organization were also reviewed.

The risk in terms of works due to dispersion in efficiency of construction works are analyzed using data in actual construction and Monte Carlo simulation method with PERT model. The improvement of production efficiency requires introduction of risk concept and theory of constraints (TOC) in schedule control. Especially, optimization of the whole schedule planning and feasible schedule control considering the resource constraints of persons or equipments are important.

2000.10.6 Tottori-ken seibu earthquake and 2001.3.24 Geiyo earthquake hit at Chugoku area, fortunately the extensive damage and economic losses did not occur though accelerations of lg or greater on the horizontal were recorded at several sites. Concerning reinforced concrete buildings, only one apartment building collapsed and one school building was severely damaged. A few numbers of buildings were moderately damaged. Objective of this study is to clarify the seismic performance of damaged RC buildings in two earthquakes using results of seismic evaluation method and data from the inspections. It is pointed out following results 1) it is difficult to evaluate the seismic performance only using seismic performance Indices Is. 2) it is necessary to consider concrete strength and defect sprung up at the constructions.

In this paper, new damage estimation method is proposed amd applied to Sendai city region. The advantage of the proposal method is to make it possible to recognize the relation between multivariable and damage rate as a certain pattern of the system in real-time. The method can lead to estimation of total number of damaged wooden houses with little information. The validity of the method is examined using damage estimation data executed by Sendai city.

200 1.3.24 Geiyo earthquake hit at Chugoku and Shikoku area, fortunately the extensive damage and economic losses did not occur though accelerations of Ig or greater on the horizontal were recorded at several sites. Analytical studies conducted on the instrumented eight story steel reinforced concrete building which experienced ground accelerations of about 0.2g during this event are presented in this study to demonstrate the ability of nonlinear response analysis to predict performance of steel reinforced concrete buildings subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. Quite good correlations were obtained between the recorded and calculated response of the building.

A lot of hospital buildings in Kobe area were damaged by Hyogoken-Nanbu earthquake. But the precious teachings are not reflected in emergency medical treatment system. The questionnaire was performed in order to clarify the present condition of earthquake disaster measures of hospital in Sendai and Kofu city. Consequently, it turns out that the measures are not progressing in the hospitals and the doctors are interested in base isolation system. In this paper, the seismic values of seismic isolated buildings are compared with seismic resistant ones. We propose an evaluation method of seismic value of hospital buildings based on value engineering concept.
