Under the tendency of declining population and progressing aging society, and the increase of land pieces whose owner is unknown and whose management is inappropriate, the Basic Law for Land (BLL) was amended in March 2020. It provides measures to promote appropriate “management” of land, corresponding duties of a landowner, and implementation of proper management of land by making a strategic “land basic plan.” It complements the missing link in land management under the BLL before amendment and strengthens the land policies’ inclusiveness and their integrity. The amended BLL ultimately aims to construct a sustainable society, which we shall strategically approach by implementing the land basic plan.

This paper examines the possibilities of the revised Basic Act for Land in the context of resolution of issues on the abandoned houses and lands. The Basic Act for Land was established to tackle the land issues caused by skyrocketing land price during the bubble economy. Recently Japan faces issues of the population ageing and decrease. The paper explores three questions: 1) Is it possible to speed up the identification of owners? 2) Is it possible to ensure owners to conduct appropriate maintenance of their vacant buildings and lands? 3) Is it possible to enhance the utilization of low value houses and lands?

The purpose of this paper is to discuss what is necessary to solve the problem of vacant house and vacant land from the viewpoint of real estate science. In this paper, we firstly discuss the problem of vacant houses and vacant land by two case studies of utilizing vacant houses and vacant land, and secondary show necessity of the human resources for solving the problem of vacant house and vacant land. Namely, the problem of vacant houses and vacant land cannot be solved only by knowing the law, but it requires knowledge across fields such as law, business administration, engineering, economics, and finance. Real estate science is an interdisciplinary discipline, and it is a practical science that solves the problems of vacant houses and vacant land.

The social issue about vacant houses and lands in Japan need to be discussed from the following different aspects. First, the revised Basic act law for land in 2020 is not effective for solving the issue caused by vacant houses and lands because this law doesn’t mention the support system and penalties for them. As a result, the owners of vacant houses and lands keep them without managing. Second, the local government should focus more on training the staff on a regular basis. Extensive knowledge and experiences are essential to solve the issues about vacant houses and lands because these issues are relating to complicated things such as the law, construction, the human rights etc. Educating the staff on how to comprehend things from many angles and make important decisions will be effective in not only the issues about vacant houses and lands but also unprecedented situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper analyzes the features of the revised Basic Act for Land, which came into effect in March 2020, from the perspective of the problem of unknown land ownership. It discusses three issues that are central to addressing this problem: (1) fostering a common understanding of “appropriate use and management,” (2) promoting “creative utilization,” and (3) strengthening cooperation between the national government and local governments. The amendment points to the possibility of building a “new cycle” of land use and management and the importance of advancing specific measures that are aligned with the principles of the amended Act through closer collaboration among all concerned.

In recent years, using the data of property tax ledger has come to be expected for reducing the unknown landowner problem. However, there are few studies on the property tax ledger itself. Therefore, this study analyzed the maintenance situation of the property tax ledger quantitatively with an actual data in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Pref. The results show that only 1 percent had been updated and more than half had not, except for the “obvious”landowner data. Property rights system needs to be amended in order to solve the unknown landowner problem.
