THIS PAPER ELUCIDATES THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TOWN NAME IN SEOUL UNDER JAPANESE RULE IN COMPARISON WITH THAT IN PYONGYANG AND TAIPEI. THE AUTHOR POINTS OUT SOME“SUCCESSION” THROUGH THREE STAGES(LEE DYNASTY ERA, JAPANESE COLONIAL ERA AND INDEPENDENT ERA) WITH ANALYZING CHANGES OF THE TOWN NAME, RELATION BETWEEN THE TOWN NAMES IN EACH STAGES AND PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS THESIS IS FIRST TO CLARIFY MAINLY THE PRESERVATION SYSTEMS AND THE CONDITION OF ITS APPLICATION IN ORDER TO GRASP THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE ADMINISTRATION FOR THE PRESERVATION OF HISTODCAL BUILDINGS AND ENVIRONMENT IN TAIWAN,AND THEN TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE PRESENT PROBLEMS. AS THE SYSTEMS TO PRESERVE HISTORICAL BUILDINGS AND ENVIRONMENT, THERE ARE 2 SYSTEMS:(1)THE SYSTEM BASED ON CULTURAL PROPERTY LAW (2)THE SYSTEM BASED ON CITY PLANNING LAW. AT PRESENT, 275 HISTORICAL BUILDINGS AND 2 DISTRICTS ARE PRESERVED BY THE FORMER. AND 2 DISTRICTS ARE PRESERVED BY THE LATTER.

THE HISTORY OF URBAN PLANNING IN TAIWAN DURING THE COLONIZED PERIOD, IS STUDIED WITH A VIEW THAT COLONIZATION ACCELERATED TAIWAN’S MODERNIZATION, OR WITH AN OPPOSIT VIEW, THAT THE URBAN PLANNING IS EXECUTED AS A METHOD OF PROFIT EXPRESSION USUALLY. THIS PAPER WILL TRY TO ELCIDATE THE CONFLIT POINTS. FOLLOWING RESULTS WERE OBTAINED, AT THE BEGINNING OF COLONIAL MANAGING, JAPAN GOVERNMENT OPERATED SEWERAGE WORKS AT THEIR RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT FOR REASONS OF SANITATION. SEVERAL YEARS AFTER, THEY PREPARED THE URBAN PLANNING LAW AND IMPROVED THE STREETS OF TAIWAN'S CITIES. THE HISTORICAL CITIES OF TAIWAN　GOT A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION AT THE VERY TEN YEARS DURING JAPAN COLONIZED IT.

FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO MARTINI WAS ONE OF THE FAMOUS ARCHITECTS ON THE 15TH CENTURY. HIS FAME DEPENDED ON THE MILITARY ARCHITECTURE, THE CITY PLANNING AND HIS DESCRIPTION. WE CALL IT AS TRATTATI ON WHICH HE RECORDED AND STUDIED THE ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURE AND THE CITY PLANNING. BUT LOT OF PARTS OF THEM WAS RE-DESCRIBE OF VITRUVIUS'S “DE ARCHITECTURA”ESPECIALLY ON CITY PLANNING. ON THIS POINT OF VIEW, COMPARING VITRUVIUS'S CITY PLANNING AND FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO'S DESCRIPTION AND ALSO REAL ANTIQUE CITIES, THIS PAPER MADE CLEAR FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO'S ORIGINAL TREATMENT OF THE ANTIQUE CITY PLANNING.

THIS PAPER AIMS TO REVEAL HOW THE CITY OF EDO IS SPATIALLY STRUCTURED, IN HER DAYS OF FOUNDATION, BY THE META-PHISICAL COSMOLOGY OF THOSE DAYS, AND BY WHICH HOW THE REALISTIC SPATIAL STRUCTURE AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IS INFLUENCED UPAN. BASED ON THE ORIGINALLY-MADE DOT-MAPS OF ELEMENTS OF THE META-PHISICAL COSMOLOGY, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF FINDINGS FROM EXISTING EDONOLOGY STUDIES, GEOGRAPHICALLY CONPARATIVE ANALYSIS WAS CONDUCTED AND THE FINDINGS ARE AS FOLLOWS. 1)DOMINANT META-PHISICAL AXIS HAS EXISTED IN THE CITY, ON WHICH LIES THREE SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS OF TOKUGAWA SHOGUNATE. THE ARC OF THE AXIS IS 72 DEGREE IN ANTI-CLOCKWISE FROM GEOGRAPHICAL ONE. 2)THE CITY HAS BEEN CIRCULALY SURROUNDED BY THE BELT OF META-PHISICAL ELEMENTS WHICH INTENDED TO GUARD THE CITY FROM OUTER EVILS' INVATION AND CAUSED TO RESTRICT THE CITY'S SPRAWL. ETC.

THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OF AZABU KASUMI-CHO WAS THE CASE THAT WAS DEVELOPED THE DAIMYO RESIDENCE'S SITE AND MANAGED RENTED GROUND AND HOUSE BY ABE-FAMILY IN MEIJI ERA. THIS STUDY MADE CLEAR THE ACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF MANAGEING RENTED GROUND FROM TAISYO ERA TO AFTER THE 2ND WORLD WAR. WE OBSERVED THAT THE TRUST COMPANY PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PARTS FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE LAND OF THE PEERAGE'S LAND.

THE POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL MODERNIZATION HAD OCCURRED AT THE TRANSITION PERIOD FROM EDO ERA TO MEIJI ERA IN JAPAN. IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS THESIS TO CONSIDER HOW THAT MODERNIZATION HAD EFFECT ON SPATIAL CHANGE OF URBAN OPENSPACE OF EDO TO TOKYO. OUKAN OF EDO, WHICH SPATIALLY CORRESPONDS TO PRESENT ROAD, HAD WORKED AS AMUSEMENT QUARTERS OR SOCIAL COMMUNICATION PLACES. BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE OF LANDOWNING-SYSTEM FROM FEUDALISM TO MODERNISM AND THE INTRODUCTION OF VEHICLES FROM WESTERN EUROPE AT MEIJI ERA, THE CHARACTER OF OUKAN HAD ALTERED TO A ROAD WHICH IS MAINLY FOR TRANSPORTATION UNDER OFFICIAL MANAGEMENT. AND SOME FUNCTION ELIMINATED FROM OUKAN HAD BEEN ALLOTTED FOR THE PUBLIC PARKS ALSO UNDER OFFICIAL MANAGEMENT. IT COULD BE CONCLUDED THAT THE PUBLIC PARKS HAD EMERGED AS VERY MODERN SPATIAL APPARATUS.

IN NAGOYA CITY, DURING 1920S, PLANNING STANDARD OF LAND CONSOLIDATION WERE DEVELOPED. IN EARLY TIMES OF 1920S, LAYOUT OF BLOCK AND SITE, AND DESIGN OF COMMUNITY ROADS WERE NOT SO SUITABLE FOR HOUSING, BUT IN LATER 1920S THEY BECAME TO BE LIKE NEARLY THAT OF LAND REAJUSTMENT. AND THERE WAS NO NECESSITY TO LAYOUT ANY PARK IN PLANNING OF LAND CONSOLIDATION ON REGULATION, BUT 2 AREAS HAD SOME PARK IN THEIR PLAN. THESE EXPERIENCE OF HIGH CRITERION OF LAND CONSOLIDATION IN NAGOYA CITY, CONTRIBUTED TO ESTABLISH THE NATIONAL PLANNING STANDARD FOR LAND READJUSTMENT IN 1933.

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES ABOUT FACTORS OF EVOLUTION OF LAND READJUSTMENT (LR) IN NAGOYA CITY BEFORE W.W.II. IN THE EARLY OF 1910S, LAND VALUE BECAME DRASTICALLY HIGH IN TOKO LAND CONSOLIDATION (LC) AREA. AS LAND OWNERS UNDERSTOOD THAT PREPARATION FOR URBANIZATION MADE LAND VALUE EXPENSIVE, LCS AND LRS INCREASED AFTER THAT. OTHERHAND ADMINISTRATIVE CITY PLANNERS HAD TO PROMOTE LRS IN ORDER TO REALIZE THE ESTABLISHED CITY PLAN IN 1920S. BUT LAND SUPPLY BECAME SURPLUS BY EXCESSIVE LCS AND LRS, LAND OWNERS WERE WILLING TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL OF CITY PLANNING PROJECTS WHICH COULD ENCOURAGE URBANIZATION. THUS, BECAUSE INTERESTS OF LAND OWNERS WERE CONSISTENT WITH ADMINISTRATION'S, MANY LRS WERE DEVELOPED.

THIS STUDY AIMS TO MAKE CLEAR THE CHANGES IN THE URBAN STRUCTURE OF CITIES IN THE TOKYO'S 30-KM AREA AND THEN, BASED UPON THESE CHANGES, TO FIND OUT POSSIBLE PLANNING ISSUES AND PROBLEMS THROUGH A CASE STUDY OF THE HISTORY OF URBANIZATION OF NODA CITY, CHIBA PREFECTURE. FOR THIS PURPOSE, WE DIVIDED NODA'S URBANIZATION HISTORY INTO THREE PERIODS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHANGING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND EMPLOYMENT. OUR FINDINGS INCLUDE THE EXISTENCE OF DIFFERENT “COMMUNITIES” IN DIFFERENT PERIODS OF URBANIZATION AND THE NEED FOR, AND IMPORTANCE OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL EFFECTIVELY THE PRIVATE URBAN DEVELOPMENT.

MOST CASTLE-TOWNS CAME UNDER THE APPLICATION OF THE TOWN PLANNING LAW OF 1919. AND THEN, THEY PLANNED A STREET NETWORK IN EACH CITIES. THIS PAPER AIMS TO CLARIFY A POLICY OF PLANNING STREET NETWORK ON HISTORICAL URBAN STRUCTURE IN CASTLE-TOWN AREA. IT IS CLEARY TO BE FOUR PATTERNS IN STREET NETWORK. EACH PATTERN'S PLANNING METHOD IS DIFFERENT WITH CONSIDERING OF FOLLOWING IN SPATICAL STRUCTURE.

IN SEPTEMBER, 1987 THE COMMITEE STARTED WITH ITS WORK IN ICHIBANGAI,KAWAGOE CITY. IT IS THE LEADING ADVISORY BOARD FOR BUILDING CONSERVATION IN THIS AREA. THIS STUDY ANALYSES THE ROLE AND THE LIMITATIONS OF THE COMMITEE AND SHOWS WHAT KIND OF CONSERVATIONS TOOK PLACE. THE COMMITEE MADE GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS TO CONSERVATIONS, ALTHOUGH SOME ESTATE OWNERS DIDN'T ACCEPT ITS ADVICE. THEREFORE IT IS NECESSARY TO EXTEND THE COMMITEE'S ROLE, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED TO ITS PRESENT ROLE OF CHECKING PLANS PRESENTED BY DEVELOPERS.

THE POSITION OF THE LAND USE CONCEPT MAP IS DETERMINED ONLY BY NOTIFICATION, WHICH BECOMES THE ACTUAL MAIN SUBSTANCE OF THE MUNICIPAL LAND USE PLAN. THE CONCEPT MAP PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE PRELIMINARY ADJUSTMENTS PRIOR TO THE FINAL DECISION ON THE ZONING. OBSERVATION OF THE CLASSIFICATION OF LAND USE ACCORDING TO THE CONCEPT MAP, THERE ARE MANY CASES IN WHICH THE CLASSIFICATIONS REGARDING GREEN AREAS AND AREAS FOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE SET INDIVIDUALLY. THE VIEWPOINT ON THE SETTING ASIDE OF AREAS IN THE LAND USE MASTER PLAN, HOWEVER, IS ONLY THAT SINCE FARMING AND FORESTRY IS AN INDUSTRY.

“URBANIZATION CONTROL AREA” IS AN AREA WHERE URBANIZATION IS RESTRICTED. BUT IN THIS AREA THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF DEVELOPMENTS. MOST OF WHICH ARE ALLOWED BY DEVELOPMENT PERMISSION. THOUGH “DEVELOPMENT PERMISSION” HAS A GREAT INFLUENCE ON REDUCTION OF FOREST AREA. IT HAS A “STANDARD” ABOUT PRESERVATION OF FORESTS. THIS PAPER INVESITIGATES THE “RATIO” AND “STATE” OF FOREST IN SOME EXAMPLES ALLOWED BY DEVELOPMENT PERMISSION IN KANAGAWA AND SAITAMA PREFECTURE, AND CONSIDERS HOW TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

THIS PAPER EXAMINES THE SPREADING OF URBAN AREAS AND THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS OF DESIGNATED ZONING AREAS IN KOREAN AND JAPANESE PROVINCIAL CITIES. IN JAPANESE THREE CITIES, LOW DENSITY AREAS ARE SPREADING ALONG THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK. ON THE OTHER HAND, IN KOREAN THREE CITIES, HIGH DENSITY AREAS ARE SPREADING. THE CONTRASTIVE SPREADING OF THESE URBAN AREAS IS INFLUENICED BY THE DIFFERENCE OF THE LAND-USE CONTROL SYSTEM BETWEEN JAPAN AND KOREA. IN THE JAPANESE CITIES, URBANIZATION CONTROL AREAS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO COPE WITH THE SPREADING OF LOW DENSITY AREAS. IN THE KOREAN CITIES，‘GREEN-BELT’DESIGNATED IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF CITIES HAS REGULATED URBAN SPRAWL AND ‘GREEN DISTRICT’IS DESIGNATED INSIDE THE GREEN-BELT. FROM THESE, IT IS FOUND THAT THE KOREAN CITIES HAVE AN INTENTION OF LEADING HIGH DENSITY URBAN DEVELOPMENT.

THE ZONING SYSTEM ATTEMPTS TO REALIZE THE PLAN OF THE MOST RATIONAL AND EFFECTIVE LAND USE BY THE BUILDING REGULATIONS. SO THE AUTHORIZED ZONING DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO BE ENDURING. BUT IN CASE OF HACHIOUJI CITY, THE ZONING DISTORICTS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED MANY TIMES. THIS PAPER HAS CLEARED THE CAUSES OF THE MODIFICATION OF THE CITY IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA AND SUGGESTED THE PLANNING PROCESS OF THE ZONING DISTRICTS TO BE STABLE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO CONSIDER THE DEFINITION AND MEANING OF THE ‘LOT’AS THE SPATIAL UNIT OF LAND USE CONTROL. IN SO DOING, THE PAPER EMPLOYS A COMPARATIVE APPROACH BETWEEN JAPAN, THE UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN. OUR ANALYSIS BEGINS WITH EXAMINING THE DEFINITION OF LOT IN THE THREE COUNTRIES, FOLLOWED BY THE IDENTIFICATION OF KEY CONCEPTS COMPOSING THE LOT DEFINITION. THESE KEY CONCEPTS ARE DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL PURPOSES OF URBAN PLANNING AND FINALLY, THE LOT SUBDIVISION AND THE LOT MERGER ARE EXAMINED.

IT IS FEARED THAT “ZONING AND ANNEXED TABLE” SYSTEM IS SO RIGID THAT CANNOT COPE WITH NEWLY INTRODUCED INDUSTRIES. THE SURVEY FOUND FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: 1)THE ITEMS IN A ANNEXED TABLE HAVE BEEN DESIGNED IN CONSIDERATION OF ALL THE INFLUENCES UPON RESIDENTIAL AND/OR COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT; AND 2)THEY ARE DESCRIBED BY VARIOUS EXPRESSIONS TO BE APPLICABLE TO ANY NEW INDUSTRIES. FOR THE CONCLUSION, THE SYSTEM IS EFFECTIVE FOR MIXED-USE DISTRICT.

THIS PAPER AIMS TO GRASP THE STATE OF ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDLINES, THE BETTER USE OF THESE GUIDLINES IN CITIES, WARDS, TOWNS AND VILLAGES, AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE. ANALYSIS USING QUESTIONAIRES GAVES US THE FOLLOWING FINDS, (1) WEEMBODY EXPENDING ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDLINES. (2)THE BETTER USE OF GUIDLINES ARE POSITIVE ACTIVITY. (3)IN THE FUTURE, THESE COPE WITH PROBLEMS OF USING, AND EXPAND THESE SUBSTANCE.

IAM CONCERNED WITH POSSIBILITY AND LIMITATION OF THE LOCAL PERFORMANCE OF BUILDING REGULATION. THE PERFORMANCE OF BUILDING REGULATION IS BASED ON POLICE POWER USUALY. IN ACCORDANCE WITH LIKE THIS REGULATION, THE LEVEL OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF BUILT-UP AREA ONLY COMES UP TO THE LOWEST STANDARD. THEREFORE, IT IS NECESSARY TO DEVISE THE ORIGINAL. OR UNIQUE IOCAL PERFORMANCE IN ORDER TO REALIZE THE HIGHER LEVEL CONDITION. THIS RESEARCH PAPER SHOWS THE CASE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE URBAN LANDSCAPE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDE LINE OF IBARAKI CITY. THIS CASE IS AN USEFUL INSTANCE TO CONSIDER SUCH A SUBJECT.

IN THE STUDY, WE SURVEYED THE ACTUAL CONDITION ON WALL AND HEDGE IN THE DETACHED HOUSING AREAS BY BUILDING AGREEMENT. ALSO, WE SET OUT BOTH QUESTIONNAIRES TO THE COMMUNITIES CARRYING OUT BUILDING AGREEMENT AND TO THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREAS. THROUGH THE ABOVE SURVEY AND QUESTIONNAIRES, WE COULD MAKE CLEAR THE POSSIBILITY OF GREENING BY HEDGE IN DETACHED HOUSING AREAS BY BUILDING AGREEMENT, AND PROPOSE HOW TO LEVEL UP THE GREENING BY HEDGE IN THE AREAS.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO MESURE THE EFFECT OF THE FLOOR AREA RATIO REGULATION ON LAND MARKET. IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN THE MECHANISM OF CHANGES OF LAND PRICE, WE IDENTIFY THE LAND MARKET SEGMENTATION IN TOKYO METROPOLITAN AREA BASED ON THE SIMILARITY OF LAND PRICE CHANGES DURING 1975 AND 1992 BY CLUSTER ANALYSIS. THEN WE EXPLAIN THE STRUCTURE OF THE SPATIAL REPERCUSSION OF LAND PRICE WITH THE TIME SERIES MODEL.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO KNOW HOW THE CONDITIONS OF THE LOCATION OF BUSINESS , SUCH AS THE ACCESSIBILITY TO EXISTING MAJOR BUSINESS DISTRICTS DENSITY OF THE BUILDINGS AND THE RATIO OF THE ROAD , EFFECT ON THE MIXED LAND USE , HOW WE SHOULD SELECT RESIDENCE-BUSINESS MIXED LAND USE AREA WITH THESE THREE INDICES AND HOW WE DEAL WITH THE SELECTED AREAS CORRESPONDING TO THE CHARACTERS EACH DISTRICT HAS.

THIS PAPER ANALYSED THE RELOCATION OF THE BUSINESS FUNCTION IN THE SUBURBAN CORE CITIES IN TOKYO METOROPOLITAN AREA, AND AIMED AT THE NEW CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, MAKUHARI WHERE RECENTLY THE BUSINESS FUNCTION REMOVED FROM THE HEART OF TOKYO. AND EXAMIND ON THE MERITS OF THE COMPANIES, THE MERITS OF WORKERS, THE MAGNIFICATION OF OFFICE SPACE, THE OFFICE AMENITY, THE OFFICE RENT COST, THE MOVING, AND THE TIME REQUIRED TO GET TO THE OFFICE BY THE RELOCATION OF THE BUSINESS FUNCTION IN THE SUBURBAN CORE CITIES.

THIS THESIS AIMS THE DEVELOPMENT OF BUILDING CONTROL REGULATIONS TO A NEW TYPE OF METHOD. FIRSTLY, THE PRESENT REGULATIONS ARE ANALYZED AND INSPECTED IN DETAIL. THIS ANALYSIS CONSISTS OF THE QUANTIFICATION OF VARIOUS KINDS OF CONTROL ELEMENTS AND THE COMPARISON BY FLOOR-AREA-RATIO (FAR). NEXT, ALSO TO BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND REGULATIONS, TWO NEW CONCEPTS (NORTH-SPACE-WIDTH AND FLOOR COVERAGE OF N-METER LEVEL HORIZONTAL SURFACES) ARE PROPOSED HERE ASA A NEW TYPE OF CONTROL METHOD OF BUILDING STYLE AUD VOLUME. FINAL PART IS A BRIEF CASE STUDY BY USING THESE NEW CONCEPTS.

ON THIS PAPER, IT COULD BE GRASPED AN INFLUENCE THAT A LAND READJUSTMENT BROUGHT TO THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF INHABITANTS CONSIDERING THE RELATION BETWEEN THE RESULTS OF TWO INVESTIGATIONS. ONE WAS ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF INHABITANTS AND THE OTHER WAS A SURVEY OF THE PROCESS OF RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS FOR 20 YEARS. IN RESULT, 6 TYPES OF THE RESIDENTIAL DISTERICT WERE CATEGORIZED BY THE LAND READJUSTMENT AND THE PHYSICAL TRANSITION OF EACH OF THEM, AND THEY MATCHED WITH CONTENTMENTS OF THEIR INHABITANTS. IN ADDITION, IT COULD HAVE DEFINED THAT THE LAND READJUSTMENT COULD MAKE SECURE, HEALTHY AND CONVENIENT FOR EACH DISTRICT, BUT COULD NOT BRING COMFORT AND AMENITY TO THEM.

IN THIS PAPER, THE EFFECTS OF THE FAMILY LIFECYCLE ON OUT-OF-HOME ACTIVITIES ON NON-WORKDAYS ARE ANALYSED USING THE DATA COLLECTED FROM A ACTIVITY DIARY SURVEY IN TOKYO METROPOLITAN SUBURBS. FIRSTLY, THE EFFECTS OF THE FAMILY LIFECYCLE ON THE JOINT ACTIVITIES BETWEEN FAMILY MEMBERS, THEN, THE PATTERNS OF ACTIVITIES CLASSIFIED BY THE SHAPES OF THE “ACTIVITY PATHS”, ARE ANALYSED. AS THE RESULTS, FOLLOWING POINTS ARE FOUND. THE RATES OF JOINT ACTIVITIES BECOME LOWER ACCORDING THE PROGRESS OF LIFECYCLE. THE PATTERN OF ACTIVITIES OF A HOUSEWIFE WITH SCHOOLCHILDREN DIFFERS FROM THE AVERAGE PATTERNS IN THE OTHER LIFECYCLE STAGES.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO PRESENT THE NEW METHOD OF IMPROVEMENT OF THE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT （“REDEVELOPMENT”,“IMPROVEMENT”, AND “CONSERVATION”）. GENERALLY, AT THE BUILT UP AREA, THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDING ACTIVITIES BY LAND-OWNERS AND SO ON. THESE ARE ORDERED BY THEIRS AGREETMENT AND BY PROMOTION OF ADMINISTRATION (PROVIDE FUNDS, EASE BIULDING REGULATIONS…, ETC). WE CALL THE FORMER AS CO-OPERATIVE REBUILDING, AND THE LATTER AS PLANNED GUIDANCE. NOW, “CO-OPERATIVE REBUILDING METOD” IS A GENERAL TERM FOR THESE PLANNING METHODS.

THIS PAPER IS A CASE STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND THE VERTICAL LAND USE MIXTURE ALONG THE MEGURO STREET, TOKYO. THE AUTHORS SURVEY THE ALL SITES AND UNITS ALONG THE STREET AND COMPARE THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LAND USE MIXTURE AMONG DIFFERENT ZONING AREAS. THEY FIND THAT THE PATTERN OF VERTICAL LAND USE MIXTURE OF HIGH RISE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS SHOULD BE DESCRIBED AS A THREE TIERS RATHER THAN THE CONVENTIONAL TWO TIERS FRAMEWORK. THEY ALSO IDENTIFY THAT MANY CURB-CUT HAS BEEN MADE BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIXED USE BUILDINGS AND CONCLUDE THAT YOU NEED TO CO-ORDINATE THE PARKING SPACES AND TO REORGANIZE THEIR ACCESS WAYS AND NARROW ROADS IN THE BLOCK VIA SOME LOCAL DETAILED PLANNING.

IN THIS PAPER. WE PROPOSE A MICRO-LAND-USE MODEL TO SUPPORT URBAN MICRO-LAND-USE PLANNING AS DISTRICT PLANNING. THIS MODEL CONSISTS 0F THE PRESENT ESTIMATION MODEL AND THE TREND ESTIMATION MODEL. THIS MODELIS BUILT ON THE NEURAL NETWORK THEORY. WE APPLY THIS MODEL TO KOBE CITY AND NISINOMIYA CITY. AS A RESULT WE COULD CONFIRM ITS EFFECTIVENESS.

THIS PAPER SHOWS THAT REVEALED DEMAND FOR URBAN PUBLIC GOODS DEPENDS SIGNIFICANTLY ON THE STOCK LEVELS AND ATTRIBUTIONS OF RESIDENTS. THE RELATION HAS BEEN SUPPOSED PLAUSIBLY AND THEORETICALLY. WE SPECIFY IT WITH DATA FROM ANNAUL OPINION SURVEY CONDUCTED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND WITH CONVENTIONAL INDICATORS FOR URBAN STRUCTURE. WE FIND SOME NON-LINEAR AND COMPLEX RELATIONS ALTHOUGH WE USE ONLY THE SIMPLE DATA. THE CONCLUSION MUST BE USEFUL NOT ONLY TO STRENGTHEN THE THEORETICAL MODELS BUT ALSO TO EVALUATE ASSOCIATED POLICY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

THIS STUDY AIMS AT CONSTRUCTING THE TOOLS FOR SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS OF URBAN REHABILITATION PLAN IN THE LOW-RISE HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND AT POINTING OUT THE FUNCTION OF THE SUPPORTING TOOLS AND THE PROBLEMS IN CONSTRUCTING PROCESS. IN THIS STUDY, THE SIMULATION TOOL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE AREA AND SUPPORTING THE INDIVIDUAL RENEWAL FOLLOWING THE URBAN REHABILITATION IS CONSTRUCTED BASED ON THE INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR RESEARCHING THE EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION. AS A RESULT, THIS STUDY INDICATES THAT THE USEFULNESS OF THE SIMULATION TOOL DEPENDS ON THE COMBINATION METHOD OF THE INFORMATION CONCERNING PROPERTIES OF PLOTS SUCH AS LAND OWNERSHIP, FRONT ROAD CONDITION, AND REGULATIONS.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO DEVELOP A COMPUTER AIDED SYSTTEM FOR TOWN PLANNING. IN JAPAN, MANY COMPUTER SYSTEMS ARE EMPLOYED FOR PLANNING, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE DEVELOPED FROM A VIEWPOINT OF DATA MANAGEMENT. AS SUCH SYSTEMS ARE OFTEN CONSTRUCTED ON A LARGE SCALE, THEY ARE NOT QUITE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH FOR USING AS THE TOOLS FOR TOWN PLANNING. IN THIS PAPER, A COMPUTER AIDED SYSTEM，IN ORDER TO ASSIST PLANNERS IN DEFINING PROBLEMS, PREPAREING IMPROVEMENT SCHEMES, ARE DEVELOPED IN CONSIDERATION OF SIMPLICITY OF THE DATA MAKING PROCESS. THE SYSTEM IS INSTALLED A MICROCOMPUTER, AND USES DIGITAL TOWN MAPS RECORDED IN CD-ROM AS BASE MAPS.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO ELUCIDATE THE POSSIBILITY OF EVACUATION PASSAGE OF CUL-DE-SAC IN BUILT-UP AREA AND MAKES A PLANNING MODEL OF CUL-DE-SAC TYPE OF “MINIMUM UNIT OF PLANNING”. AT FIRST THIS PAPER OBSERVES THE STATUS QUO OF CUL-DE-SAC AND AFTER ANALYSIS OF THE FACT, CUL-DE-SAC TYPE OF PLANNING MODEL IS MADE. THE POINTS OF PLANNING MODEL ARE, 1) EVERY CUL-DE-SAC, OVER 20M, MUST HAVE EVACUATION PASSAGE, 2) EVACUATION PASSAGE HAVE 2M WIDTH. THEN PLANNING MODEL APPLIED IN SUMIDA-KU AND POSSIBILITY OF EVACUATION PASSAGE IS ELUCIDATED.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO ANALYZE BUILD-UP EFFECTS CAUSED BY THE ACCESSIBILITY FROM COLLECTOR STREETS IN SPRAWL DEVELOPMENT AREAS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO PLAN THE IMPROVEMENT SCHEME OF COLLECTOR STREETS FOR SPRAWL DEVELOPMENT AREAS. BUT THEIR EFFECTS TO FORM URBAN DEVELOPMENT ARE NOT CLARIFIED BY QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS. IN THIS STUDY, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE LOCATION OF BUILD-UP LOTS AND THEIR ACCESSIBILITY FROM THE COLLECTOR STREETS IS ANALYZED AT TWO SPRAWL AREAS IN TOKUSHIMA CITY. THE LOGIT MODEL IS APPLIED TO MEASURE BUILD-UP EFFECTS OF ACCESSIBILITY INDICES FROM VARIOUS KINDS OF STREETS.

ROADSIDE SHOP AREAS IN THE SUBURBS OF CITIES ARE A NEW PHENOMENA OF RETAIL ENVIRONMENT. IN THIS PAPER THE FORMATIVE PROCESS AND MECHANISM OF THE ROADSIDE SHOP AREAS IS ANALYZED. MAIN FACTORS OF THE FORMATION OF THIS TYPE OF SHOPPING AREAS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE EVOLVEMENT OF MOTORIZATION IN THE SOCIETY. COMMERCIAL DEMANDS AND WIDER ROADS BECOME A IGNITION OF THE FORMATION OF ROADSIDE SHOP AREAS.

THE AIM OF THIS ARTICLE IS TO REEXAMINE DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT WHICH HAS BEEN POPULAR IN THE 1970S' AND 1980S’ IN JAPAN. THIS THEORY WAS PROPOSED TO IMPROVE LOW-RISE AND HIGH-DENSITY BUILT-UP AREA, WHICH HAD BEEN FORMED AROUND THE CENTRAL AREA. IN THIS ARTICLE, THE FOLLOWINGS ARE DISCUSSED; 1) ON THE DEFINITION OF DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT, 2)ON THE POSITION OF IMPROVEMENT IN THE URBAN RENEWAL THEORY, 3) ON THE PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF IMPROVEMENT. AFTER THESE BASIC EXAMINATION BOTH ON THEORY AND PRACTICE, THE FRAMEWORK OF NEW RENEWAL THEORY WOULD BE PRESENTED.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO THROW LIGHT UPON THE COMPANY'S ROLE OF URBAN FACILITY ADJUSTMENT AND WHAT URBAN FACILITY ADJUSTMENT BY THE COMPANY'S PHILANTHROPY SHOULD BE, CHOOSING NIIHAMA CITY, EHIME PREF. AMONG MANY COMPANY TOWNS. BESSHI STATION OF SUMITOMO METAL MINING & CO.,LTD. BUILT INDEPENDENTLY THE PUBLIC ROAD AND THE PORT BEFORE WORLD WAR Ⅱ. THESE FACILITIES WERE TRANSFERRED FROM THE COMPANY TO THE LOCAL GOVERMENT AFTER THAT. IN THE WELFARE FACILITIES, THE HOSPITALS AND THE PRIVATE SCHOOLS HAVE PLAYED THE MOST IMPORTANT ROLE. NOW THE COMPANY LEASES PRIVATE LANDS TO THE LOCAL GOVERMENT WITHOUT COMPENSATION AND SO ON AS PHILANTHROPY.

NOWADAYS, SURROUNDING OF FACTRIES LOCATED IN CITY HAVE BEEN DETERIORATED BY THE CHANGE OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SITUATION. THE PROPOSE OF THIS PAPER IS TO COMPARE THE CASE IN WHICH INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTWITH IS MAINTAINED WITH THE CASE IN WHICH THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT IS CONVERTED INTO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, ANALYZE INFLUENCE OF LAND USE CONVERSION IN MEDIUM FACTRY SITE ON LOCAL FINANCE AND ABSTRACT THE PROBLEM OF LAND USE MIXTURE OF INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ON CITY PLANNING. THE RESULT OF THIS CASE STUDY IS AS A FOLLOW :CONVERSION OF THE INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT INTO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT DOES NOT NECESSARY INCREASE IN LOCAL TAX REVENUES, EMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE PROCESS OF URBANIZATION AND ITS MECHANISM IN LAND READJUSTMENT AREAS AFTER THE PROJECT. WE EXAMINE THE CHANGE OF THE LAND USE OF EACH LOT UNIT IN FOUR AREAS IN OSAKA PREFECTURE, BY USING THE DATA FROM REGISTER BOOKS AND AIR PHOTOGRAPHS. AND ALSO TRACE THE TRANSFER OF LAND OWNERSHIP WHICH IS IN CLOSE CONNECTION WITH THE PROCESS OF URBANIZATION.

THIS STUDY CONCERNS HOW TO MAKE RATIONAL LAND READJUSTMENT PLANS, BASED ON COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN SYSTEM. IN THIS PAPER, CONCEPT OF LAND READJUSTMENT PLANNING IS DEFINED FROM VIEW POINT OF OPTIMIZATION PROCESS IN ORDER TO GIVE THE STRUCTURE OF THIS PLANNING PROCESS. THE ALLOCATION PROCESS OF THIS PLANNING IS FORMULATED AS STACKELBERG-PROBLEM. THEN, A METHODOLOGY IS PROPOSED WHICH CAN REALIZE LOGICALLY CONSISTENT LAND READJUSTMENT PLANNING BASED ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONCEPT. FINALLY, THE ADAPTABILITIES OF THE METHODOLOGY AND OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE ARE EXAMINED IN THE PRACTICAL EXAMPLE.

THE COMMON FACILITIES, CHOKAISHO, MANAGED AND OWNED BY CHO COMMUNITIES, DURING THE EARLY MODERN TIMES ARE EVEN TODAY ONE IMPORTANT MODE OF CHO MANAGEMENT. IN SPITE OF THE GREAT SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES IN THE PAST RECENT YEARS THESE FACILITIES HAVE PRESERVED AT LEAST SOME OF THEIR HISTORICAL ROLE IN THE LIFE OF CHO COMMUNITIES OF A HISTORIC CITY, KYOTO. WE FOCUSED IN THE PROFILE OF USE MANAGEMENT OF THESE FACILITIES AS WELL AS IN TRENDS OF CHANGES THESE FACILITIES FACE TODAY.

MAJOR PART OF THE CREMATORIUMS IN JAPANESE GREAT CITIES ARE PUBLIC. NEVERTHELESS FEW PRIVATE CREMATORIUMS EXIST IN TOKYO, YOKOHAMA AND OSAKA. THESE PRIVATE CREMATORIUMS HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WHICH WE HAVE TO SOLVE THAN PUBLIC CREMATORIUMS. THIS PAPER PRESENTS SOME DIRECTIONS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING FOR PRIVATE CREMATERIUMS, FOR EXAMPLE SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN PLANNING THE ROADS ACCESSING TO THEM.

THE TRADITIONAL EQUILIBRIUM MODEL DEALS WITH EXTREME CONDITIONS FROM A BEHAVIORAL VIEW POINT IN THE SENSE THAT ALL ROUTES UTILIZED BETWEEN EACH 0-D PAIR MUST HAVE THE SAME ROUTE COSTS, AND ROUTES WITH HIGHER COSTS ARE NEVER USED. SUCH CONDITIONS ARE VERY SIMPLISTIC AND NOT SUPPORTED BY THE RANDOM UTILITY THEORY. THIS STUDY FOCUSES ON A TRIP MAKER'S ROUTE CHOICE BEHAVIOR ON A ROAD NETWORK. THEY ARE THE PURPOSE OF THIS PAPER TO ASSAY THE DRIVER'S ROUTE CHOICE BEHAVIOR BY MAPPING OUT METHOD, AND TO COMPARE THE STOCHASTIC NETWORK EQUILIBRIUM MODEL PROPOSED BY FISK WITH THE PROBABILISTIC TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT METHOD PROPOSED BY DIAL.

A NUMBER OF TECHNIQUES FOR EVALUATING A LEVEL OF SERVICE ON ROAD NETWORK SYSTEM HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. THE EEVALUATION METHOD USING THE MAXIMUM NETWORK FLOW IS ONE OF THEM AND HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO PRACTICAL PROBLEMS AT TIMES. THIS IS PAPER PRESENTS A NEW METHOD, IN WHICH THE MAXIMUM NETWORK FLOW CAN BE OBTAINED BY THE PROCEDURE OF INCREMENTAL ASSIGNMENT SETTING A LIMIT TO THE MAXIMUM FLOW BY THE DEGREE OF SATISFACTION ON TRAVEL TIME, AND SHOWS SOME APPLICATIONS TO KANAZAWA URBAN AREA AS A CASE STUDY. THIS PROPOSED METHOD IS COMPARED WITH THE CONVENTIONAL ONE USING DEGREE OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN ORDER TO KNOW THE RELATIVITY OF THOSE METHODS.

β−VALUE AND R-INDEX BASED ON THE GRAPH THEORY AND ROAD DENSITY ARE USED VERY OFTEN TO EVALUATE THE FORM OF ROAD NETWORK. BUT, THEY ARE NOT USEFUL TO ANALYZE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ROAD NETWORKS AND LAND USE OR LOCATION OF MAJOR FACILITIES, BECAUSE THEY ONLY SHOW THE PROPERTY OF NETWORKS AS A WHOLE. THEREFORE, WE PROPOSE NODE DISTANCE DISTRIBUTION(N.D.D). THIS PAPER ALSO SHOWS THAT N.D.D IS MORE SENSITIVE THAN β OR γ TO THE CHANGE OF NETWORK IN MANY POINTS OF VIEW. FINALLY, THREE CITIES (OITA, URUSAN, FUKUOKA) ARE ANALYZED USING N.D.D AS EXAMPLES.

EVALUATION OF ROAD NETWORK IS IMPORTANT IN ROAD ARRANGEMENT PLANNING. THIS STUDY AIMS TO DEVELOP THE METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LINK COMPOSING A ROAD NETWORK. THE SIGNIFICANCE IS CONSIDERED ON THE BASIS OF TRAVEL DEMAND AND NETWORK CONSTITUTIONS;ROOT, LINK AND OD-PAIR. FIVE INDICES FOR REPRESENTING THE SIGNIFICANCE, RELATED TO ROOT VOLUME, ROOT DISTANCE, LINK VOLUME, LINK VELOCITY AND NODE HIERARCHY, ARE PROPOSED. SEVERAL SIMULATIONS REVEAL THE INTERESTING NATURE OF THESE INDICES. AN APPLICATION TO THE FUKUOKA CITY REGION ENABLES TO EXTRACT SIGNIFICANT LINKS AND TO EVALUATE THE ALTERNATIVES.

THE SUBWAY-NETWORK IN TOKYO HAS SPREAD ITS OWN AREA AND DENSITY YEAR BY YEAR. IT GIVES USERS THE CONVINIENCE OF TRANSPORTATION, ON THE OTHER HAND THE DIFFICULTY OF DESINING NETWORK. SO THIS PAPER AIMS AT ADDING “LEGIBILITY” TO THE NETWORK AND MAKING IT WORK AS A GEOGRAPHICAL PERCEPTION SYSTEM. THEREFORE, AS THE FIRST STEP, THIS PAPER INVESTIGATED HOW AND WHY USERS COGNIZE ON THE SUBWAY-NETWORK, AND ANALYZED THE STRUCTURE OF COGNITION AND MISTAKE. CONSIDERING THE ADVANTAGE OF THE FORMER AND THE DISADVANTAGE OF THE LATTER. WE SUGGESTED AN IDEA FOR PROMOTING “LEGIBILITY”（OF SKELETON STRUCTURE)OF CITY.

SINCE MID-1980S ROTARIES HAVE BEEN REEVALUATED AND WIDELY USED IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. THESE ROTARIES HAVE A RELATIVELY SMALL CENTRAL ISLAND AND THE OFF-SIDE PRIORITY RULE IS APPLIED TO THEM. MOREOVER, ROTARIES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE A USEFUL TOWN PLANNING TOOL, BECAUSE ROTARIES ARE SUITED TO THE TREATMENT OF TRANSITION ZONES AND BECAUSE ROTARIES LEND THEMSELVES WELL TO LANDSCAPING. IN THIS PAPER, THE TRENDS IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE INTRODUCED, THEN THE HISTORY OF ROTARIES IN TOKYO ARE REVIEWED BRIEFLY, AND FINALLY MEASURES TO REVIVE ROTARIES IN JAPAN ARE SUGGESTED.
