This paper aims on evaluating existing high and medium rise apartment houses and understanding those characteristics at central area in local city, by the research on Nagaoka City. As a result, after dividing the households in 3 types for both owned and rented houses, we clarify the resident image such as household composition, occupancy reason and unit size for each life stage. In addition, we examine the evaluation of residents on housing and environment and clarify that each household typology is highly satisfied except unit size, facility and parking space. And we clarify the relationship between material characteristics and residence consciousness.

Is it adequate or not. This paper makes it clear the rationality of this zoning application, mainly by analyzing difference of traffic generation patterns between peak time and day time according to use of floor.

This study is focused on atriums open to the public provided by private enterprises as a supplement to the lack of open spaces in the contemporary city. For this kind of atriums to be effectively used by city residents, attention should be paid to a disposition of pedestrian and resting spaces in the atrium as an important factor to be considered in the process of planning and design. First, atriums were classified based on the condition of disposition in the building and the form of main pedestrian path. Through the observation survey of the user's behavior, it was concluded that several physical conditions of the effective resting space were related to pedestrian paths. Tentative planning guidelines on each type of atriums were then proposed.

When we build a modal choice model including over three single-modal modes like car and bus and train, the Multinomial Logit model (MNL) or Nested Logit (NL) model has been used, generally. However, the Park and Ride system is a multi-modal mode composed of automobile as an access part and public transportation as a line hole. Therefore the existence of similarity between P&R and automobile or between P&R and public transportation cannot de denied. The GEV family modal choice models can consider the similarity between alternatives be making it possible for one alternative to belong to plural nest. This study verifies the applicability of GEV family modal choice models, namely Cross-Nested Logit (CNL) and Generalized-Nested Logit (GNL), to forecast the demand of P&R system.

Currently, disputes on construction of new residential buildings are intensified. Especially super high-rise condominiums, which can be classified as a new building type, are planned to be built as much as never before. Although the super high-rise has many aspects which are not clearly understood, Japanese procedures for construction and urban planning do not have opportunities to consider influences on surroundings by a new building project. The dispute on a plan of a super high-rise condominium at Kagurazaka shows that current system cannot function fully to do machi-zukuri based on discussion and participation by inhabitants.
