The aim of this paper is to propose the interests linkage table and programs of building consensus focused on interest adjustment at urban public facility development. At first, it investigates the interests linkage table, and then, the process of building consensus at one case of urban complex development in Tokyo. This case is a typical type which ignored the interest and got into the serious dispute. It makes clear which stake holders and contents of interest are ignored at which stage. And it investigates the result of interest adjustment by change of design and surrounding improvements through conference. It points out problems of the methods of building consensus aimed at interest adjustment, that is, consistency of other private developments, plans and policies of interest adjustment against development, and program of building consensus with interest adjustment and principle.

In korea, unplanned development activities has persistently taken place on non-urban area ever since the amendment of zoning in National Land Use Management Act in 1994. Even the restriction of regulation on activities enforced by the government have not been so effective to prevent unplanned development activities. In order to solve the faced problems, government has undertaken a task to reform Land-Use Management and Planning System, and newly introduced secondary district plan. This study suggests a role of secondary district plan based on survey conducted in current semi-agricultural land zone and semi-urban land zone where newly introduced secondary district plan will be implemented, and examines the function of secondary district plan with respect to the current development activities and system in non-urban area.

In this study, we examine the "area of the land for agricultural use" designated in initial "improvement of the agricultural development area plan" and afterwards, find the tendency and evaluate the validity. Then, after picking up the typical authorities under strong development pressure, we examine the practical use for the delineation of the "area of the land for agricultural use". As the result, we find the differences of the delineation among local authorities. And we also find that which designate the area tightly rely upon the development for releasing the designated land, in turn, those which keep the wide area for non designated farmland suffer the development in the area.
