Urban railway station has played a major role in a spatial and functional integration concerning the space around station. However, the space of station and its surroundings is sometimes unsatisfactory for citizens.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the road which should be maintained stronger under risk of seismic hazard. We establish a restoration model in which blockade road is restored by choosing a restoration road that minimizes average time within each phase of the process. By the model, we simulate the process of restoration in various patterns of road blockade, and evaluate the restoration priority of road with four priority indices. First, we clarify that restoration priority depends on the location of disaster responding bases and that priority is significantly affected by main road. Second, we prove that the road network with hierarchy is more robust than that without hierarchy. Third, by applying the model to road network in Nakano ward, Tokyo, we reveal that high priority roads cluster around disaster responding bases and also form skeletal structure that connects those clusters.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze effect of government subsidy for seismic renovation with landscape conservation in historical built-up area. First, Willingness To Pay (WTP) for seismic renovation with landscape conservation was measured by CVM. Based on these values, the function which to calculate WTP was modeled by the concept of random utility model. From the result of the calculation, it was shown that economic value of historical landscape in south area of Tokushima was 2,475,440,000 yen.

This study focuses on the birth anddevelopment of "keikan" terminology and elucidates the process through which this terminology and other keikan-related concepts are formed. Keikan terminology was first used in Manabu Miyoshi's documents of 1902, referring specifically to the keikan of vegetation. These terms later entered the vernacular of trades such as landscape architecture. In the 1920s, Japanese geographers adopted the German Landschaft theory, and Taro Tsujimura used the term "keikan" as the Japanese translation for "Landschaft". It was theorized that "keikan" was a visual concept similar to "fukei", an interpretation that eventually became generally accepted by the public. The primary meaning of Landschaft, however, concerns the concept of regionality. As such, the fact that neither the English word "landscape" nor the Japanese word "fukei" carry connotations of regionality to the same degree has been much debated.

Although various urban redevelopment projects have operated in central districts of some local cities, most of the central districts are still showing a declining tendency. In addition, there are such problems as the difficulty to secure the cooperators for the project and to vend the reserved floor areas. Therefore, I analyzed the relations between the project plan and the reserved floor areas or the rate of vacancy adapting quantitative analysis. The purpose of this research is to suggest an estimation to the project plan by showing some given results by the analysis on what factors could be effective to make the vacant area the smallest, or what kind of key tenant will be the most appropriate core facility.

Though downtown redevelopment has been carried out in many local cities to activate the city centers, their hollowing out still continue due to their inability to appropriately adapt to social changes. Since 2006, opening of retail stores and public facilities of a scale exceeding the specified level has been controlled in the suburbs by urban planning. Downtown redevelopment has therefore reassumed an important role and faces high expectations. This study expresses the characteristics of local cities and their past redevelopment in indexes based on research to analyze their characteristic structures. It also analyzes the relativity between the characteristic structures of local cities and the retrospective ratings of redevelopment by city officials in charge.
