Recently, in rebuilding apartments of a housing complex, UR sells a part of the site to private developers. Then there is a risk that the landscape is spoiled. So it is necessary to make a rule to guide the development of the private developers. The aim of this study is to 1) identify the meaning of landscape guideline, 2) clarify the problem of landscape guideline, and 3) examine ways to form desirable landscape in rebuilding apartments of a housing complex. From this study, it has become clear that landscape guideline has the meaning to form the desirable landscape. However, there are some problems in it, too. It is considered to be necessary for landscape guideline to be more concrete. And UR needs to discuss with private developers about the landscape guideline.

The Landscape Act of 2005 has enabled local authorities to control townscapes with previously non-existant vigor. In actuality, however, it's unclear how Japanese townscape control systems have advanced in response to the new Act. So this study aims to clarify this progress by comparing old independent ordinances and landscape plans. As a result of this analysis, it has become clear that the contents of old independent ordinances have been reconstructed and the standards of townscape controls have advanced in many municipalities, but nearly all local authorities aren't using the Act's new systems. One reason for the low use of the Act appears to be that local authorities thought consensus building with residents was difficult when they used the new systems, so a system of consensus building should be facilitated for easier implementation by the prefectures.

This study aims to understand how the green space in urban area is distributed and how much carbon dioxide it would fix. In Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report of Japan, the green space in urban area is not regarded as CO2 sink because of the difficulty to count the accurate amount. Since some high performance satellites have started their operations, various reports have developed efficient methods to estimate environmental information using remote sensing data. This study used these existing models to estimate the amount of green and CO2 sink in urban area. The result of this study showed that considerable amount of CO2 is sank by the green space in urban area, especially in residential area and industrial sites, which is not regarded as CO2 sink.

There are conflicts between developer/landowner and citizen about losing woods by housing development plan. These conflicts are caused by the externality of green-spaces like woods in DID. The main problem is the value of green-spaces is apt to be neglected in the market economy. Therefore it is important to internalize the externality of green-spaces value. To solve this problem, this paper firstly surveys the ongoing legal methods of internalization of externality of green-space, and searches the issues of implementation of these methods, and secondly proposes the improving ways, such as publication of green space value, postponement of public expense, and cutting down the cost of landowner. In this proposed ways we expect rational action of landowners, developers and citizens to conserve green spaces.

In the process of a participatory landscape planning, sharing a spatial image is one of the most important concerns. The original method of Landscape Image Sketching Technique was examined theoretically first and then tested empirically in field studies. The humanistic and flexible idea of the landscape image was defined as a way of seeing the world, which connects the physical and symbolic aspects of landscape as well as personal environmental orientation and social construction. The method with scene sketches was devised improving previous mapping methods and carried out in two kinds of forest regions in Germany and Japan. As a result, the symbolic landscape images for representative regional postcards appeared not one and only but diverse in each region in terms of the influences from personal experiences, regional knowledge and cultural sense of beauty. The research finding suggests that the landscape image can be analyzed by using visual data represented in scene sketches.

There are many illegal parking cars in central business districts because of the capacity constraints or loose regulations. However, the amendment of Road Trucking Vehicle Law in 2006 beefed up the illegal parking. On the other hand, the construction of parking facilities or installing parking spaces have not matched the regulation. The appropriate methodologies for evaluating the allocation of parking space should be required. In this paper, we developed the method to apply "Facility Allocation Model (FAM)" to the parking lot problem. The parking activity survey conducted at Machida city was examined. We estimated appropriate parking allocation, then the queuing theory was applied to determine the number of parking lots. The results shown the applicability of our methods.

In urban areas, rat-run always happens to avoid traffic congestion, and this causes bad deterioration of living environment for inhabitants living by the roadside. For this, there are sweeping measures, for example, road network improvement, while way of changing drivers consciousness is also considered for the road improvement. Considering drivers consciousness, this study examined on what kinds of road spaces, rat-run was hard to happen. It became clear that the rat-run consciousness was related with the road space characteristics. What is more, the elements of the road space also have influences on the drivers recognition from the questionnaires in Okayama. This result suggested that road space improvement could be able to control the rat-run consciousness of drivers, and it was also showed there was possibility to restrain the rat-run phenomenon by the road improvement.

We investigated the possible impact of railroad development on population density and car use in Japan. A cross-sectional analysis confirmed the relatively high density and low car use near the railroad station. In a time-series analysis, it is shown that meshes with railroad station development experienced higher density growth and restrained growth of car use. Further, station development in the large metropolitan areas with significant railroad supply and demand possibly realized population accumulation and car use control effectively. It is proposed that public transportation development lies between the interrelationship between population density and car use, producing inverse relationship, in metropolitan areas with high density and convenient transportation services.

While the motorcycle is one of the most importance travel modes in urban areas, parking location choice behaviors of motorcycle users have been less studied partly because of less parking demand for motorcycles than for cars and bicycles. In this study, we shed light on the parking location choice behavior around railway station for motorcycle and car users by conducting questionnaire surveys. We found that motorcycle users were younger, parked their motorcycles longer and walked more to destination than car users. Also, motorcycle users were more sensitive to parking capacity and the roof over the parking lot. According to the paring location choice models for motorcycle and car users, we found that parking fare, waling time to destination and parking access time were common variables for both motorcycle and car users, and that the car user model might be transferable to the motorcycle user model.

Physical control of pedestrian traffic tends to have priority over quality of that in planning of pedestrian space like a sidewalk. But, pedestrian space, where various pedestrian's purposes and characteristics are intermingled, make so complicated that they cannot be providing a supposed service. This research focused on relation between pedestrian's behavior and using conditions of a sidewalk as an example of pedestrian space, and analyzed influence by pedestrians in groups and ones using portable equipments on service of pedestrian space. Thus, it is clarified that pedestrian characteristics and an oncoming traffic related to the walking speed or the occurrence of conflict comparatively by multivariate analysis. Finally, this research considered influence of these pedestrians by showing quantitatively the change in the level of service from stand point of those indexes.=

We analyzed the factors of automobile CO2 emission change calculated with the master data of the origin-destination travel survey by municipalities between 1999 and 2005. CO2 emissions per capita decreased in the municipalities which population was over 50,000 persons, especially in the special wards of Tokyo, on the other hand, the emissions increased in the municipalities which population was less than 50,000 persons. The factors of the decrease were a decrease of travel distance per trip, an increase in fuel efficiency of automobiles, and especially in the major municipalities, a decrease of use and possession of automobiles. The factors of the increase were an increase of the short-distance trips for daily use in the smaller-scale municipalities.

Parking Deposit System (PDS) is proposed to improve public acceptance of Road Pricing (RP) which can reduce effectively traffic congestion and air pollution. This study examines the characteristics of PDS and conventional RP (cordon-based and area-based pricing) in terms of efficiency and equity. In order to evaluate income regressive effects as equity, we construct a multi-class network equilibrium model of the user's mode and route choice behaviors for the several income classes. As a result of application to the Nagoya Metropolitan Area, PDS has the following characteristics as compared with conventional RP. 1) PDS has sufficient environmental improvement effect, although the car reduction effect becomes small by refund. 2) In area-based pricing, the efficiency of PDS is higher than the conventional system. 3) PDS is more equitable system because it is a kind of revenue allocation policy.

While road pricing(RP)is considered one of the most effective means of traffic demand management(TDM), its poor acceptability has been the greatest impediment to its implementation. The authors propose a "parking deposit system"(PDS) as a flexible road pricing scheme. In a previous study, the authors proved the acceptability of PDS were influenced by fairness, infringement on mobility, recognition of effectiveness, which was investigated by constructing decision making model of PDS approval. The main purpose of this study is not only to extend the knowledge of the effectiveness of policy information on PDS when decision making, but also to measure the influence of social interaction in public debate process. This paper discusses the fundamental factors of acceptability toward PDS by using the data from the focus group interviews.

As the result, the program had significant effects on psychological measures such as moral obligation, attitude toward public transport, and behavioral intention for children and parents. On the other hand, attitude toward vehicle on parents had activated significantly in opposite direction toward an intention of the program. The reason was not clear but there may be a possibility of influence that we added emphasis to comfort and convenience of vehicle use in the program to avoid one-side argument. And the result indicated that there were significant effects on parent's behavioral modification to constrain vehicle use and promote public transport use.

This study aims to measure the impacts which the ethnic community brought to Japanese host-society. Through the case study of Oizumi-Machi, Gunma Pref., where foreign residents ratio is more than 16%, we have carried out the spatial and social survey to grasp those impacts. The results are as follows. The first 10year from 1990 would be considered as the period in which the host society showed its hospitality and the ethnic community was organized in many fields. Those two societies found its place separately, so the spatial segregation has emerged. In the latest years in this period, as the ethnic community grew, the conflicts between the host society and foreigners group began to be observed. Next and recent 10year period, though the spatial segregation is more deepened, socially, the partnership between two social groups is sought by both communities.

This study is intended for "The system to offer the district plan" established in 2002. This system is one of The City Planning that the residents can take the initiative in deciding a plan. The cities establish the ordinance of a method that offer the district plan to cities, then resident can use this system. However the ordinance is not advanced to establish. This reason is the city planning proposal system that established in 2003 on city planning law, resident does not need the system of offer the district plan. Even if it is so, this ordinance works to promote the "Machidukuri" by resident. Some cities establish the ordinance that make a system of establishment of "Machidukuri" conference by resident and make a community plan, and cities decide the district plan to a legal binding force in city planning.

Land readjustment projects have various risks derived from many landowners and long project term. Therefore it is very important for completing land readjustment projects to identify and evaluate the risks from the view of project management. This paper firstly discusses the identification by use of AHP based on a questionnaire to land readjustment planners and engineers who have more than 2 years experiments. Thirty seven risks were identified among 4 project stages and the risks were compared with the eight categories of an existing research for DID area. The comparisons show good agreements. And the weights of the risks to financial crisis obtained by AHP were found not to have differences from the knowledge of land readjustment experts. These results suggest that the identified risks and their weight are useful for risk or project management of land readjustment project.

It has been argued that considering neighborhood characteristics is important for urban planning for crime prevention. This study aims to identify the relationship between residents' fear of crime and environmental characteristics at the district level. Questionnaire survey data of 2000 samples conducted in Ichikawa city, Chiba prefecture were combined with existing GIS data and were analyzed at the district level. The analysis indicated that, while the degree of residents' fear of crime, the number of places that evoked fear of crime, and the degree of the concentration of fearful places did not vary among districts, the types of land use that heightened fear of crime and the reason of fear of crime were quite different between districts. Thus, it is argued that, in the future, countermeasures to reduce fear of crime should take environmental characteristics into account.
