The purpose of this study is to clarify the differences in locational factors of outdoor parking lots focusing on the coverage from railway stations in central areas of Japanese local cities. To achieve this purpose, we constructed the land use data targeting all of core cities at Octover, 2005, understood the distribution and changes in increase of outdoor parking lots, and analysed the factors of transformation from business-use land and residential land to outdoor parking lots. Results show that outdoor parking lots have increased in 32 cities of all 37 Japanese core cities between 1985 to 2005. The differences of locational factors of outdoor parking lots in 2 citiy groups which are divided by focusing on the cover ratio from railway stations are shown in probability of transformation to outdoor parking lots; probability of transformation from business- use and residential land which was outdoor parking lots in 1985 is high in cities where cover ratio from railway station is low, than in cities which indicate high cover ratio.

The implementation of low-carbon city strategy is important in the challenge to mitigate global climate change. Nagoya City has a municipal low-carbon city strategy for 2050, and it has been reflected not only to its action plan but also to urban and transportation plans, and to community development projects in Nishiki 2 District, one of the designated low-carbon model districts in the city. This paper aims to investigate these efforts in both city and community scales and concludes that there are needs to conduct district-scale PDCA, to secure human and financial resources in community development, to support other districts in existing urban area, and to designate appropriate carbon dioxide reduction goals in districts with various conditions.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the market penetration potential electric vehicles for domestic use by regional classification. Based on the questionnaire survey on private-vehicle for car owner, we analyze frequency of long-distance or short-distance drive, the longest-distance drive per day, and annual mileage. Two different type of regional classification are developed by using mesh -based data of GIS. It has been observed that indicators of socioeconomic characteristics such as population density, aging rate, and housing can be used to clarify regional differences in private vehicle use. The main result of case study shows that the areas of high potential of EVs are the mountainous areas and regional cities.

The paper is intended to clarify an outline and characteristics of area-based participatory urban regeneration in Denmark. The paper presents the conclusion that Danish comprehensive and long-term strategies make it possible to raise the level of the living environment of the entire city. The divisions of roles in public participation are clear; consensus-building processes are transparent. Therefore, Danish projects have strengths for (1) strategic spatial improvement and influence of the legal system and (2) transparency of processes and empowerment of citizens. However, Danish projects have a social bias in participation. In addition, some problems persist, such as long-term continuation of public participation. Then Danish projects present some problems related to (3) diversity and creativity of participants and contents of project and (4) continuity and flexibility of projects.

The study concludes that a review of this policy is called for given its effect of producing many empty houses and that joint ownership of conservation plans in historic and culturally famous Chinese villages involving a combination of continued habitation and tourism use and active participation of residents is needed.

Just as motorization has altered the urban form, the growing popularity of the internet is likely to transform the urban form again to a fundamental degree. An "internet-conscious city plan" that includes such a transformation must be considered. This study specifically addressed check-in actions on SNS for records of special experiences, and systematically analyzed the distribution, amount, and quality of spots. Additionally, the study examined results from an existing plan of core areas for a compact city. Results clarified that some cities accumulate check-in actions in core areas, but others do not. Questionnaire survey results show that sufficient consideration must be devoted to the internet in future city planning.

Until now, building temporary housings was a standard scheme. However, in the Great East-Japan Earthquake, the government adopted a different scheme in which the private rental housings were borrowed. In line with this scheme, Iwaki city borrowed 695 units of private rental houses and provided them to the disaster victims. In this work, the actual conditions of housing supply in Iwaki city were analyzed. By comparing this method with the other rental housing methods, it's found that this method could afford the housing supply promptly, but the working time of city-administration becomes enormous. Furthermore, the mismatch occurred between need and stock of housing. Therefore, it's very important to make a firm policy in advance by considering the extant housing stock.

This study examines the way in which the park design of Yasuhei Nagaoka and its aims were incorporated into the construction and maintenance of Iwate Public Park by Iwate Prefecture. Nagaoka designed a park in Morioka at the invitation of the prefecture, and he was then asked to supervise its construction. Nagaoka resided in Morioka until the opening ceremony of the park was held. In this way, his intentions were reflected strongly in the creation of the park, from the design through to its implementation. No large-scale facilities were constructed or improvements undertaken under the management of the park by Iwate Prefecture. The prefecture managed the park in a way that carried on the park design of Nagaoka.

This study clarifies recent application situation and its problem about reverse area division in local cities by hearing and field survey for local authorities. The followings are concluded. In many examples less developments have occurred because of geographical conditions, preservation as farmland, or low demand for development. But in the case that the bylaw for deregulating development control has been implemented, sprawl by housing developments have started. Therefore land use control after reverse area division is relevant. On the other, one of main factors of recent examples is decrease of population frame. Some municipalities revised area division in order to fit population frame condition by calculation pattern changes as well as reverse area division.

Community plans implement the policies of the comprehensive plans on a community basis, and are currently perceived as effective tools for sustainable growth. Kansas City is now updating its Area Plans, which have always been a way to break that area into reasonable parts instead of one large comprehensive plan, FOCUS Kansas City Plan, for land use. Many of them were very outdated (1970's), so one important part of FOCUS implementation has been to update these. In this study, I describe the approaches to update Kansas City's Area Plans, especially focusing on the Greater Downtown Area Plan (GDAP). I sketch the background information and the contents of GDAP, and then examine the implementation committee how to contribute to plan implementation. I also examined other updated Area Plans whether they are appropriately implemented.
