This paper considers the problems of Senryogatsuji townscape planning in Kyoto on the basis of dynamics of urban context and schema with the theory of contextualism originally proposed by Colin Rowe's Cornell school. Senryogatsuji district is located in the core of Nishijin where is the traditional mixed land use area of residential and industry in Kyoto. In 2001, Kyoto municipal government stipulated the townscape planning for Senryogatsuji district based on the Kyoto city landscape regulations. We conclude that Senryogatsuji townscape planning tends to attach too much importance to traditional Machiya buildings as schema, and this tendency rules out the possibility of dynamics of urban context and schema.

The history of planning and analyses of observations about the preservation process have revealed difficulties in implementing regulations in the historical center of Cap-Haitien. The system of preservation of the city is almost similar to the one adopted in Japan under the title of preservation district for groups of historic buildings. However, while conservation and rehabilitation works in Japan are successful, this is not the case in Cap-Haitien because of failure in taking effective steps for implementing regulations. Past activities have shown that the organization responsible for the preservation in Cap-Haitien is working with little involvement of the large part of the society. Their effort to execute rehabilitation projects is often unsuccessful due to the low level of understanding of the population. Moreover historical and environmental significance is not highly perceived and respected by the society. This study highlights the benefits that community planning method could have for city planning and rehabilitation projects in Cap-Haitien. It also exposes strategies which would help setting up historical preservation process and work toward implementation of the regulations.
