A research of possibility of managing vacant lots by collaboration with neighborhood association of shrinking suburbs in the metropolitan region of Japan

Journal of the City Planning Institute of Japan, 2017

This research aims to examine the possibility of the method to manage vacant lots by collaboration with neighborhood association at shrinking districts in the suburb of metropolitan areas, through a case study of yato areas in Yokosuka City, where proper management of vacant lots is a critical issue for their sustainability. In yato areas, that is residential districts in valleys, many houses are on the slopes, and recently the vacant lots are increasing. There, the landowners no longer regard vacant lots as valuable assets, and residents tend to regard vacant lots as risks to harm their living condition. For residents, although there are some bottlenecks to manage vacant lots, by participation of neighborhood association into the management of vacant lots, those bottlenecks can be resolved.

A Study on Planning Idea of Tsuyoshi Tamura and Keiji Uehara based on Mt. Kongo National Park Plan

Journal of The Japanese Institute of Landscape Architecture, 2016

There was a dispute over the concept of national parks between Tsuyoshi Tamura and Keiji Uehara during the 1920's, and each made his own "Mt. Kongo National Park Plan" later in 1930. In this study, planning Idea of national parks by Tsuyoshi Tamura is discussed after identifying similarities and differences of the two through the analysis process of "Mt. Kongo National Park Plan". As a result, the following points have been clarified. Uehara's concept and resources of national parks change over time. During the 1920's, Uehara considered national parks as a conservation district for natural treasures and excluded landscape to consider as their resource; however, he regarded landscape as a main resource in 1930. On the other hand, Tamura's establishment of a park area was based on conditions such as a visible area of landscape and land ownership (prioritized forests owned by the nation and temples, and avoided private property), and to secure a vast size of the unity area. Lastly, Uehara prioritized history and culture as resources of a national park; whereas Tamura prioritized natural landscape and did not value traditional landscape.
