    United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 indicates the need for and importance of inclusive public spaces as a prerequisite towards sustainable cities. Shopping malls in urban India attract a significantly large population daily, making them an important typology of urban structures which deserve universal design. Thus, in this paper, universal design features of shopping malls in Kolkata have been considered. Despite a significant increase in the number of elderly and specially-abled people, civic administration in Kolkata has not been able to successfully implement the national guidelines on inclusiveness in its shopping malls. Five shopping malls from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation were considered case areas for the fieldwork. The accessibility audit checklist included in the ‘Harmonized Guidelines and Standards for Universal Accessibility in India 2021’ published by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India, has been used in this paper. It was found that the accessibility percentage of shopping malls ranges between 14.4% and 44.8%, indicating the lack of universal design considerations. Pearson’s correlation between the year of establishment and the accessibility percentage of each case area was found to be −0.66, indicating an alarming deterioration in universal design considerations over the years. On comparing the accessibility performance with the diverse user groups, it was found that individual wheelchair users are likely to face the most difficulty in the case areas with a median accessibility value of 41.46%. This research indicated that accessible continuity in shopping malls in Kolkata can be imparted only by implementing case-specific universal design assessment through a primary survey.

    In the town of Sacapulas, located in the mountainous country of Guatemala, there is a constant risk of natural disasters. Floods and landslides occur frequently, resulting in the loss of human lives and cultural aspects. Important to the region, the creation of the black salt is most affected. This resource has been created since the time of the Mayans on the salt beach surrounding the town. However, from the 1940s onwards, this industry has shrunk. As a result, architectural expressions known as “salt kitchens” have almost disappeared, and there is no information on the subject available. By employing interviews, area survey, and GPS mapping, it was discovered that the location of the salt kitchens is determined by the shape of the beach. However, only one third of the beach area is accessible up to this day. It was discovered that the destruction of the salt kitchens is due to natural elements as well as owners reusing the land for other economically viable functions. To preserve their existence, the first plans of the salt kitchens were created, and will help future researchers if necessary.

    Community Relocation, Disasters and Climate Change in Asia-Pacific Region 1 - 19 2024/02/20 
    Many of the relocations that took place after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 were government-led. On the contrary, in the Koizumi district, where the author was involved as an architect and planner, the relocation strategy including (a) consensus building, (b) spatial planning and (c) design, was considered and implemented under the initiative of the residents rather than the government. The efforts of the Koizumi district have attracted attention in Japan as well as from overseas in the immediate aftermath of 2011. Community relocation following disasters and climate change leads people to extremely difficult circumstances making them direct victims of natural disasters. The author has conducted research and practice from the perspective of the victims, always reminiscing his own experience of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake of 1995. The attitude of sharing experiences and feelings with the victims became a conceptual link with the Koizumi district and is also related to the author's current practice and research. The coastal area of the Tohoku region affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake was already facing a severe population decline even before the disaster in 2011. However, following the relocation of the community in the Koizumi district, the number of people migrating from outside the area has increased substantially. Furthermore, the new migrants appreciate the unique upland environment and local community of the Koizumi district. The author looks forward to the metabolism of migrants and the sustainability of the community led by the next generation.

    Community Relocation, Disasters and Climate Change in Asia-Pacific Region 38 - 56 2024/02/20 
    This chapter chronologically examines how residents used Ibasho House in Ofunato City (Iwate Prefecture, Japan) to understand the significance and issues of community cafes that were systematically constructed in disaster-affected areas as a measure of earthquake disaster reconstruction support. First, a few studies on relocation housing for disaster victims are reviewed in this research. Then, an explanation is provided of how Ibasho House was built, from its planning stage based on environmental transition theory and the involvement of victims and local communities, to its construction stage using the traditional Kesen Daiku (In English, Kesen: name of a region in Iwata prefecture, Daiku: Carpentry) technique and also a customised design for complete community involvement and deinstitutionalisation. The results of six follow-up surveys conducted over two years (2013-2015) on how Ibasho House was used after its opening are then provided to understand the process of use and area formation (space usage) by its users. Information regarding the (a) arrangement and installation of furniture, (b) voluntary repairs by residents, and (c) reasons for changes in furniture layout and installation, was obtained through these surveys and interviews with residents and management staff. It was revealed during this study that the original emphasis on deinstitutionalisation was removed gradually, and Ibasho House transformed into a more facility-like structure with clear zoning between users and management staff. The aforementioned finding further highlights the unavoidable importance of considering the feasibility of the proposed approach and goals for disaster victims while providing disaster reconstruction support, especially considering the unique environmental transition following a large-scale disaster.

    Community Relocation, Disasters and Climate Change in Asia-Pacific Region 173 - 192 2024/02/20 
    The threat of climate change-induced disasters, such as (a) rising sea levels, (b) flooding, and (c) land subsidence, necessitates the exploration of community relocation strategies. This chapter examines the challenges of community relocation, focusing on case studies from Japan, the Philippines, and Australia. The primary objective of the study is to identify the essential components of successful community resettlement plans. Venice, Italy, experiences yearly flooding due to land subsidence and rising sea levels, thereby raising concerns about the future habitability of low-lying areas. The chapter discusses the concept of community relocation, in which entire communities are moved while maintaining their cohesiveness, as opposed to individual voluntary relocation. The 2011 Lockyer Valley flood in Queensland, Australia, led to the implementation of a voluntary land-swap program, where disaster victims could obtain new land to relocate. The program respected the victims' rights, and the planning process involved community participation through workshops. Despite its merits, the land-swap program did not always effectively relocate and sustain communities. On similar lines, the situations in Tacloban, Philippines, and Grantham, Australia, highlight the challenges of community relocation planning. Factors such as short planning timelines and the treatment of residents as disaster victims can further complicate the process. This study raises critical questions about (a) the nature of communities in relocation planning, (b) whether a relocated community remains the same as before, and (c) whether a community can truly be moved/ relocated within an institutional framework. In conclusion, this chapter emphasizes the importance of grappling with the complex question of whether community relocation can be planned, and if so, how to develop strategies that ensure successful resettlement while respecting the rights as well as needs of affected individuals.

    Community Relocation, Disasters and Climate Change in Asia-Pacific Region 111 - 129 2024/02/20 
    Hydropower-plant projects in Vietnam have played a significant role in driving socio-economic growth and developing essential infrastructure. However, along with their positive contributions, these projects have also brought significant social consequences, particularly for those who have been involuntarily displaced and resettled, including ethnic minorities. To shed light on this issue, this chapter discusses the spatial conditions at A Do village, one of the new resettlement areas where the Cotu ethnic minority residents have been relocated. These communities found themselves uprooted from their ancestral land due to the construction of the A Vuong hydropower plant. The construction of the plant greatly forced significant changes in their lives, and significant alterations in the village layout, housing type, living arrangements, and building materials between the old and new villages have profoundly impacted the locals' way of life. Residents have made necessary adjustments by constructing extensions to their homes and making changes in the utilization of living spaces. The residents' lifestyles and traditions were greatly impacted by the design of their new houses and environment, leading them to compromise to maintain their cultural values and lifestyle. Although the government aimed to provide better infrastructure and amenities, these changes impacted the preservation of Cotu cultural traditions. It is essential to strike a balance between the new development and cultural traditions right from the outset and to incorporate the knowledge and strengths of the residents along with the potential benefits and limitations of the new area. Close and effective communication with the affected communities and actively involving the residents in the planning process for the new living environment are highly important to ensure that their cultural practices and preferences are considered. The focus should be on providing support that builds a foundation for improvement in the future. To protect social capital and prevent the loss of traditions, all parties involved in community relocation projects must carefully consider the local society and culture during the planning and development of the new resettlement areas. The roles of stakeholders are crucial in facilitating the indigenous communities' transition into modernization while preserving their cultural heritage, and an integrated approach is required. This approach should support local resources, economy, traditional work, and income generation from the local culture, skills, and knowledge. Further, it should encourage pride, motivate cultural sharing among communities, and ensure that cultural identity remains intact.

    This study aims to analyze the process of residents’ resettlement and the perceptions of the town hall by action research on public housing relocation project in Kamishihoro, Hokkaido. Through interview surveys with the residents and the project staff, the following were found; 1) The staff tends to prioritize resident’s preference over the project road map. 2) Residents who feel pressured to move or who have been assigned where to move may not have enough time to fully consider their resettlement. 3) Residents who leave the process to their families may end up moving without their preferences being reflected.

    This study aims to clarify the characteristics of public facility management in small municipality, focusing on the reasonable accommodation implemented in public facilities in Numata, Hokkaido. Through interviews and discussions with stakeholders, it became clear that reasonable accommodation in the management of public facilities is a process of searching for a compromise. Especially in small municipality, a variety of practices are being implemented, making use of relationships and cooperation between public facilities.

    In the town of Sacapulas located in the mountainous country of Guatemala, there is a constant risk of natural disasters. Floods and landslides occur frequently, resulting in the loss of human lives and cultural aspects. Specifically, in the region, the creation of black salt is the most affected. This resource has been created since the time of the Mayans on the salt beach surrounding the town. However, from the 1940s onwards, this industry has shrunk, impacting the sustainability of indigenous people. After conducting several area and space analyses, it was found that the black salt beach has evolved considerably since the last research conducted in 2001. The shape of the space has been reduced, while the use of the area has been modified by the people of the town, who specifically use the hot springs located below the river shore of the beach. This new usage can coexist with the Salt making industry is only made by a few people now, there are few working in this industry, and they only work in the dry season. The result is an opportunity for economic growth and an increase in tourism if the area handled properly by managing the land and planning ahead.

    In this research, the condition of universal mobility, in the centers of historic Indian cities, has been critically analyzed. Implementing universal design guidelines (especially universal mobility standards) in the centers of historic Indian cities is comparatively challenging, due to the high-density, ever-increasing population, and organic urban development. The rising number of elderly and specially abled people also add a demographic challenge to universal mobility. The focus of this research is to understand the extent to which universal mobility guidelines can be implemented in the centers of historic Indian cities. The dataset for this research is derived from a field survey of 69 footpath stretches from the centers of 5 historic cities in India, namely Jaipur, Jodhpur, Nagpur, Hyderabad, and Chennai. Footpath stretches in the centers of these historic cities were evaluated based on several factors pertaining to universally designed infrastructure and universal mobility features. Such comprehensive research on universal mobility in footpaths of historic Indian cities has not been previously conducted. The findings of this research indicate the poor condition of universal mobility in the studied areas. Furthermore, the results can be useful for assessing the extent of implementation of universal mobility in the centers of other historic Indian cities.

    Composed of modern city centers and numerous slum patches in deep proximity and coexistence with one another, the Sub-Saharan African urban landscape is often perceived as chaotic or unorganized in nature due to the inconsistencies in the urban layout derived from the spontaneous occupation in said slums, in Angola, known as “Musseque”. This article focuses on the border between the “Musseque” of Catambor and the Alvalade Neighborhood as a point of interaction of both realities, influencing users to either adjust their activities to the streets or adjust the streets to their needs. With the purpose of understanding the streets’ environmental behavior settings and purpose improvements while preserving said environmental behavior, this study uses the behavior mapping method to identify the users’ stationary activities and then groups them by zone and occurrence, followed ultimately by a series of interviews. The results uncovered a degree of self-intervention by the users, ranging from the establishment of “commercial spots” on the street to “the setting of places to sit and gather” to accommodate for the lack of services, defying the intended purposes of the streets and prompting a deep understanding of what guides the decision-making processes and what the users consider valuable to the built space.

    In this research, expert opinions on universal mobility in the footpaths of urban India have been critically appraised. Universal mobility (as a component of universal design) is still a largely ignored urban parameter in India despite an increase of 732.20% in the specially-abled and 105.25% in the elderly between 1911 and 2011. A total of 257 experts from the field of architecture and planning hailing from 66 cities in India were interviewed for this research. It was found that despite nationally implemented universal design guidelines, footpaths in 42.8% of the cities do not have universal mobility. In total, 74.7% of the respondents identify the dimension of the footpath as the most important factor for implementing universal mobility. The results of this study indicate the importance of universal design in improving the quality of life in Indian cities, and how urban local bodies can play a significant role in the process by using Public Private Partnership (hereafter, PPP) models and a new accessibility audit checklist.

    In this research, the role of cognition in Universal Mobility at the pedestrian-level has been investigated. A stretch of approximately 850 m in the core of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (in India) has been delineated as the case area for this research. The 02 data sets considered for this research are: 1) Physical data: Pedestrian Count and Vehicular Traffic Volume, and 2) Cognitive data: Light Intensity, Noise, and Thermal Comfort. The authors collected the data from the case area in the years 2020 and 2021. This paper initially involves determining the pedestrian “Level of Service” (LOS) based on the pedestrian count. Furthermore, the authors co-relate (Pearson’s Correlation with a 95% confidence interval) the LOS data with the light intensity, sound intensity, and temperature data; to establish a relationship between them. The result of this research indicates that there is a gap in realizing the potential of walkability in the case area. The authors conclude that the improvement of cognition in pedestrian-level Universal Mobility can lead to a better physical environment for the specially-abled and elderly.

    The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 was the first time that a single disaster relocated hundreds of districts, and it was completely unprecedented. Professor Suguru Mori is an expert in the field of helping communities rebuild after natural disasters who is interested in taking lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake in the establishment of community relocation that places emphasis on human rights and ethics. As a bachelor student, Mori experienced the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake in 1995, gaining the dual perspective of victim and researcher. This highlighted a disconnect. Mori is based in the Division of Architecture, Hokkaido University, Japan, where he is exploring planned community relocation in the context of large-scale disasters and climate change in the Asia-Pacific region, with a particular focus on Koizumi district in Kesennuma city and looking at both past and future risks. In addition to being a researcher, Mori is an architect and planner and a key approach is Action Research, which integrates research and practice to catalyse transformative change. He also uses approaches from the unique academic field of architectural planning research (APR), which was developed in academic circles of the Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) and scientifically examines architecture and its design methods.

    This paper aims to review a large-scale collective relocation planning of the Koizumi-Machi district, which implemented the Radburn design housing to mitigate the environmental transition against the Great East Japan earthquake. Based on actual conditions through two-year investigations after resettlement, it demonstrates that residents utilized the relocation site adapting to different issues of the community relocation: successions of the previous district's neighborhood relationships and constructions of new ones due to integrated multiple districts. On the other hand, there is a mismatch between total housing land design and individual housing reconstructions in point of the correspondence between entrance direction and cul-de-sac.

    This paper explores the long-term recovery process from planning to resettlement in the case of community relocation in the Koizumi district, which implemented relocation programme with a strong initiative of local residents against the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Through interview investigations and using pathway framework which explained the community recovery process as pathway, this study shows that the gradual shift in institutionalisation of local residents progressing the project from for the community to for the project implicitly and inevitably has affected the community's capacity despite the adoption and presence of a community-centred approach in the steps of the recovery efforts. The application of the community-centred approach may frame the relocation planning in consideration of the local community, but there is also a concern that it will inevitably gain authority within the community in the form of public policy. In other words, institutionalisation may not only occur when town planning efforts marginalise the community, but even when community-centring is intended and demonstrated in the planning process. We argue that community-centredness requires better understanding of its limitation so that more practical discussions about its potential can develop.

    In this research, users' perception towards Universal Mobility in old core cities of India has been critically analyzed. Despite Universal Design guidelines from the United Nations and Union Government of India, old cities in India seldom have Universal Mobility, in effect endangering the lifestyle of senior citizens and differently-abled people. The core of Kolkata Municipal Corporation in Kolkata, India, has been considered a case example for this research. This research has considered three types of datasets for analysis. First, the authors interviewed 310 respondents from the Indian design fraternity, with the objective of understanding their opinions on the concept of Universal Design. In the next investigative study of 125 respondents from different wards of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, the purpose was to comprehend people's perception regarding walkability and mobility in an old Indian city. In the last visual survey of a stretch in Central Kolkata, the focus was on identifying hindrances in Universal Mobility in an old city core of Indian origin. Significant dissatisfaction was found regarding walkability amongst all user groups, which is linked to poor infrastructural conditions. Furthermore, accessing public transportation is difficult due to improper waiting facilities. However, the design fraternity in India suggests the need of separate accessibility guidelines for old and new cities in India. The design fraternity also recommends a customized rating system for accessing Universal Design. The result of this study indicates a need of recognizing the difficulty in imparting Universal Mobility in old core cities in India. This information can be used for preparing an access audit checklist through Architectural Planning, which is the first step in proposing a framework for Universal Mobility in old core cities in India.

    The improvement of street space, in both physical and non-physical aspects, has brought a new-look to the city but also raised some controversy. Undeveloped streets, despite their lower quality and fewer amenities, still prove to have a certain attraction to urban residents. This study explores users’ perceived usage of street space based on physical and non-physical attributes that help fill the knowledge gap in street design and development. The results show that higher-income individuals tend to gather and participate in activities on modern streets, while lower-income individuals have a tendency to use undeveloped streets. This result supports the hypothesis that differences in demography can lead to differences in environmental perceptions. These findings also provide empirical evidence of the irrationality of street improvement in Vietnam, which primarily focuses on physical factors but omits non-physical elements. The study also gives suggestions for street improvements and development in Vietnam, in particular, which can be applied in countries with similar socio-economic and cultural contexts.

    Mixed habitation environments have gradually proved to be an effective planning method to promote social integration in many countries. However, due to the differences in the social backgrounds of each country, it is essential to implement construction methods suitable for local conditions. On the other hand, the planning theories and construction methods discussed from multiple perspectives, including an architectural perspective of spatial forms, have been insufficient, which is not conducive to constructing a sustainable dwelling environment. This article aims to clarify the planning status of spatial forms and their issues by investigating existing projects with mixed habitation environments in China. Unlike other countries that have implemented relevant policies for many years, China has just begun to explore relevant schemes (i.e., public-rental housing in private-owned housing complexes) aiming to promote mixed habitation environments. The selected research objects included all projects already inhabited at the end of June 2017 in the city of Beijing. Through field survey, the research objects were divided into eight types via an analysis of building layouts and residents' traffic lines. The results show that out of the many research objects, two kinds of housing were clearly distinctive, and only a few research objects matched the basic conditions to be defined as a mixed habitation. The conditions are not conducive to the formation of mixed habitation; therefore, a more detailed discussion on how to design a mixed habitation environment is necessary to aid further research.

    Residents have territorial cognition with different hierarchies and conduct corresponding behaviors in the outdoor space of housing blocks through sharing space and facilities. This mechanism stems from human need and might be influenced by physical environmental elements. To understand this effect, especially after a guideline for transforming existing gated housing blocks was enacted in China, this study compared the territoriality of open and gated housing blocks from the view of the cognition, behavior, and space through combined methods. Interview, snapshot, and observation were conducted to capture the situation of these three dimensions, then they were evaluated and grouped by factor analysis and quartiles. Obtained results in the open housing block were found to be inferior to that in the gated case. The conclusion was drawn based on the above that there are remarkable differences between open and gated housing blocks on the intensity of residents' territorial cognition, the level and quantity of their territorial behaviors, and the distribution as well as continuity of the territorial space.

    The shortage of open spaces in developing countries in Asia such as Vietnam has been a thorny question for urbanists. Due to a poor history of public spaces, people tend to use street spaces as open spaces and other functions that bring chaos and danger onto the streets. Although developed countries in the West have overcome the dangers of life on street spaces to some extent, Vietnam, with its low quality of life, retains its inherent street bustle. Street improvements have been carried out to enhance the quality of urban life. This research aims at comparing improved and unimproved street spaces in various aspects, including user behavior and the environment-behavior relationship within street spaces and their surroundings. The findings contribute to the future improvement of street spaces in Vietnam and other developing countries based on theories of Environment-Behavior Studies. Through this research, the street renovation and development idea can be processed in a distinctive manner that appreciates the cultural and social context instead of being derived from the arbitrary or intuitive ideas of designers. By using various observation methods such as centered behavioral mapping (PcBM) and visual encounter surveys (VES), and statistical analysis such as principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA), the findings show that a total of eight physical attributes need consideration during street renovations or development processes. Improved and unimproved street spaces share two attributes and differ in six attributes. Additionally, three environment-behavior patterns support the implications detailed in this paper. Finally, a suggestion for street space development and management is made to support related authorities and urbanists in future projects; it is hope that this research will contribute to creating more livable and sustainable street environments.

    In many disaster settings, top-down responses emphasise ‘expert-led’ solutions that often involve relocating disaster-affected communities. While the intention might be to move people from harm's way and facilitate recovery, failure to attend to local pre-disaster circumstances as well as the interplay between power, resilience and vulnerability within and around affected communities often sees resettlement reconfigure as displacement or disconnection. This oversight may even usher in a new phase of dispossession and disadvantage for marginalised groups (particularly in colonial settings). This paper explores experiences in Australia, Japan and Taiwan to reflect on what issues of local sociality, local culture and local resilience need to be attended to in framing ‘better’ disaster responses.

    One of the most insoluble problems confronted by urban areas in developing countries is the shortage of open space; street space allows daily human activities, promotes social interaction, and is seen as a precondition for the sustainable development of the community. Although some seemingly public space is also built up in Vietnam, street space is often where resident's go to perform activities. This research aims at studying behaviors of users in old street space and the interaction with existing physical settings; as an input to future renovation and the development of street space in a manner that respects the cultural and social context of the Vietnamese people. User's behaviors in streets and physical characteristics of space were collected and processed in accordance with theories of behavior setting and proxemics using some methods including place-centered behavioral mapping (PcBM) and visual encounter surveys (VES). The analysis showed that three types of behavior, including (1) Type A where various frequent activities occurred, (2) Type B which discouraged most human activities, and (3) Type C where neither frequent nor infrequent behaviors can represent environmental behavior patterns in the old street spaces of Vietnam and for each of these types of patterns improvements have been proposed by organizing street and pavements layouts detailed in this paper. The proposed improvements are based on the relationship between human behaviors and properties of the street space to assist designers, administers, and authorities in renovating and developing better and more sustainable street space.

    This study elucidates the spatial structure of traditional houses, and its transformation toward sustainable development of residential environments in old towns that are currently the focus of tourism development initiatives. Hexia old town in Huai'an District, China, was chosen for this study involving a field survey, questionnaire survey, and interviews. Data analysis identified three periods of residential transformation and three patterns of the residential transformation process. In all cases, there was low awareness of building conservation measures and lack of tourism development by the government, which has translated into ongoing residential transformations according to the demands of daily life. However, in the interests of tourism development, some businesses have started making use of vacant residences and traditional homes, and the relative proximity to work and home imply sustainability of residents' lifestyles under these conditions. An improvement plan for an old town requires a thorough understanding of the circumstances surrounding residential modifications executed by residents, the problems faced in the living environment, as well as efforts to increase the residents' awareness of the issue of sustainable living in that old town.

    Streets function as public spaces that improve the aspects of social sustainability by accommodating the daily activities of people, further contributing to the strengthening of relationships in society and the expansion of people's social networks. This research focuses on studying the relationship of human behavior and the street environment in Cebu, Philippines, which can help to contribute to a better approach towards street improvements. Filipino behavior settings were identified and classified based upon people's activities on the street that were gathered using the Behavior Mapping Method. From the analysis of behavior settings on the behavior maps, the current use of the street has been classified into zones, and has shown potential for street sharing by being flexible enough to accommodate both behavior settings and vehicular traffic at different times. Based on the findings of the analysis, design proposals were created as an interview tool to extract information from respondents on the street. From the results of the interviews, considerations such as the importance of preserving the existing behavior settings, promoting safety, and preventing conflicts on the street can be used to develop an improved street design.

    Physical characteristics of residential areas affect many aspects of living sustainability, including the environmental behavior of residents. Based on the policy issued in China in 2016, the guideline of transforming existing gated housing blocks into open mode is being gradually implemented in some cities. However, the transforming of boundary walls and internal roads has changed the living environment such as the open space that residents have been accustomed to and has affected environmental behaviors correspondingly. From perspectives of spatial types and environmental behaviors, this research compared an open housing block (which is reconstructed from gated one) with a comparable original gated housing block. The Behavior Mapping Method was used to capture environmental behaviors in two housing blocks; factor analysis and cluster analysis were used to extract spatial characteristics and classify spatial types; and finally differences between the open housing block and the gated housing block were shown by comparing the distribution of environmental behaviors in each space type. The results indicate that the presence or absence of the enclosing walls affects the division of space types and environmental behaviors in housing blocks. For gated housing blocks, spaces with strong privacy attract various types of activities, which are overwhelming in categories and the number of people, while in the open housing blocks, this situation is not as obvious as in the former.

    In urban environments, front yards and backyards are valued by residents for the opportunities they provide for enriching residential activities and promoting neighbourly ties. This article extends previous inquiries to identify the preferred uses and attributes of side setback areas in a comparatively dense urban environment. While front yards or backyards may contribute to sociability, no such effects have been reported for the side setback areas, with their function being instrumental rather than social. On the basis of a 2013 survey, the average side setback area in Sapporo (Japan) is <2m wide and its typical use is for storage. A series of cross-statistical analyses was used to investigate possible correlations and to predict the role of the physical attributes of adjacent facades on the perceptions of the respondents. This was followed by an in-depth interview of those who volunteered. The results indicated that side setback areas that were lesser than 1-m wide were perceived as abandoned and assumed to have no function. However, those wider than 1m were seen as secondary storage areas. Regardless of this, respondents valued the light and ventilation provided by side setback areas.

    This paper presents a study of utilization and perceptions towards side setback areas as an important but often overlooked urban space. Side setback areas, which are mutual distances between adjoining buildings in a high density, inner-urban, residential area of Osaka, Japan were selected for study. Volunteers were interviewed in the Kita Nakamichi area to investigate the physical attributes of their side setback areas and their frequency of usage. There was little impression of side setback areas or windows opening towards them. They are seen only as mere left out spaces between the building and boundaries; however, the respondents did not have concerns about security.On the subject of utilization of the side setback areas, activities such as storage and gardening were noted, as these places were seen as abandoned spaces but subject to considerable maintenance, and were suggested by a significant number of the respondents as good places for parking places, storing items and drying clothes due to receiving good light and ventilation. When asked about their preference for making contact with fellow neighbours via their side facades, respondents unanimously reported that they prefer to undertake social interaction at their front door and those accidental contacts are not favoured.

    The contribution of front or back yards to sociability has been the subject of several studies. No such finding however is evident for side setback areas, short distances kept between adjacent buildings, which in the case of comparatively dense Japanese urban neighborhood environments can be as short as a few decimeters. The present study locates side setback areas and building facades that look towards them in Japanese planning terminology, and examines them from the residents’ point of view. The data for this preliminary step of the research was collected based on a carefully designed and explained 2014 survey of 190 academics scholars throughout Japan. The results suggest that no demographic characteristic or housing type, number of floors or period of time living in the area were shown to be significant in residents’ perceptions towards the side setback areas. Those who had no side setback area were more concerned with their privacy, smoke, sound or darkness whereas those with side setback areas were more satisfied. As for preferences, having a Green Wall, Terrace/Balcony and Living/Dining were the preferred choice of those with side setback areas. All respondents tended to perceive the spaces as valued for the light and ventilation they provide. Several activities such as storage, parking and drying clothes were common among the respondents’ perceptions of activities suitable for these spaces.

    &nbsp;This study aims at clarifying the characteristics and change process about such space usage as houses and agricultural facilities have been exploited to conduct the activities excluding production in accordance with the agricultural diversification which manages restaurants and private guesthouses, etc. in addition to the agricultural production.<br>&nbsp;As to the survey targets, 31 farming households in Tokachi Subprefecture, Hokkaido prefecture have cooperated with our surveys. The survey period is from February to December in 2015 and we have conducted interviews and field surveys of those farming households during that period.<br>&nbsp;We will adjust the characteristics and change process in making farming houses and facilities freely available as clarified according to the research. The used circulations created by the start of service business could be classified into six patterns according to approaches from roads and space circulations. The cases which space circulations specializes in service were approximately 60% and the cases which approaches from roads specialize in service were half or less. The cases systematically set in accordance with the contents of service business and the situation of land use among the cases which share used circulations together can be seen. In the cases which service circulations are completely detached, sites excluding sites of farming households tend to be used. In addition, in the cases which circulations have been changed after starting service business, the originally unforeseen circumstances such as the business scales enlarged or contracted due to the alternation of generations and the usage of the empty space resulting from the enhanced function production have happened.<br>&nbsp;As to function layouts in sites, there were half or more farming households which had formed service space through setting the rooms related to diversified business with a focus on easily accessible places such as places located beside roads, etc. There are not only the cases which have given priority to service space and gradually increased it but also the cases which have eliminated it on the contrary among the cases which have changed function layouts during the period from the start of service business to the surveys. There are a few cases which have systematically adjusted function layouts and so it is a reality that they have tackled the actual circumstances on an ad hoc basis while ensuring new space is hard due to limited site areas and existing buildings.

    This paper reviews density control regulations in the city of Tehran, Iran, for private residential developments, meaning those constructed not by public sector but by individuals. The focus here is on the measures which seek to address physical attributes such as Building Coverage Ratio, Floor Area Ratio and provisions for open spaces. Based on statistical data with regards to recent private housing development, this paper argues that, as a result of transitory citywide development laws, most residential zones in Tehran have changed into mainly 5 storey apartment buildings, with limited open and semi-open spaces, in the interests of developers, in turn influenced by high demand and profit in the housing market.

    This study examines the progress achieved by projects aimed at promoting collective relocation for disaster prevention since the Great East Japan Earthquake and their current state of affairs. This investigation seeks to clarify the spatial characteristics of the residential land currently under construction on hilly terrain as part of these collective relocation projects. Spatial planning for the collective relocation project in Kesennuma city, which deals with a relatively small area, has focused on relocation that respects existing community units, i.e., the identical and unified types. In addition, most of the housing development plans focus on construction that will connect and run linearly along the National Highway 45, which is the main arterial road of Kesennuma.

    This paper investigates kosts, private rental housing facilities spontaneously developed by house owners mostly due to changes in their stages of life, the need for additional income, and the demand for cheaper housing for people who reside far from their place of employment and education. The arrangements vary considerably, making kosts popular housing options. Currently there are no specific design standards for kosts. Their design and operation are based on the owners' preferences. This research was based in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, which is the center of business and has the greatest degree of urbanization. The high housing prices there, combined with relatively low incomes makes it difficult for middle-to-low income earners to afford houses. Focusing on space planning by owners, this paper discusses various patterns of spatial arrangement in kosts and the impact on the living space of residents. The data collected was analyzed by classification and quantitative descriptive analysis methods. The spatial organization and lack of space trigger behavioral changes and the misuse of space. Furthermore, many kosts are not up to the Indonesian standards of a healthy home. The formation of specific design standards is important to improve the physical conditions of kosts and their sense of community.

    Following Chinas Reform and Opening up from 1978, the number of agricultural labors decreased drastically after a steady rise in the number of laborers who moved into the cities. According to Chinas rapid urbanization and modernization, compared with the traditional farming life, the former life has changed a lot. Traditional residences have not fit to the modern life before villages reorganization by the New rural polices that was declared by Chinese government since 2005. Accordingly, this paper aims to understand the current living situation before reorganization based on various conditions and spatial aspects, and tries to adress the key issues focusing on the uses. From the fieldwork on the targeted villages, this study shows that some of spatial features of the traditional houses, as well as residents living habits have been preserved, however, according to the new way of living demands, the transformation of spaces functions and their uses have been evolving.

    Design competitions are introduced into many building types for selecting ideas and plans to realize good quality of these facilities. However, it is seldom evaluated strictly on actual conditions after the competition or the prize. This paper aims to review the competition process for Iwamizawa compound station building with the prize of AIJ 2010, and analyze spatial characteristics based on the actual conditions of using the complex building. Many activities are observed same as expected cases in the competition. On the other hand, the main hall where is important space in the design concept makes some conflicts on persons' usage because of occupations by particular types of utilization.

    In the Chinese government's first policy document for 2006, it stated that constructing a new socialist countryside was the foremost task facing China in the 2006-2010 five-year period. To achieve this goal, China must step up efforts in promoting social causes in rural areas and deepening rural reforms. This paper concentrates on New Shangzhuang Village built form 2010 as an example, which is a re-organized new village planned by the New Rural Polices. Study on the implementation of the New Rural Policies, and the improvement in quality of the farmers' living environment, provides a brief but systematic introduction about village reorganization's methods and characteristics.

    Resulted from China's urban housing reform, company housing allocated in the past has been entirely separated from companies and become privately owned. The paper examines such housing, studying how the residents have altered the interior space, and discussing the existing issues with the living environment and influences of family changes on residents' living style. It is found that altering the interior has not improved the living environment. Instead, such housing will, with time, become inadequate to live in while residents' lifestyle and family status change. The paper asserts that such housing will prove problematic as continued residence into the future.

    建築社会研究委員会は、人々の日常生活の質に直接的に関わる建築の今日的役割や意義について、私たちが今まさに生きている社会という観点から学術的に再考することを目的とし活動を継続してきている。2011年5月21日に開催された人間・環境学会第18 回大会において、当委員会は、ワークョップ「建築社会研究は東日本大震災とどのように向き合うのか」を主催した。このワークショップでは、建築社会研究は未曾有の災害という現実をどのように受け止めることができるのか、建築社会研究が議論してきたこれまでの学術的想定はこの歴史的災害にも通用するのだろうかという問いを軸に、東日本大震災を目の前にしたときの建築社会研究の存在意義を考える機会として開催、研究あるいは学術的活動のリアルな社会性について議論を深めることを目指した。本特集は、ゲストスピーカーおよび建築社会研究委員会メンバーが、当日の議論を振り返りながら改めて当該テーマについて考察した寄稿論文を集めたものである。The committee of Architecture-Society Studies works on meaning or role of architecture directly related to our quality of daily life withacademic reconsideration from the viewpoint of society. The committee proposed and held the workshop "How do we face the Great East Japan Earthquake as Architecture-Society Studies" in Annual Meeting of Man-Environment Research Association on May 21st, 2011. We aimed to make the workshop as an opportunity to consider the reason for being of Architecture-Society Studies in a social emergency. In this workshop, we had deep discussions based on some queries. How does our Architecture-Society Studies face with the reality of this unprecedented disaster? Can our academic assumptions handle facts in the most disastrous earthquake on record? This feature is a collection of contributions by the speakers and members of this workshop.

    宮城県気仙沼市の小泉地区は、東日本大震災後間もない4月に「小泉地区明日を考える会」を結成し、6月には「小泉地区集団移転協議会」を設立した。また、全住民へのアンケートを自ら実施し、約120世帯の対象住民の意向を集約、集団移転を実現する上でのハードルである100％の合意を進め、移転先の土地の候補地も定めた。3月11日から半年以上が過ぎ、集団移転へ向けての住民の自主的な行動が多くの被災地で見られるようになったが、集団移転を要望するという単発的な意思表明に終わらず、着実にフォーラムやワークショップを積み重ねており、徐々に県内外からの小泉地区への関心も高まってきている。

    本稿は、筆者が協力・支援を行っている宮城県気仙沼市小泉地区における住民発案による高台への集団移転の取り組みを紹介しながら、東日本大震災の被災地、特に都市部ではない小さな集落が直面している計画課題、復興・再生へ向けての集団移転に関わる建築行為と社会構造との関係について述べ、研究者が復旧・復興の現場に直接関わる意味や意義について考察するものである。建築社会研究という視点からは、大災害とその復旧・復興という非常時においては、常時において潜在していた問題が顕在化する、常時では許容されていた社会的な方法論が問題化するということが指摘できる。被災地で直面している二つの問題、(1)行政的方法論がもたらす意志決定の負担と混乱、(2)平行する復興事業による相互調整という浪費、について議論する。最後に、専門家と研究者は決して同意ではないという中での研究における実践の意味として、実務に役立つ研究という認識ではない、研究と実践の関係としての「学術的探求＝実務・実践」を展望する。This paper introduces residents' practices and proposals on the relocation to the high ground in Koizumi area, Kesennuma city, Miyagi Pref.,Japan. The author has been cooperating with this project. Also, this paper argues about the relationship between architectural practices andsocial structure for rebuilding from the Great East Japan Earthquake, especially considering issues in the small village like Koizumi area. Itwas found by participating in the Koizumi project that some problems will be revealed in emergency, which can't be recognized in our everyday life. The following points are focused in this paper; (1) Burdens and confusions in residents' decision making influenced by theadministrative methods. (2) Waste on mutual adjustments among parallel projects. In conclusion, it is having a view that academic approach can be one with practices, not will be for works.

    This study aimed to consider the possibility of the residential environment improvement for the deinstitutionalization of child care institutions with the basic recognition that child well-being must be unitary with the community. As a result of the group interviews to people who had lived in the child care institution, the questionnaire to institutions in Japan, and the case study of Hope Meadows in the United States, it has become clear the following points at issue; 1) Person who had lived in the child care institution is conscious of peculiar manners and the sense of values acquired by life in the facility. 2) The physical situation of surroundings of the facility brings a big influence to the construction of child's interpersonal relationship and the training of sociability and cooperation. 3) A multi-generational neighborhood that supports families who have adopted children from foster care has been realized by the conversion of a existing residential area.

    This study intends to discuss the relationship between elementary schools and local communities in Guilin City, China, where major reorganization of school districts is taking place, from a viewpoint of issues shared throughout the Chinese society. Upon finding out facts about the reorganization of elementary schools in Guilin's central District 5, we analyzed consciousness shared by residents surrounding the reorganized schools. Whereas the main factor for school reformation in Japan are dwindling population, influx of population from rural areas or municipal mergers are the surveyed area's major reasons for the reorganization, mostly done through building additional megaschools. Through the research, it was found that the neighborhood residents are generally in support of such reorganization, but their satisfaction level and interest are varied based on the type of reorganization.

    This study aimed to consider the issues on the family room for baby care as a fundamental daily life environment based on the survey of their actual conditions and users' evaluation from the viewpoint of gender equality. As a result of analysis, the following points have become clear; 1) Breastfeeding space shouldn't be seen from the entrance of the family room. 2) Diaper changing space and waiting space should be seen from the entrance of the family room, and shouldn't be seen from breastfeeding space. 3) The entrance to breastfeeding space should be partitioned by a door, not a curtain. 4) A buffer zone between breastfeeding space and another partition is important to block people directly looking in.

    Authors developed computer software for simplified simulation of thermal environment of glassed-in spaces. By using the software, this paper shows how to adjust the temperature of glassed-in spaces through the methodical analysis in different design conditions and climate conditions. It is found that the software is useful for designing of glassed-in spaces when the architect cannot empirically predict the thermal environment by changing design conditions. Besides, the software is especially useful in reduction of time and labor when the architect makes various studies and inputs many different conditions on the early stage of designing.

    本研究は、大規模な小学校区の再編が進む中国桂林市において、中国に共通する社会的課題を踏まえた小学校と地域社会の関係を考察することを目的とする。桂林市の都市中心部である5区において小学校再編の経緯を把握し、再編された小学校周辺の住民意識を分析した。日本では人口減少を理由に統廃合が進むことが一般的であるが、当該地域では、市町村合併や農村部からの人口流入を契機として大規模校の増設を主とした再編が進んでいる。住民は、学区再編を概ね評価しているが、再編タイプにより満足度や関心が異なることが分かった。

    This study aimed to consider the possibility of the residential environment improvement for the deinstitutionalization of child care institutions with the basic recognition that child well-being must be unitary with the community. As a result of the group interviews to people who had lived in the child care institution, the questionnaire to institutions in Japan, and the case study of Hope Meadows in the United States, it has become clear the following points at issue; 1) Person who had lived in the child care institution is conscious of peculiar manners and the sense of values acquired by life in the facility. 2) The physical situation of surroundings of the facility brings a big influence to the construction of child's interpersonal relationship and the training of sociability and cooperation. 3) A multi-generational neighborhood that supports families who have adopted children from foster care has been realized by the conversion of a existing residential area.

    Co-op Sapporo recently opened a supermarket in a depopulating aging town Akabira, in rural Hokkaido. This exceptional case exemplifi es a business model encouraging use of inner-city facilities and reestablishing communities. The store is located in the heart of town acquiring a former school site and buses off er free transportation to co-op members. Such conditions allow the elderly to shop when they come to the city center to visit clinics. The waiting space in the supermarket is functioning as a community space not only for the elderly but also for younger generations.

    With the full implementation of urban housing system reform in China in the early 1990s, most of urban housing has transformed from public ownership to private ownership. Today, with the massive development and construction of urban housing, the existing residential complexes are obviously old and backward in terms of residential environment. While reconstruction of most old residential complexs is unlikely in the near future, the paper takes Shezhai residential complex for example, which is the employee housing complex of Shenyang Locomotive & Rolling Stock Plant, administers questionnaire survey in addition to site observation to investigate the status quo of residential environment in Shezhai residential complex and discuss the existing issues and creation of a sustainable residential community. Originally built in 1939 and renovated in 1995, Shezhai residential complex is the first employee housing complex reconstructed with joint investment by the country, the enterprise, and individuals in accordance with regulations with respect to reform of Chinese urban housing system. According to investigation of Shezhai residential complex, the following characteristics are found: (1) Over 80% of the houses in it are privately owned, representing a significant transformation into private ownership; (2) Alteration of balcony is a common characteristic of residents' use of their houses in the complex, tending to make the balcony part of the interior space and part of a kitchen; (3) Low-storey residents have strong sense of safeguarding their property; (4) Interior activity space is not available in the complex, and the outdoor space is most used by elderly residents; (5) The residents do not appear active in interaction within the neighborhood; and (6) More than half of the residents are affirmative about their intention to settle down in the complex. These findings are analyzed and lead to the conclusion that the existing issues with the residential environment of Shezhai residential complex mainly have to do with the design of activity space for the residents.Proceedings of the 9th Conference of Asian City Planning 2010, Tokyo, Japan

    Japan started privatization of its postal system in 2007 under the 10-year privatization plan. In addition, it is planning that reorganization of the post offices especially in under-populated areas. In this study, we focused on the situation of post offices in Hokkaido before and after privatization from the viewpoint of the relation to local community. The questionnaire, the telephone interviews and the field survey were conducted in 2006 and 2008. As a result, following points were cleared; the post offices in under-populated areas have values as public property which contributes to social capital, and the location is important for residents and staffs to have communication each other and to keep the attachment on the post offices.

    Computer software for simplifi ed simulation of thermal environment of glassed-in spaces was developed to support planning of those spaces. The software outputs the temperature and the relative humidity of glassed-in spaces after users input the date, the location, the layout of those spaces (dimensions and direction), the specification of surfaces (roof, four walls, and floor), the setting of floor heating and the condition of natural ventilation. Compared the predicted temperature with the actual measured temperature of a real glassed-in space, it appears that the software is a practical tool for understanding the overall behavior of thermal environment of glassed-in spaces, or for comparing the characteristics of thermal environment of those spaces under different input conditions.

    This study aims to grasp characteristics on cognition against spatial structure of volumes with random layout by the sketch map analysis of the treatment center for mentally disturbed children in Date, Hokkaido. This building designed by Sou Fujimoto Architects is awarded some architectural prizes. We made two hypotheses from sketch maps of visiting experiment; (1) cognition on spatial structure as a whole could be related to acquiring perception of opening toward outside between volumes, (2) in case developing cognition on the repetition of volumes is not enough, the property of rooms as "Figure" will weaken. As a result of the verification analysis by computer graphic simulations, it has become clear that both of rooms and spaces between rooms in cognition would be reversed as "Figure" and "Ground" each other on spatial structure of volumes with random layout.

    This proposal is a planning approach of "Evaluation - Optimization - Management" to renewal the public elementary school as a nucleus of a new community by private initiatives. As for the Makomanai district in Sapporo, the population decrease and the declining birthrate and a growing proportion of elderly people in recent years are remarkable as well as other suburbs of Japan. Therefore, making the school size proper is being examined by the Sapporo city board of education. It is judged that it is proper to thin out two of four elementary schools in the district though a concrete plan has not been decided yet.

    This paper aims to argue the issues on consensus building in design process of the private hospital by focusing on ISO9001: Quality management systems-Requirement. The following were clarified by analyzing concrete communication of design process in detail A kind of gap between "requirements specified by the customer" and "requirements not stated by the customer but necessary for specified or intended use where known" makes oversight some important requirements because both the medical staff and the architect as specialists have excessive assumption each other. To improve design process as collaborative practice, it is necessary to disclose activities on "Quality management systems" and enhance accountability to the client.

    This study aims to understand actual conditions of transportation in adult day service programs. Based on the questionnaire and the observation about conducting transportation service, we found some issues of the behavioral environment; a) Parking spaces for adult day service are indispensable near the residences. The approach with barrier makes not only danger, but discomfort for other users in long waiting time. b) It is important to visualize the entrance. Lack of maintenance puts users in danger, and it is difficult for care staffs to navigate them to their house inside. c) Support by the family is very effective. However, users who can't depend on the family need a kind of assisted service for getting on and off at their residences.

Tierra Contenta Corporation, which is the non-profit organization in the United States, has been developing Tierra Contenta residential area in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This development aims to create mixed-income community in the situation of gentrification and urban sprawl. The important points of an argument to consider methods of development management by public-private partnership in Japan are following: One is that the roundtable consists of pluralistic individuals should be problem-based. It is indispensable for this roundtable to have privatization and constitution as the non-stock corporation. And the other is the project-based non-profit organization. Japan doesn't have a grounding in non-stock corporations culturally and institutionally, so that it means a kind of strategy to train NPOs fundamentally in Japan.

    This study aims at acquiring the useful knowledge to realize travel environment where persons with disabilities can enjoy their trip. Focusing on planning and conducting the trip for persons with disabilities through volunteer activities, we understood the actual conditions of the project which realizes the trip for them in the present public space. Several issues were found; using the escalator by force for lack of elevators puts persons with disabilities in danger, the escalator for a wheelchair user is not working for the group, and the rest rooms for persons with disabilities aren't sufficient anywhere, etc. There is a certain limit in the physical support. It is important to consider an effectual balance of the care service and the support by the built environment in appropriate situations.

    This research aims to probe characteristics of action with the GPS navigation tool and to find human-environment interactions based on the concept of Act-finding in urban space. It became clear that the number of eyes action in the case with GPS was less than it in the case without tools. However, in 2nd experiment, the number of eyes action in the case with GPS was more than it in the case without tools. This tendency of eyes action was related to the space structure. Especially, the eyes action without tools was frequently occurred at the intersection in urban space. In all cases, the eyes action played a important role to interact with situated environment.

    This research aims to investigate how visually handicapped persons use their white cane to orient themselves when walking, and analyze their characteristic of behavior related to spatial perception from the viewpoint of ecological psychology. By focusing on 5 totally blind persons, it was found that they have been developing their dexterity for oneself in daily life. Basically, they walks along the physical guide using by slide motions and touch techniques which were instructed in the walking training. However, they have been progressing the combination slide motions with touch techniques as complex skills. The diversity of active touches could be a clue to understand spatial perception of visually handicapped persons, and to consider the effective inventions of the universal design for them.

    The purpose of this research is to assess the accessibility of restrooms in daily life for elders and persons with disabilities around Sapporo station.We reviewed laws and guidelines for the barrier-free design in Japan and the United States, and also conducted the field check about the usability of public spaces. For considering the public capacity which is the accessibility as a seamless environment for persons' stay in downtown, we designed the check sheet and devised the method to examine whether or not restrooms meet users' needs in daily life based on these surveys . We concluded that the present state of public restrooms around Sapporo station is unequally laid out or partially serviced. 1994年に施行されたハートビル法をはじめとする法律や条例によって建物や道路のバリアフリー化が進められ、また、ノーマライゼーションの一般的浸透により高齢者や障害者の日常的な外出の機会も増えつつある。しかし一方で、外出先での排泄行為への不安は大きく、外出自体を躊躇してしまう高齢者や障害者の人々がいるのも事実である。 本研究は、公共的トイレ注1）が実際の生活に即したかたちで有効に利用できるかどうかを考える立場から、トイレへの移動と設備自体の利用を含んだアクセシビリティ注2）を評価する手法を考案し、札幌駅周辺の公共的トイレのパブリック・キャパシティを把握することを目的とする。ここで言うパブリック・キャパシティとは、ある設備の公共的な利用に対する受容力を指す。特に駅周辺の市街地においては、建物に用のない人でも、その建物のトイレを利用することが日常的に行われる。そのため、公共的トイレのパブリック・キャパシティはその対象施設内からの利用に限られないことが望ましい。公共的トイレのパブリック・キャパシティを高めることで、高齢者や障害者の不安が減り、外出する機会が増加することが期待できる。

    In this research, we attempt to highlight the differences between specialists and non-specialists in their overall approach and memory skills by comparing their ‘micro acts' patterns, as they are constructing ‘models' using 1:10 scale LEGO(r) blocks. By focusing on 50 subjects (with and without architectural backgrounds), we observed and identified different patterns of combination and various transitional stages in their ‘main micro acts' (attach act, detach act and pause act) during the construction of models under the proposed brief. On the contrary to our first hypothesis, although subjects with architectural background applied more disrupted micro acts patterns during construction, it does not necessarily mean that they would replicate the required task as ‘fluently' as other subjects with no architectural background. We noticed that a portion of the specialists who engaged the tasks more carefully initially also displayed some form of difficulties when attempting to replicate the models in the second trial. In contrast, there are a number of non-specialists who remembered better than their specialist counterparts, thus questioning the implications of ‘subconscious playing' and ‘conscious constructing'. © 2006, Architectural Institute of Japan.

    本論は、幼稚園における様々な遊びの中に見られる先生と園児の相互行為をエスノメソドロジー注1)の観点から詳細に記述することを通じて、先生と園児の協働注2)による場の創造注3)が、いかに遊びの成立と密接に結びついているのかを明らかにすることを目的とする。幼児にとって、家庭とは異なる生活環境かつ初めての社会的環境である幼稚園や保育所における遊びは、幼児が他者と協調し合いながら自己を形成し社会性を獲得していく上で非常に重要とされる。園児の社会性獲得に関しては、佐藤将之らが遊び場面における園児の社会性獲得と物理的環境の相互関係について考察し、保育園・幼稚園の担う役割を明らかにするための基礎的研究に取り組んでいる1)。一方、本研究の研究アプローチであるエスノメソドロジーに関しては、森傑が住環境デザインに関する一連の研究を通し、エスノメソドロジーをエスノメソッド（ethnomethod）の分析が主題となる理論的立場として理解することの重要性を論じている2)。本論ではこれらの既往研究を踏まえ、札幌市の市立幼稚園における入園初期の園内活動を対象としたケース・スタディを通して、遊びを成立させている先生・園児の様々な「やり方」を、先生・園児の遊びのエスノメソッドとして捉えることで、先生-園児関係から見た遊びと場の創造に関する分析と考察を試みる。For young children, it is very important to play in the kindergarten and the nursery school which living environment differs from home environment, and new social environment where children keep acquiring sociality.In this study, the various mutual behavior of teacher and children,who are observed playing in the kindergarten, is described in detail from the viewpoint of ethnomethodology. This study aims to clarify how playing places are created by cooperation of teacher and children. And how their activities are closely connected with the formation of play.As a result, the teacher uses different ethnomethods of play and the combination of them in the same play in the different case of playng places. And the teacher uses same ethnomethods of play and the combination og them in the different play in the same case of playng places. It shows that ethnomethods of play are always used in connection with space. In addition, play is not to be run format by the type of play prepared beforehand, it is expanded flexibly by ethnomethods based on play is not prepared for in advance as a matter of form.

    From the point of view of Act-finding, this paper aims to discribe some temporal characteristic aspects of action occurrence in regard to strolling behavior in underground street area. It became clear that the occurrence of the eyes action shows linear-like decrease and that of walking action shows logarithm-like decrease as much as interval time gets long.We conclude that as for strolling behavior, walking action depends on the space structure such as passagedistance or crossing point, on the other hand, eyes action don't occurs by the mutual relationship with such space structure.

    今日のアジア太平洋地域は、東日本大震災などの自然災害を機とするものに限らず、気候変動による長期的な海面上昇、人口集中によるスラム化、急激な経済成長によるエネルギー需要などを機に、住民移転を検討せざるを得ない喫緊のグローバルな問題に直面している。コミュニティ移転は環境志向で適正規模の居住環境の再構築へ向けての実効的な再定住手法として注目されており、地域社会のサステナビリティを考える上で有効な計画論とそのモデルの検討が必要である。 本研究は、アジア太平洋地域において大災害や気候変動、都市開発などを機に実施されている住民移転について、住民自身の自発的な居住地の選択としての移転（Voluntary Relocation）ではなく、公的機関やNGOなどの支援団体により資金が投入され計画的あるいは強制的に住民移転が実施されるケース（Forced Displacement and Resettlement）に注目し、当該住民が新たな生活環境に対してどのように適合してきたのかについて環境移行理論の視点から分析することを目的とする。 ２年間の実施計画として、1.アジア太平洋地域のパイロット的事例における移転計画の特徴の比較、2.環境移行理論に基づく生活者（移転者）の環境適応プロセスの分析、3.生活者の定着実態からみた既存計画手法の空間的・制度的限界の考察、の課題群に取り組むが、令和３年度は、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大の影響により海外調査ができなかったため、国内におけるコミュニティ移転および災害復興に関わるパイロット的事例の分析を行った。

    This study accomplished to build an empirical theory that people can live a well life stably, independently and sustainably in the provincial / local city or town expected a rapid 30% population decrease in 30 years later. And the MACHI NO SEITAI theory, chiropractical solutions in the urban planning on cities / towns with future 30% depopulation, was applied to the concrete plan on reorganization and restructuring of the public facilities. As for the application of the theory to the future plan, the workshops with residents in Kamishihoro town, Hokkaido were conducted. Based on these workshops and the result of analysis on surveys, the following important points related to the reorganization and restructuring projects toward 30 years later have become clear; 1) historical analysis on the spatial structure of the town, 2) method for cooperation and common ownership, 3) contrivance for communication in the commune, 4) design to connections and relations among facilities.

    Co-op Sapporo recently opened a supermarket in a depopulating aging town Akabira, in rural Hokkaido. This exceptional case exemplifies a business model encouraging use of inner-city facilities and reestablishing communities. The store is located in the heart of town acquiring a former school site and buses offer free transportation to co-op members. Such conditions allow the elderly to shop when they come to the city center to visit clinics. The waiting space in the supermarket is functioning as a community space not only for the elderly but also for younger generations.

    昨年度の建築や都市の公共空間に関するパブリックアクセスに関する国内外での調査に基づき、主として研究成果の発表を中心に行った。また並行して、ユニバーサルデザイン概念の発祥国であるアメリカでの官民協働型プロジェクトを中心に引き続き情報収集を行った。 第7回環境行動研究国際シンポジウム(Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium for Environment-Behavior Studies)で発表した論文では、NPOが中心となって手掛ける米国の大型住宅地開発のケーススタディを行い、エスノメソドロジーの観点から開発主体と様々な評価主体との間のコミュニケーションとその成果を詳細に分析することで、社会的使命の遂行を第一にし、資金的ストックを最終目標としないNPOが事業主体となることの居住環境デザインへの具体的な効果と意義を明らかにした。 また日本都市学会第53回大会における研究発表では、米国でもっとも早くから都市計画に関する州政府の権限が移された地方自治体の一つであるウィスコンシン州マディソン市に注目し、同市が意欲的に取り組んでいる参加型の開発評価プロセスの仕組みを紹介した。そして、その開発評価プロセスのシステムについて制度的指向性の観点から分析を試み、我が国の今後の政策改善に向けての見解を示した。 ディベロッパーや建設会社、近隣住民、その他の利害関係者が開発評価プロセスへの関与により協力的になればなるほど、開発プロジェクトは成功に近づくと考えられるが、その成功は複数の評価主体が単に"参加している"ということで保証されるわけではなく、"どのような姿勢と方法"で参与するのかが決定的な意味をもってくる。トップダウン的に見た「誰を参加させるか」という議論から、「ある評価主体が参加することの意味は何か、それがどのように意思決定・合意形成あるいは生活環境の改善へ繋がるのか」へ踏み込んだ議論へと世論を展開させるべく、今後も研究を継続したい。

    本年度は、都市公共空間に関するバリアフリーデザインの先駆的手法を把握するために、特にユニバーサルデザイン概念の発祥国であるアメリカで近年高く評価されているいくつかのデザインガイドブックを中心に文献レビューを行った*。また、北方圏・積雪寒冷地域に特徴的なバリアフリーデザインの現在の課題を把握することを目的とし、その公共空間のデザインが先駆的といわれるベルリン(ドイツ)・フランクフルト(ドイツ)・フライブルク(ドイツ)・バーゼル(スイス)・チューリッヒ(スイス)の各都市を対象に、主としてトランジットモール・システムに注目しながら、車の通行を遮断したエリアでの冬期における人々の移動の連続性についての利用実態に関する視察調査を行った。その結果、主として以下の3つの知見が得られた。 (1)現在の日本の都市公共空間のバリアフリーデザインとその取り組みは、ある単体の開発計画内で完結したアクセシビリティの確保にのみ焦点が当てられており、都市地域全体として将来的にバリアフリーデザインを発展させていくための長期ヴィジョンの検討が不十分である。 (2)長期ヴィジョンの欠落は、多種多様な施設や交通機関相互の空間の連続性を妨げ、それらのデザインのギャップを生み出すことになり、自治体や民間からの多額の投資が効果的に都市の活性化へと繋がらない原因の一つとなっている。 (3)その解決のためには、環境やニーズの時間的変化に柔軟に対応でき、地域性や都市規模に応じ最適化できるようなデザインガイドラインを、地方自治体ごとの政策レベルで構築することが重要である。
