Since the type of farms qualifies accessibility for urban dwellers, regulation of farm land use would be required for public policy. In addition, he compared agricultural and environmental policy in U.K.with that of Japan, and discussed urban farming which is amiable to environment and landscape.
Usami analyzed the survey results of urban dwellers' consciousness on farming in urban areas, and clarified relationship between their demand for amenity and their opinions for preserving urban farm land. He also discussed urbanization process of Delhi, India and showed the serious environmental problems in mega-cities in developing countries.
