| Research Abstract |
One of the most important problems for all mankind in the next century is that of global environment. As a most advanced nation, Japan is strongly expected to perform everything to reduce the overshoot which is our most likely outcome. Especially urban communities run as top runners of the environment collapse. In order to answer these questions, we planned to revise the concept of urbanism by analyzing the relation between factory behavior, municipai administration and citizen participation. As case study fields, six communities, the cities of Muroran (Hokkaido), Kamaishi, Kitakyushu, Minamata, and Rokkasho village, and Kadena town are carefully selected. As for Minamata city we have a datum of opinion survey For the Minamata disease and after, about twenty years ago.

This proposition is extracted from the comparative research for example of Kamaishi and Minamata.
(2) The ISO (International Standardization Organization) movement is rapidly prevailing and satisfactorily fulfillling recently. This method of exactly attaining the permitted level of each enterprise could and should be comehow modified and adopted as a newly developed atandard of every municipality to participate the global movement for sustainable existence of mankind.
(3) At the national level we already have some governmental policies : ecopolis, ecotopia, ecocity, earth conscious city etc, all of them should be concretely coordinated at the municipality and community level, of course.
(4) A lesson from the German experience should be noted. Importance of environmental education at home and the compulsory education level should never be overlooked. This way of sustaining and transmitting the newly developed life style of urbanites is the inevitable mechanism of genuine urbanism. Less
