Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted to identify the management and social functions of public space in informal settlements in African cities. The case study of Lusaka, Zambia, showed that communal regulations form and maintain spatial order and foster local communities in informal settlements. The Kigali, Rwanda case study showed that in informal settlements, community-based upgrading of the residential environment is realized through consensus building among residents and areas under a community management organization that can mobilize government and community funds. The case study of Nairobi, Kenya, revealed that public spaces in informal settlements function as places for cultivating social relationships among residents.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

急速に都市化する途上国都市では、都市計画の枠外で形成されるインフォーマル市街地が市街化の原動力となっている。インフォーマル市街地は、未確定な土地権利、脆弱な建築構造、基本的な生活インフラサービスの未整備など多くの問題を抱えており、世界的かつ緊急的課題となっている。本研究で明らかになったインフォーマル市街地における公共空間のマネジメントと社会的機能に関する知見は、多様な住民が共生しうる居住空間を地域主体で維持・形成する可能性を示唆するものである。さらに、近代的都市計画の下で無機質な空間と化した先進国におけるパブリックスペースのあり方に対しても示唆を与えるものである。
