Outline of Final Research Achievements

Living (space) and tourism (space) are getting closer while tourism has been more advanced and popularised. It seems that urban space would be built based on the order of pleasure and recreational leisure activities including tourism. We, people, discover other place through tourism. We also discover our place through tourist’s gaze and communication with them. It would enhance our consciousness to and involvement into managing our urban living space.It might contribute to improve town-scape and relationship in neighbourhood community.
However, it has simultaneously generated new conflicts. It is more significant to exert urban planning and place management embedding tourism point of view.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

都市における観光空間およびレジャー・レク活動の空間形成を、住まいを中心とした生活空間との関連においてとらえた点に学術的な意義がある。また、生活者の空間に対する意識や実践的な関与のあり方と観光の発展との関連性についての考察は、今後観光という視点を含む都市空間形成において、関係者の主体的な関与を高めていくうえで有益な示唆を含むものである。
