Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study’s main aims is to identify actions and policies influencing the settlement of Hakuchodai New Towns, which is located on remote areas of the local city, Muroran. The following results are obtained from a questionnaire survey and a survey on actual housing changes. In Hakuchodai, the location is evaluated to inconvenient, but intention to relocate is strong among both working and elderly generations. However, most of the actual relocations are caused by the working generation and involve moves to existing detached housing. In Hakuchodai, used houses are cheap, so the proportion of relocation destinations represented by existing houses is high. Much of Households with primal school and junior school students are from Hakuchodai.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

人口減、少子高齢化など、ニュータウンは問題が山積する居住地区として捉えられることが多い。確かに問題も多いが、現在もニュータウンに入り、住み続ける居住者がいる。ニュータウンは、中古住宅の安さが特徴であり、新しい居住者も当地の地縁を持つなどの特性を持っている。このような特性を踏まえることで、人口を増大させないまでも、ニュータウンの住みつづけられる住環境の維持は可能と思われる。
