Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to propose the positioning, utilization methods, and usage of farmland, by surveying and analyzing the positioning and utilization of farmland in urban and suburban areas of local cities aiming to become compact cities.
As a result, it is pointed out that the positioning of farmland by local governments ("intention to preserve," "intention to develop," and "intention to maintain") and the existence or non-existence of initiatives for farmland are different, by city size ("Government-designated cities" and "Core cities") and by farmland type ("Green production land," "farmland in urban areas," and "farmland in suburban areas").

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、市街地内農地及び郊外農地を対象に、自治体の取り組み内容について分析しており、自治体特性（特に農地の位置づけと都市規模）によって、取り組み内容が異なることが指摘できた。
本研究成果により、人口減少が進行し、将来的に増加する可能性が高い市街地内の低未利用地とされる農地を活用して、農地と住宅地が共存した市街地を形成することへの示唆となる。また、広域/優良な農地が広がる郊外においても、様々な方法で農地を活用することで、一体的な都市形成を構築できると考える。
