Outline of Final Research Achievements

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the overseas survey plan was partially changed (the UK was added). From the case studies of Jakarta, Indonesia, Bangkok, Thailand, and Kyoto, Japan, officialization the current state of districts that have not undergone sufficient official permission procedures during the era of urbanization and that appear to be disorderly at first glance, is justified by the autonomy of community, and the logic inherent in the given conditions of the living environment. Furthermore, from the evaluation process of applications for changes to the Right of Way in the UK, which is not in Asia, the relationship between the evaluation process included in the means of official recognition and the actual response was understood. Overall, these results showed that there is a methodology for planning deregulation.

都市・農村計画

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

都市計画が扱う地域で、地区ごとの固有性に一般的規準が適合し難いケースは少なくない。幅員、接道、各種の寸法・サイズ、用途、様々な規準が大幅な時間・労力、地区のもつポテンシャルの枯渇等に繋がることも少なくない。それに対し、アジアと英国の先行事例からは、コミュニティの成長・地区の与条件に対してより有用性ある空間形成を規準にとらわれずに創造する考え方・地区事情への専門的な深い知識からの判断で規準適用に幅をもたせる手続きプロセスの柔軟性、が明らかになった。個別地区の固有性を良さとして「公認」する施策技術にはそうした共通点がある。
