| Research Abstract |
The management scheme of peri-urban landscapes, having scattered vacant lots generated by shrinking city phenomenon, was discussed with the standpoints of both vegetable production and land management. The discussions are based on the data which obtained by the measurements of the amount of vegetables and the identification of vacant lots distribution in the case study sites. In addition to this, qualitativeinterviews to the urban gardeners were conducted in order to understand difficulties when they start the farming activities in vacant lots. In the final section we discussed the possibility to form the garden city in Japanese context, supported by the new agro-activities by urban residents.
