Outline of Final Research Achievements

Whilst “streets” are the public spaces needed to be utilized and managed by local communities or private sectors, that concerns the local governance, there is not yet clear solution for these social needs.
So this research clarified the types of street management and the methods for implementation of community-based use to treat with issues based on two approaches to the community-based street use and management. The chronological analysis approach figured out the chronological change and typology of street management and the revised process of legal administration system in motorization. The case study approach on Japanese cities as well as foreign cities suggested the key points for well-managed process and method of street utilization initiated with local communities. Consequently, it argued the issues and possibility on “street design management” and phased development process of well-organized local governance through street management.
