A Practical Study on the Residential Environment Check and Improvement Program in Shrinking Slope Area

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the results of the "Residential environment check and improvement program" in the Edamitsu-ikku district. Launched in 2006, the program consists of neighborhood associations, regional councils and laboratories that exchange information by surrounding maps and records. As a result of continuous program for more than 10 years, improvement activities have been widely carried out by residents in each neighborhood association. In addition, in 2016, the Administrative Committee was started to promote improvements in areas that had long been problematic. Since then, improvements have been made in public roads, houses and vacant lots.
