Study on Effective Operation of Location Optimization Plan for Restructuring of Urban Structure

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to obtain knowledge for effective use of Location Optimization Plan (LOP). Not many cities are actively trying to form a centralized urban structure.If the ratio of the area of the Dwelling Attraction Area (DAA) to the area of Urbanization Promotion Area is less than 70%, it is possible to maintain the population density within the DAA.Many cities do not have active guidance measures to induce DAA residence. However, in some cities, the DAA is narrowed and the residents are actively guided.Many cities try to maintain their living environment outside the DAA.

Land use plan and changes in the land use planning system toward its realization: A case study of Sapporo City

“…Regarding the land use planning and the land use planning system of Japan, which is the subject of this study, in Japan, there are several studies on the review of use districts, including their relationship with higher‐level plans, 10–13 and analyses of specific measures to guide functions based on LOP 14,15 …”

“…Regarding the land use planning and the land use planning system of Japan, which is the subject of this study, in Japan, there are several studies on the review of use districts, including their relationship with higher-level plans, [10][11][12][13] and analyses of specific measures to guide functions based on LOP. 14,15 As for urban planning in Sapporo, there are only a few fragmentary studies on the land use planning system, such as one that clarified the intention of designating new use districts, 12 one that evaluated the effect of introducing high-rise districts, 16 and one that examined the introduction of DP in existing residential urban areas in the zoning districts. 17,18 Furthermore, there have been few studies on urban master planning and land use planning in Sapporo.…”
