일본 대도시 도심부에서의 지역관리수법과 운영실태에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Implementation of Area Management in the Core of Large Japanese Cities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzes three aspects of the implementation of area management in the core of large Japanese cities: organizational structure, function, and financial resources. Ten areas larger than ten hectares located in the core of large Japanese cities were classified into three types: (1) large-scale redevelopments, (2) mixed areas, and (3) mature areas. Two representative cases of each type were selected for detailed analysis. The study demonstrates the following: First, since the organizations managing large redevelopments involved the participation of all landowners and the financial burden of supporting their activities are fairly distributed, the consistency in carrying out urban development and land management is easier than for other types. Second, organizations managing mixed areas are "leadership-led", where one or more companies take main responsibility for managing their activities and maintaining cooperative relationships between administrative bodies and local residents. Finally, the management structure of mature areas consists of informal "neighborhood councils", and since urban development in these areas is performed piecemeal through individual rebuilding, area-level guidelines are needed to revitalize them. Further research should include an in-depth analysis of the relation between private and administrative beneficiaries and losers.
