Study on Evaluation of Environmental Character and Urban Development Using Land scape Units

本研究旨在发展新的方法来评价某一城市区域的环境特征，并利用这些新方法为保护这些环境特征的规划提供实用理论，特别是对现有的城市和区域规划体系的适应性，或正在进行的市民活动的适应性。第一部分展示了20多年来与自然和生态保护规划相配合的欧洲城市和区域规划案例。第二部分是我们对德国规划方法适应日本城市发展案例的研究。提出了一种新的评价城市类型环境特征的方法--“景观单元”。景观单元主要是根据地表的生态状况而设立的。最后，第三部分论述了公民将环境作为生态保护的社会背景的必要性，而第一部分和第二部分则是规划体系。我们通过日本冲绳的案例来分析当前公民活动的能力。为了增加市民的活动，我们开发了名为“生态城镇语言”的新工具，市民可以利用它来指导计划和活动。

This research aimed at developing the new methods to evaluate the environmental characters of certain urban area, and practical theory for the plannings for the conservation of those environmental characters by utilizing such new methods, specially focusing on the addaptabillity to the current urban and regional planning systems, or on-going citizen's activities.Part 1 shows the European (mainly Getman) cases of urban and regional planning which has been fried to cooperate with naturaland ecological conservation planning for morethan 20 years.Part2 shows our studies on the adaptation of German ways of planning to the Japanese urban development cases. We made up a new methods for the evaluation of urban-type environmental character using "Landscape Units " Landscape Units are set up according to mainly the ecological situation of ground surface.Finally Part 3 discusses about the neccesity of citizen's activities to keep the environment as the social background for ecological conservation, while part1 and part2 deals with the planning systems. We shows the analysis of the current ability of citizen's activities through the cases in Okinawa, Japan. In order to increse the citizen's activities, we developed the new tools called "Eco-Town Language", which can be utilized by citizens as guidelines for plans and activities.
