Study on Planning Process and Effective Application of City Master Plan in Local Cities

本研究试图总结《城市规划法》修订十多年来城市总体规划的规划过程。反映这一制度，我们很难掌握城市总体规划制定的总体情况，但我们可以假设有一半左右的地方政府已经制定了城市总体规划。首先阐明了城市总体规划是如何在中央政府或地方政府的指导下制定的。并对新泻县44个设计城市规划区的地方当局进行了调查，阐明了许多地方当局不能全面对待《通函》的内容，无论是完成程度还是规划的格式、内容和规划过程都存在差异。然后选择长冈市区，通过比较城市规划的法律条件和城市总体规划的内容，证实了上述事实。并且我们还建议针对即将到来的人口减少的社会，在内容范围广的范围内，应重新考虑与网络规划的框架过大。

In this study, we attempt to summarize the condition of planning process of city master plan after over 10 years at the amendment of City Planning Act. Reflecting the system it is difficult to graspe the total condition of the making city master plan, but we can assume tha about half of the local authorities have already made.Firstly we clarify how the city master plan made under the direction of the central government or prefectural government. And we also survey 44 local authorities in Niigata Prefecture which are designed City Planning Area and clarify the fact that many authorities can't treat the whole contents of the Circular and there are diversity with both the degree of accomplishment and the format, content and planning process of the plans.Then we select Nagaoka City Region and confirm the fact we mentioned above by comparing the legal condition of city planning and the content of city master plan. And we also suggest that against coming the population decreasing society the frame is too big and the frame should be consider again with the network plan in the content of wide region.
