The aim of this project was to investigate the reality of the urban redevelopment in Japan, and to propose some suggestions. We researched two cases --Shonai noda area in Toyonaka city and Kayashima east area in Neyagawa city-- from 2001 to 2003. Then, we collected the fundamental data of these areas --the historical background, the economical and social condition, the law, city regulations, subsidizing system, the material data related to the redevelopment, population composition and household composition, the social capital data and so on. We took pictures of the redeveloped buildings. And we researched the persons who were involved in the redevelopment, by both the qualitative method (interview) and the quantitative method (questionnaires).1)Costs and redevelopment methodThe redevelopment method in Toyonaka, which was applied to the whole area, spent a great amount of public subsidy. Contrastively, the method in Neyagawa was applied to only some point in the area. It was a method which enticed the landowner/landload, by using a few public subsidies.2)Small business of ownersIt is difficult to drive away wooden frame tenement row houses, only to be entrusted to the market self-regeneration.3)No social restraint in the redevelopmentThis is the problem that we can accept so-called "gaining advantage by complaining (Gone doku)". So far as we leave it, we can't attain the redevelopment permanently.4)The process of reaching agreementThe landowner/landload organized the council under the leadership of the municipal officials in Toyonaka. The other side, citizens agreed with the redevelopment plan, though the derivation of the municipal officials made opportunities in Neyagawa.5)The formation of the councilA resident council copes with between municipal officials and resident representatives. But, it should be organized as an independent and voluntary group by residents.
