Japan-Europe comparative study about the environmentally sustainable residential system which control automobile use -an evaluation of Car-free housing projects -

欧洲有近20个无车住房项目。它们是没有汽车的可持续住房区。我们研究了12个无车住房项目，其中8个在德国，其他的在苏格兰、荷兰、奥地利和丹麦。我们将这些项目作为可持续社区进行了评估，并在日本寻求了以下可能的条件：1。有的小区环境条件好，绿化、开放、宁静、安全。它们也是环境可持续发展和邻里友好的社区。由于不需要太多的停车设施，它们几乎是人们负担得起的住房。即使在依赖汽车的城市，他们也减少了汽车的拥有量和使用量。欧洲对无车住房、车库法、汽车共享等有一些条件。在日本，我们有一些与欧洲不同的情况。但我们可以认为，无车住房对日本城市有好处。我们可以估计在日本实现无车住房的一些条件，也许我们可以在日本的一些已经无车的地区找到它们。

There are near 20 projects of Car-free Housing in Europe. They are sustainable housing districts living without cars. We have researched 12 Car-free Housing projects, 8 of them are in Germany, others are in Scotland, Netherlands, Austria and Denmark. We have evaluated these projects as sustainable communities and sought possible conditions in Japan as follows,1.Some of them have accomplished good environmental conditions, green, open space, calm and safe.2.They are also environmentally sustainable and neighborhood friendly communities.3.They are almost affordable housing because they need not much parking facilities.4.They have reduced car-ownership and car-use even in car depended cities.5.There are some European conditions for Car-free Housing, GARAGE-LAW, Car-Sharing etc.6.In Japan, we have some different conditions from Europe. But we can think that Car-free Housing is good for Japanese cities.And we can estimate some conditions to realize Car-free Housing in Japan, probably we can find them in some districts in Japan which are already Car-free.
