Development of Management Techniques of Compact City in the Declining Age

本研究利用日本人口老龄化时期所有居住区类型的信息，编制了日本居住区图片百科全书。这些类型的住宅区包括普通城镇，这些城镇有许多不同的住宅和居民人口模式。这本日本住宅区图片百科全书是规划可持续发展和提高生活质量的指南。此外，该数据库还有助于实现紧凑型城市。此外，本研究还对百科全书的每一页进行了解释，特别强调了包括日本东京和大坂等世界级城市在内的大都市地区的住宅区。关于住宅区的分类，本研究特别研究了大约30公顷的邻里规模，而不是像以前的研究那样以市政规模为单位。邻里尺度对应于实际的政策尺度。因此，本研究中指定的居住区类型可用于审查城市规划政策。这本日本住宅区的图片百科全书，基于这样的住宅区分类，报告了与所有类型的邻里区相关的信息，使用了70个城市约2000个住宅区的大量数据，样本约为57000人。城镇命名所选用的指标因子较少。因此，精密度毋庸置疑。日本住宅区的图片百科全书是一个简单的系统。如果能够收集到每个城镇（居民区）的基本特征数据，如位置、人口密度、土地使用控制、交通条件和离市中心的距离，就可以确定城镇的类型。这本日本住宅区图片百科全书提供了详细的指标，以便于评估一个城镇的紧凑性。

This study developed the Pictorial Encyclopedia of Japanese residential zones using information corresponding to all residential zone types in the declining age. These types of residential zones include ordinary towns, which have many different residences and demographic patterns of residents. This Pictorial Encyclopedia of Japanese residential zones is a guideline for planning for sustainability and improved quality of life. In addition, this database is useful for realization of a compact city. In addition, this study explains each page of the Encyclopedia, specifically emphasizing residential zones in metropolitan areas, which include world class cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, Japan.Regarding classification of residential zones, this study specifically examined the neighbourhood scale of around 30 ha, not a municipal scale, as in earlier studies. A neighbourhood scale corresponds with an actual policy scale. For that reason, types of residential zones designated in this study can be useful for examination of urban planning policies. This Pictorial Encyclopedia of Japanese residential zones, based on such a classification of residential zones, reports information related to all types of neighbourhood zones using large amounts of data running to about 2000 residential zones in 70 cities with a sample of around 57 000 individuals. The selected index factors for town designations are few. Therefore, the precision is not doubtful. The Pictorial Encyclopedia of Japanese residential zones is a simple system. If the basic data of the characteristics of each town (residential zone) can be collected, such as the location, population density, land-use control, transportation conditions and distance from the city centre, the type of town is identifiable. This Pictorial Encyclopedia of Japanese residential zones provides detailed indicators to facilitate evaluation of a town's compactness.
