A Spatial Planning Study for Hamlet as Base of Habitation

本文从城市化、人口减少或人口多样化等现象，以及《哈姆雷特地区改善法》的新结论等角度出发，试图建立一种新的村庄空间规划方法。该研究在跨区域合作下进行了2年，调查人员被组织成5个区域小组。结论可以概括为三点。其中一点是，我们应该重新评估小村作为生活环境而不是第一产业基地的价值。第二点是，尽管统计上村庄人口的社会和构成正在发生变化，并变得多样化，但区域社会仍然倾向于继续他们的身份。与此相关的是，应该从不同于通常理解的角度来考虑结算形式。第三点是，在这种情况下，环境的文化方面变得更加重要。以恢复场所感的连续性为出发点的景观设计将比以往更加成为村庄规划的重要组成部分。

The purpose of this study is to establish a new methodology of spatial planning for hamlets, standing on the viewpoint that the circumstances of hamlets have been changed with such phenomena, urbanization, depopulation or diversification of the population and the new conclusion of Hamlet Region Improvement Act.The study was conducted for 2 years with inter-regional cooperation with the investigators organized into 5 regional blocks.The conclusion can be summarized in 3 points. One point is that we should re-valuate the hamlet as living-environment rather than bases for primary-industry. The second point is that even though the society and composition of hamlet population are changing in statistics and become diversificated,still the regional society tend to continue their identity. Related with this, the form of settlement should be considered in different way from usual understanding. The third point is that the cultural aspects of environment became more important in this situation. And the landscape design with the viewpoint to revitalize the continuity of the sense of place would become more essential part in the hamlet planning than before.
