Comprehensive Study on the Direction of the Formation of Self Governning Land Use System in Contemporary Japanese Urban Land Law

(1)在对城市土地法律总体结构的理解上，我们重点研究了近年来放松管制和地方分权运动所导致的法律的体系结构和功能的变化。此外，我们还研究了最近的变化对城市和城市发展的影响。我们的部分研究结果已发表在1997年4月和1998年2月的《Horitsu Jihou》特刊上。以下是我们的一些结果。首先，近年来的运动虽然强调“自我决定”和“自我责任”，但并没有加强人们对理想的公共城市空间形成的控制权。其次，与西方国家相比，我国城市规划权下放的内容有限。第三，最近的特别措施旨在移动的土地交易和刺激商业。第四，这些变化不足以支撑社会主义市场经济形成的方向 ...更多信息 土地使用制度的治理。(2)从历史的角度看，日本城市土地法正面临着一个重大的转折。日本现行城市土地法继承了战前中央集权的法律的体制特点，在20世纪60、70年代经济高速发展时期确立了高度发展导向的土地法，在80年代土地政策自身发展过程中产生了“泡沫经济”。因此，日本城市土地法有必要从这些历史问题出发，建立新的社会规则，以形成在相对稳定和成熟时期良好的住宅和居住环境。(3)为了建立新的社会规则，日本的土地法一方面要克服本文第一部分所述的诸多问题，另一方面要在地方自治和公民民主的基础上，将城市规划权下放给地方政府，确立实现公民共同利益和公共利益的逻辑和途径，增强人民群众创造良好居住环境的力量。少

(1) With regard to the understanding of the total structure of urban land law, we have researched especially on the structural and functional changes of legal system resulted from the recent movements of the deregulation and devolution to local government. Also we have examined the effect of recent changes on the urban and city development. Some results of our research have been published in the special issues of April 1997 and February 1998 of "HORITSU JIHOU" . The followings are some of our results. Firstly recent movements do not strengthen people's power to control the formation of desirable common urban space, in spite of the emphasize of "self decision" and "self liability" . Secondly contents of devolution of urban planning power to local government are limited, comparing with western countries. Thirdly purposes of recent special measures intend to mobile land transaction and stimulate business. Fouthly these changes are not enough to support the direction of the formation of se … More lf governning land use system.(2) From the historical point of view, Japanese urban land law naw faceed a great turning point. The present Japanese urban land laws have inherited characteristics of pre war centralized legal system, established as highly development orientated land law through the period of rapid economic growth f 1960's and 1970's, and produced the "Buble Economy" of 1980's during the self devlopment of land policy. Therefore it is necessary for Japanese urban land law to leave from these historical problems and to establish new social rules for the formation of good housing and living environment in the much stable and matured period.(3) In order to establish new social rule, on the one hand, the Japanes land law have to remove many problems which explained in (1) of this summary, and on the other hand, it is necessary to devolve urban plannning power to local government based on local autonomy and citizens democracy, and to establish logic and the way to realize common and public interest of citizen, and to strengthen peoples power for the formation of good housing and living environment.
