Experimental Web Program for Promoting Residents' Participation on Urban Master Planning

我参与了钏路市城市总体规划的制定，以使居民参与网络模式。我是在项目构思的后半部分加入的，所以我的主要工作只是通过城市网络向居民提供信息。这其中有三点是必须考虑的：（1）关注居民对总体规划的认识和认知水平较低的群体。(2)总体规划在城市管理和居民之间起着桥梁作用。(3)结果发现，居民的访问量低于预期;因此，有必要向公众开展更积极的宣传活动。对该网站的用户友好程度进行了评价，但问题是当地居民的参与程度很低。考虑到以上几点，我尝试了一个实验性的，虚拟的城市规划使用互联网与居民谁申请从一个公告钏路市。实验涉及三个群体，居民，城市管理和非营利组织。我们尝试在规划的初期阶段就将互联网的使用纳入规划，并增加居民参与规划的程度。我们还包括一种改进的使用互联网进行规划的方法。我们试图确定一些地方问题的调查结果，并制定了一个计划，讨论每个城市地区使用电气真实的时间会议。这个实验是通过互联网进行的，而不是通常的面对面会议室风格。结果发现，使用互联网是一个更好的规划方法，并确定当地的问题是非常有效的。然而，关于讨论，我们发现，一个实际的研讨会是必要的沿着与网络通信。我们还发现，为会议的讨论规定一定的时间期限更为有效。

I participated in making the Urban Master Plan for Kushiro City in order to make residents par ticipate in the web model. I joined the project in the latter half of its conception, so my main work was simply to offer informative ideas to residents by means of the city web. There are three points which have to be considered : (1) Paying attention to the residents who's level of knowledge and awareness is low in regard to the Master Plan. (2) The Master Plan plays a bridging role between the city administration and its residents. (3) It was found that the amount of access from the residents was lower than expected ; therefore, it was necessary to do more aggressive campaigning to the public. It was evaluated in regard to the user-friendliness of the website, but the problem was a low level of participation from the local residents. Keeping the above points in mind, I tried an experimental, virtual city plan using the internet with the residents who applied from an announcement for Kushiro City. The experiment involved three groups, the residents, the city administration and the NPO. We tried to include the usage of internet from the early stages of the planning and to increase the amount of residents' participation in the planning. We also included an improved method of planning using the internet. We attempted to identify the findings of some local problems and made a plan for the discussion of each city district using electrical real time conferencing. The experiment was done only using the internet, not by the usual face-to-face conference room style. It was found that using the internet was a better planning method and the identification of local problems was highly efective. However, in regard to the discussion we found that an actual workshop was necessary along with the net communication. We also found that it was more effective to specify a certain time duration for the discussion of the conference.
