[202] A study on the possibility of continuing to live in planned residential areas located in urbanization control areas
Case study of suburban planned residential areas in Nakagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture
Keywords:Planned Residential Area, Urbanization Control Area, Convenience of Living, Aging
This study analyzed residents’ intention to continue living in planned residential areas and existing villages located in Urbanization Control Area, focusing on differences in development history and household attributes. Planned residential areas and existing villages targeted by this study are located in an Urbanization Control Area, which means that there are few convenient facilities for daily life in the district or in the neighborhood, and public transportation is not convenient. As a result, elderly households unable to drive had problems continuing their daily lives. Through the survey, it was found that there is a large difference in convenience among planned residential areas due to the difference in elevation from the main road, which also affects the residents’ intention to continue living in the area. In addition, restrictions imposed by the Urbanization Control Area and differences in development permits for each planned residential area have led to an influx of new residents into planned residential areas, where convenience and the intention to continue living are relatively low.
