Regional Master Plans, which are a non-statutory master plan set by prefectures, have the role of indicating city planning policies to local governments, but they only present the current status of cities and their general vision. In this context, Yamanashi Pref. master plan shows policies to forming and proceeding compact cities. This study clarifies the operation of the Yamanashi Pref. master plan and its effects and problems on the Urban Facility Location Plans. The master plan selects core areas based on its own criteria about current urban functions, the transportation access etc. Local governments are able to designate induction areas for Urban Facility Location Plan based on core areas. It ensures consistency between the master plan and the Urban Facility Location Plan, thereby reducing the burden on municipalities.
