| Research Themes | Spatial Composition and Transition in Municipal Housing in the Suburbs of Kyoto City and Surrounding Residential Areas -Through a fact-finding survey of autonomous operation by residents of municipal housing- |
| Principal Investigator: | Tetsuya Masaki, Ph.D. Student, Department of Crafts Science, Kyoto Institute of Technology |
| Outline of the Research In | the suburban residential areas of Kyoto City, the outdoor space of public rental housing has become a valuable vacant space and green space in the community, and it is hoped that it will be maintained and utilized as a local asset in the future. In particular, the small-scale municipal housing distributed in Yamashina Ward and the eastern part of Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, which was selected as the subject of the survey, was small, so it was easy to understand how it interacted with the surrounding residential areas, and we aimed to understand the regional characteristics of each by comparing them with municipal housing. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the spatial relationship between the outdoor space of municipal housing and the surrounding area through the actual operation of the residents’ autonomous outdoor space, and to link the findings to the policy recommendations of Kyoto City. |
