Abstract

This study examined the community-led urban transformation project as a transdisciplinary approach in Senboku New Town (Senboku-NT). The research method employed a combination of case study and action research methodologies. In Senboku-NT, the population declined from approximately 170,000 to 115,000, and older adults account for 37.1% of the total population. The demographic change made it difficult for older people to live in Senboku-NT. Due to regional problems, local communities began to explore community-led urban transformation projects. The “Senboku Hottokenai Network Project” is a project in which vacant building stocks were gradually transformed into neighborhood healthcare facilities, including supportive housing for older people, a group home for people with disabilities, and a community restaurant. The urban transformations of the Senboku Hottokenai Network Project may have triggered those in the entire Senboku NT. Our main conclusions indicate the effectiveness of community-led urban transformation projects in old New Towns. The results of this study shed new light on the importance of community-led co-creation among multiple stakeholders as transdisciplinary projects toward the Healthy New Town. Our insight provides the need to implement a new movement program to extend the urban transformation project for the Healthy New Town to other old New Towns in East Asia.

作为跨学科方法的社区主导型城市改造项目：仙北热建内网络项目案例

本研究采用跨学科方法，对千北新城（Senboku-NT）的社区主导型城市改造项目进行了考察。研究方法采用了个案研究和行动研究相结合的方法。仙北新区的人口从约 170,000 人减少到 115,000 人，老年人占总人口的 37.1%。人口结构的变化使得老年人难以在仙北地区生活。由于地区问题，当地社区开始探索由社区主导的城市改造项目。千北 Hottokenai 网络项目 "是一个将空置楼房逐步改造成社区保健设施的项目，包括老年人支持性住房、残疾人团体之家和社区餐厅。仙北 Hottokenai 网络项目的城市改造可能会引发整个仙北新界的城市改造。我们的主要结论表明，由社区主导的旧新城城市改造项目卓有成效。这项研究的结果揭示了以社区为主导、多方利益相关者共同创造的重要性，是迈向健康新城的跨学科项目。我们的见解表明，有必要实施一项新的运动计划，将健康新城的城市改造项目推广到东亚的其他旧新城。

期刊介绍： Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
