The study found that the trends of moving in and out of the city and moving within the city can be classified into six categories and that moving within the city plays a significant role in the social dynamics of the region. Even though there was an increase in terms of population, some trends in moves in showed an aging of the population and its impact on the local community. In the case of a decrease in population due to partial moves out by households, the former households remain in the area, so it was found that moving out does not necessarily mean a decrease in the number of households, and this does not lead to the occurrence of vacant houses. From these findings, it can be said that the trend of moving within the city should be taken into account when considering the future image of the community. We think that it is necessary to understand the events occurring in the region in more detail and reflect them in future land use and housing policy considerations in the planning process.</p>","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12396","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50140303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between business recovery and post-disaster urban planning, such as urban reconstruction projects and disaster risk area designations. We developed chronological panel data of establishment units before and after the disaster using individual data from Economic Census, inundation range data, urban reconstruction project zone data, and disaster risk area data. Cross-tabulation tables and independence tests were conducted using the panel data. The results indicate that for establishments inundated to a depth of at least 1 m located outside the disaster risk area, the survival rate was significantly lower for those inside the urban reconstruction project area. For establishments outside the urban reconstruction project area, the survival rate was significantly lower for those inside the disaster risk area, for both nonflooded and flooded depths of at least 1 m. The results revealed that besides inundation damage, industry sectors, and numbers of employees, urban reconstruction project implementation and disaster risk area designation were some factors impeding survival.</p>","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12399","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50139431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the trends of certified properties were analyzed. Most of them were accredited with high ranks, S or A. CASBEE allows self-certification, and properties with high potential tend to be applied for third-party certification. Buildings occupied or owned by a single company tend to have higher scores than buildings with multiple tenants. Among buildings with multiple tenants, those with larger floor areas tend to be accredited with higher scores. In some categories of the assessment systems, it might be easier to obtain higher scores for large-scale properties, such as serving various refreshment spaces. Questionnaire surveys using the CASBEE Office Health Checklist were conducted on properties evaluated by the CASBEE Wellness Office. A strong correlation was identified between the scores. Owing to the evident correlations between the CASBEE Office health checklist, workplace productivity, and worker health, it can be concluded that the CASBEE Wellness Office can appropriately measure the planning and operation of properties in terms of worker performance related to wellness.</p>","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12403","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50134233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, the establishment of <i>kominkan</i> has progressed rapidly throughout Japan. In the meantime, regional autonomy should be broadened to regional management autonomy. Since 2014, the government has promoted the establishment of regional management organizations (RMOs) that implement projects with business perspectives and approaches. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), <i>kominkan</i> play a significant role in the establishment of RMOs. In this research, we investigated and quantitatively analyzed (1) the status of RMOs across Japan for which <i>kominkan</i>, etc., are involved in their establishment and operation and (2) some pioneering examples. In our quantitative analysis, a questionnaire survey was conducted among the RMOs in 255 municipalities to understand the status of the base facilities in the establishment of RMOs and to clarify the relationship of the RMOs with <i>kominkan</i>. In our qualitative analysis, on-site or online hearing surveys were conducted among the RMOs in eight municipalities where many activities were carried out, according to the results of our quantitative analysis. The results of those surveys showed that local governments took the lead in establishing RMOs in many cases and that the largest number of activities was carried out at the initiative of local governments at the community centers that are former <i>kominkan</i>. The survey results also revealed that <i>kominkan</i> and the community centers that are former <i>kominkan</i> contribute significantly to the establishment of RMOs. Considering that the main players in community development are residents, the support from local governments to RMOs should be examined and designed to encourage the independence of residents. Social education administration may play a proactive role in achieving this goal. It is said that community development is human development. RMOs should therefore focus on human resources development as their key mission. This is why we believe that the establishment of RMOs based on <i>kominkan</i> activities will lead to resident-led community development.</p>","PeriodicalId":42793,"journal":{"name":"Japan Architectural Review","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/2475-8876.12397","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50129888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
