Study on Actual Conditions of Regional Coordination between Municipalities and Tackled Issues after Planned Road Revision: Case Study of Advanced Prefecture Governments and Government-Ordinance Designated Cities

This paper clarifies actual conditions of regional coordination between municipalities and tackled issues after revision of planned roads, and measures introduced by some advanced municipalities. Concluding remarks are as follows. Only a few prefecture governments carry out regional coordination positively, on the other hand many government-ordinance designated cities carry out it after revision. Therefore it is suggested that prefecture governments should present the policy for regional coordination to municipalities and participate at the initial stage of the planned road revision. It is also important to introduce necessary measures by negotiating with residents after revision.
