A Study on Temporary Reverse Application of Area Division System in Local Cities

This study clarifies actual condition and problems of Temporary Reverse Application of Area Division System(TRAADS) in local cities. While this method is well known as implementation examples by Saitama Prefecture, also in local cities it is applied in early 1980s to stimulate land readjustment project into non-infrastructure areas at that time. We understand characteristics and problems from 5 viewpoints as follows: 1. administrator's decision, 2. actual land use, 3. planning population frame, 4. landowner's demand, 5. location. Examples of TRAADS today face many problems because of difficulty of making consensus of landowners and decreasing planning population from depopulation.
