国立大学の教育環境

Abstract

As a basic study of the campus planning in the national universities in Japan, we have made a survey of their realities.In connection with the above, we have chiefly checked the land utilization as well as the relation between the floor area and the open space in the campuses of all the national universities, by using the aearial interpretation and maps.The above investigation has disclosed the followng features:(1) In national universities in Japan, the average area of their campus is about four times as large as the total floor area of their building.(2) Independently of the number limit of students and the campus area, universities are different from one another in the area of their outdoor playgrounds.(3) Campus generally consists of buildings (15%), outdoor playgrounds (15-20%), roads (10%), green tracts (40%) and other open spaces (15-20%).Figures show the ratio to the campus area. According to the random extraction survey of universities on a scale basis, there is found almost the same trend in the horizontal land use for the campuses of all the national universities throughout the country.(4) Approx, 35% of the green tract area is occupied by trees and shruds. Meanwhile, the rest approx, 65% is covred with grass and others.(5) From the above, we can conclude that the area of compus in each university is limited to the minimum, and the land would be utilized vertically for the campus in future, when more multistoried buildings are built for universities.
