Homeowner Involvement, Land Readjustment, and Sustainable Urban Regeneration in Hong Kong

In view of the ever-growing problem of urban decay in Hong Kong, there is an urgent need for redeveloping derelict buildings. To overcome the inherent tribulations of redevelopment in the city, the technique of land readjustment (LR) has been proposed. LR is, by its nature, a kind of partnering project but its success depends on the homeowners' willingness to participate. This study aims to explore the acceptability of LR in Hong Kong through the analysis of the findings obtained from a structured questionnaire survey and focus groups. Based on the analysis results, policy and practical implications are drawn and discussed.

戦前期熊本の都市形成事業における風致地区の位置付け

This study aimed at clarifying the position of scenic areas of Kumamoto city planning before WWII. This study got a clue about the position of scenic areas from its explanations. In explanations there are words as “to make park for Kumamoto citizen” and “suitable for suburban residential district”. So this study start from the hypothesis that the scenic areas were the plan for whole of Kumamoto citizen, not the plan closed in its own areas. To clarify the position of, this study focused on the following three points; 1) how were expected the scenic areas when its plan was make. 2) how kind of relationship were there between the scenic areas and the other city planning projects, in the view of sites and the each project’s aim. 3) how ware transformed the scenic areas and its periphery, peculiarly works for parks and land readjustment. Through the researches above, it can say that each city forming projects; street planning, the union of Kumamoto City and peripheral towns and land readjustments ware made under an idea that quality residential areas had better be built in scenic suburban area.

復興土地区画整理事業における権利関係・建物用途に着目した再建動向に関する研究

Now (16 years later after Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake), the Land readjustment project is finished. Along with Infrastructure was completed. The rate of population recovery is 51%-124%. But damaged areas (especially low rise area, Nagata and Hyogo Ward) now have a lot of vacant space. This study aims to evaluate the building reconstruction in the readjustment area and clearly which groups returned based on building use and tenure. All occupants were surveyed in Misuga West district, which had experienced land readjustment. The main points results as follows: 1. 27.4% of former residents and shop and factory which buildings were damaged were able to return. When the earthquake happened, 80.0% of them wanted to come back. 2. Tenant occupants can't rebuild without support from some other organization. 3. 79.7% of occupants who returned town built private temporary houses. 4. After earthquake 16 years later, 47.9% of people are former occupants, which means 52.1% came into the area after the earthquake. Community make-up and the pattern of roads and blocks changed at high speed. For the community, the population recovery is important but who is returning is more important .For a community to recover, it is important that residents are not displaced during reconstruction.

PLANNING CONCEPTS DESCRIBED IN“THE DOCUMENTS ON LAND RE-ADJUSTMENT PLANNING”AND URBAN DESIGN IN THE POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PROVINCIAL TOWNS IN KAGOSHIMA PREFECTURE

This paper aims to clarify the characteristics of the Post-War reconstruction plans of the provincial towns, Makurazaki, Kushikino, Akune, Nishino-omote, Tarumizu and Kajiki in Kagoshima Prefecture, where planning and implementation were carried out collectively by the Prefectural Office of Kagoshima. This study comprehends the planning concepts described in Plan Documents on the Land Re-adjustment prepared for each towns, and investigates how the urban design in the reconstruction reflected them. Under the post-war circumstance, positive goals were set up particularly in the port towns like Kushikino and Tarumizu, where became the South End of Japanese territory since the islands in the south of the lat.30°N. were under U.S.Occupation. And by the distinctive design solutions, for example with the circus or water-front square, indivisualities of the townscape in each towns were realized.

A Study on the " Land Value Control Block " in Land Readjustment Project Area

これまで土地区画整理事業では小規模宅地に対する減歩緩和措置が採られてきた。しかし、その原資となる宅地の確保をめぐる負担の公平性の問題や、減歩緩和措置が採られた小規模宅地の高度利用や転売といった「看過される増進」の限定という問題は未整理のままであった。そこで本研究では増進を限定するとともに、その担保となる都市計画の位置づけを伴う「低増進街区」を区画整理施行地区に設定する意義と課題について検討した。事例として足立区六町地区における2階建て街区の実現過程を整理するとともに、その成立条件と課題を抽出することから目的に対する示唆を得た。六町地区ではダウンゾーニングを根拠とする換地設計により清算金徴収を減じつつ2階建て専用住宅という従前の土地利用を保全した。だが、その普遍化のためには隣接する他の街区とも調和する地区計画や、宅地面積を増やす小規模宅地対策の導入をなお検討する必要がある。また、負担の公平性の問題については、綿密な合意の過程を踏襲するとともに、施行者が権利者の換地の利用を制約できないという原理的な障壁を検討していく必要がある。

The application of real options model on evaluating land readjustment project

This study applies the real options model of Capozza and Li (2002) to evaluate both the investment value of an urban land readjustment project and the optimal timing of initiating such development. Using the project of Fongshan City readjustment as sample, we evidence the readjustment project is valuable and should be undertaken. We also show that results estimated by real options model are more stable and consistent than those by NPV approach.

Value differences in development applications and distribution relations: A case study of Trabzon

In Turkey, when development plans are overlayed with the cadastral maps, some cadastral parcels coincide with areas of public services. All cadastral parcels are not affected equally from the transformation that occurred by this procedure. In application of development plans, there is need for re-organising the cadastral parcels according to the new situation. One of the tools used in Turkey for this process is land readjustment (LR). LR applications are carried out according to the development law numbered 3194 in Turkey. In this approach, all cadastral parcels are taken into consideration as having the same value. In this study, the value differences in cadastral parcels and in the new situation with development plans were examined, seperately. Then, the possibility of using these values in production of new development parcels was researched. For this purpose, a general evaluation was carried out by taking into consideration some value factors in the development plan. According to parcel valuation results, cadastre and development parcels were classified and a new proposal for development parcel plan was prepared. Then, in a pilot area where LR application was carried out before, LR based on area principle and LR based on value principle-proposed parcelation plan were compared and the results were analysed. Key words: Development plan, cadastral and development parcels, land readjustment, land value.

The annulment of land readjustment projects: an analysis for Turkey

A number of studies have reported on the positive aspects of land readjustment (LR) methods in various countries, but the problematic issues associated with LR implementation have been studied less frequently. Any legal or technical mistakes made during the LR process can have serious consequences. This article examines why LR projects have been annulled by the administrative courts and what the consequences are, by focusing on Turkey as a case study. The analysis of annulments reveals that both generic and country-specific factors are at fault. Lessons for other countries that should help to reduce annulment cases and the negative consequences for urban development are suggested.

STUDY ON THE EFFECTS AND SUBJECTS OF MIX ENFORCEMENT OF LAND READJUSTMENT PROJECT AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT FOR URBAN UPDATE

In this research, we have aimed to clarify the effects and the subjects of mix enforcement of the the land readjustment project and the urban redevelopment project as a technique of an urban update. As a results are follows, after law revision, many apart replotting became possible by mix enforcement. It is easily to facilitate consensus-building efforts among right holder. However, the land and building of nonparticipant did not make effective use. Moreover, because of technical complexity, foster aid personnel with the expertise for promotion of two projects in an integrated manner.

Applicability of land readjustment in urban regeneration in Hong Kong

To solve the age-old problem of urban decay in Hong Kong, fostering a building care culture in the community is certainly a long-term approach. With a view to the immediate effects, resort is often made to redevelopment of dilapidated buildings in the city. Hindrances in redevelopment projects caused by land assembly are not rare, however. In light of the hardship in the land assembly process, the technique of land readjustment (LR) has been proposed. While LR has gained popularity in Western Europe and East Asia because of the fairer and more socially desirable outcomes that it generates, the applicability of this technique in a high-rise, high-density, urban setting such as Hong Kong has not been explored. In a comprehensive literature review, overseas case studies were analysed, and a list of critical factors (eg the power of compulsory purchase and strong leaders to coordinate the project) for a successful LR project was generated. Against these identified critical factors, the applicability of LR in urban regeneration in Hong Kong is assessed. The findings from this study offer valuable insights for the public administrators and town planners into the application of the LR technique in Hong Kong.

Shaping Tokyo: Land Development and Planning Practice in the Early Modern Japanese Metropolis

From the mid-nineteenth century, Japanese elites experimented with foreign planning concepts and transformed their cities to respond to the demands of modernization. Even though they faced similar situations, knew about established European techniques, and had large open spaces available, they established planning practices that were different from those of their foreign counterparts, building on the country’s own urban history and form, particularities in landownership, development needs, urban planning techniques, and design preferences. This article highlights, first, key issues of landownership, urban form, and urban development in the Edo period (1603—1867) and provides an overview of the urban transformation of Tokyo concentrating on the era from the early Meiji period (1860s) to the reconstruction after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake. It then examines the elements set up in the overview more closely through the study of three areas of Tokyo between the 1860s and the 1920s. The article highlights the elite’s pragmatic approach to urban transformation and underlines the importance of land readjustment, a planning technique characterized by a reduction in lot sizes to create public land and to widen and straighten out streets, plots, and blocks. Examined are the transformation of the Ginza townsmen district (with a close look at the Yamashita-chô area), the government-led construction to the east of the palace (notably the Marunouchi area) starting in the 1880s, and the Kanda Misaki-chô area, a smaller daimyo district that had been cleared of all construction. In conclusion, this article argues that Japanese planners developed a practice that departed from European and American design principles but one that was and continues to be appropriate for Japanese needs and one that might even offer lessons to foreign cities and planners.
