Planning And Construction

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government established “Seaside park plan” and “Tokyo municipal seaside park ordinance.” The Tokyo Metropolitan Government considers that the conservation of seaside, riverside and urban parks make the creation of places where residents of Tokyo can come in contact with nature. However, it seems that the planning and construction of those parks have been carried out by the administration from one-side view. The waterfront parks are public and have been used by many people. As there have been no data what components of parks are important for users of parks, eight seaside parks called waterfront parks were watched, degrees of satisfactory of eighty two residents who live in metropolitan area about components of parks were surveyed, and degrees of concern about components of the parks have been obtained by conjoint analysis. Those waterfront parks are located at Odaiba near Tokyo Bay. Here, the components of parks are as follows; 1) Hydrophile, 2) Rest area, 3) Public transport and location, 4) Recreational facilities, 5) Scenery and appearance, 6) Maintenance, 7) Monuments, and 8) Openness. The following main results have been obtained from the research. : a) Both female and male consider scenery and appearance, and hydrophile are important. b) Rest area is the least important than other components to those in their 20's, but important to those in their 30's, 40's and 60's. c) Public transport and location are least important for teens, but important to all age groups. d) Those in their 50's found 1) Hydrophile, 3) Public transport and location, and 5) Scenery and appearance are important. If there is an incomplete answer in response, we can utilize the data effectively by using the proposed method.

Transport Mobility

This paper analyzes the relation between COVID-19, air pollution, and public transport mobility in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). We test if the restrictions to economic activity introduced to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 are associated with a structural change in air pollution levels and public transport mobility. Our results show that mobility in public transportation was significantly reduced following the government's recommendations. Nonetheless, we show that the reduction in mobility was not accompanied by a reduction in air pollution. Furthermore, Granger-causality tests show that the precedence relation between public transport mobility and air pollution disappeared as a product of the restrictions. Thus, our results suggest that air pollution in the MCMA seems primarily driven by industry and private car usage. In this regard, the government should redouble its efforts to develop policies to reduce industrial pollution and private car usage.

The Way

Out of the many ingredients that together build urban areas, three deserve particular consideration as their relationship is evolving: the functional centrality, the morphology of built-up areas and the way of life. Those three characteristics do not necessarily match along territorial lines anymore. To overcome this limitation, this article suggests approaching urbanity in terms of cohesion. To illustrate this approach under a specific analytical point of view, the paper describes a cohesion index based on the commuter relationships between the Swiss communes from 1970 to 2000. For 2000, further distinction is made between car-based and public transport-based commuting patterns, which allowed discrimination between two scales of cohesiveness between the Swiss agglomerations.
