著者：Shoichiro Anai, Nobuo Mishima, Yoko Taguchi題名：Land Use Management Practices of Ureshino Onsen (Hot Springs) Inn Association, Japan発表情報：The 4th International Conference on Engineering, Project, and Production Management (EPPM 2013), The Sukosol, Bangkok, Thailand, October 23-25, 2013 ページ: 482-491キーワード：hot springs town, Japanese inn association, land use management, out-of-business inns, urban revitalization概要：抄録：In many Japanese towns, hot springs (onsen) are a major part of the economy; these assets have great potential to revitalize local areas whose economic vitality has been declining in recent years. This potential has been underexploited; particularly, land use in some hot springs town is improper. Our study considers Ureshino onsen in Saga Prefecture, one such hot springs town. This historic station town, dating back to the Edo era (1603–1868), was once a thriving destination with traditional Japanese-style inns, but land use, street planning, and facility maintenance here have become haphazard as they were left to the administration of individual landowners. We focus on the inns and associated facilities such as parking lots and employee dormitories, and analyze their condition as a step toward establishing better land use management practices. The results of our analysis are as follows: 1) many inns that have gone out of business and been abandoned, even in the center of town; 2) inns have been left without proper management; and 3) parking lots have been added piecemeal without a coordinated plan. Thus, we argue that the Ureshino onsen Japanese Inn Association should take the initiative to manage land use in a coordinated fashion.英語フィールド
