Expectation of Community Building

スポンサードリンク

We, as specialists, get involved with the city planning, cooperating with local citizens everyday. The process of planning cities is the process of realizing a dream. Communities exist inside of the attitude that people, who become conscious of independence of mind, self-identity, and responsibility as citizens, feel ones have a special role to play, have a common objective and sense of belonging, and try to act jointly.
There are two approaches for the Community Building (CB). One is to form practical plans, and the other is to enhance the reality of the plans. We believe that the planning experts are required abilities that achieve above two approaches. Moreover, it is inevitable that the specialists need sufficient leadership for plans and practices of the CB as well. Besides, Opinion leaders continuing to carry forward the plans are must have ability of diverse ways of leadership under any circumstances.
We believe that it is necessary to change our ways of thinking. Regulations in various fields are getting eased under the process of globalization. On the other hand, "the regulation" inside of people, such as stereotypes, common sense, and fixed concept, might be still remained. Therefore, we must caution ourselves about this issue as long as we are concerned with the CB.

What we need to develop the community building more is:

1) Massive education relevant to city/town environment
2) Development and implementation of training programs for leaders getting involved the city planning and its practice.
3) Development of the city planning support tools: "Planning Resource Bank, "Regulation Index", "Specialists Bank"
4) Provision for the Financial Contribution to the NPO, such as foundation of fundamental funds for initial support, the tax-exempt contribution system, and the lending mechanism
5) Support the information exchange among NPOs, specialists, tenants of buildings, and developers
6) Expansion of the Electronic authorization system for the permit of application for the NPO establishment and the additional application
