Abstract

Recently, in the local cities of Japan, the decline in central areas due to the suburbanization of various functions associated with the progress of motorization is posing to be a great challenge. Many cities commercial function in central city area are continuously decreasing. In spite of this, cities maintain a commercial function in central area. In this study, we compared and analyzed Hamamatsu City and Shizuoka City in Japan. Hamamatsu City and Shizuoka City are located in same prefecture and have almost same population. Hamamatsu City central area commercial function is declining. But, on the other hand, in Shizuoka City, the central area commercial function is maintained. In this study, we analyze Hamamatsu City and Shizuoka City for actual situation of crowds, movement around downtown areas, commercial function location situation in central area and suburban area, location control means of commercial facilities; and discuss the municipal assembly control of commercial facilities location.
