One can relativize one's own environmental values by comparison with those of the people in other countries, thereby recognizing that these values are indispensable for sustainable development in each country. This study, which focused on Russia and Japan, aimed to clarify the commonality, differences, and factors influencing environmental attitudes, concerns, and a sense of value. Within the two countries, we selected seven universities as research sites and interviewed 282 respondents using three questionnaires. Respondents in both Japan and Russia showed a relatively strong concern and positive attitude toward environmental issues. However, those in Russia were relatively more concerned. Both countries showed a high sense of value regarding the maintenance and preservation of ecosystems; however, respondents in Russia generally valued ecocentrism over anthropocentrism. Gender was found to be the strongest influence on indicators, followed by research sites, age, and faculty.

Natural Disaster gives serious impact and damage to city structure not only by disaster itself but also by reconstruction project after this. In depopulation era like in Japan, it is necessary to consider reconstruction plan in urban shrinking context with future low demand. This study clarifies reconstruction situation after eruption disaster of Mt. Unzen and recent urban shrinking in Shimabara City in order to consider urban resilience lesson. This study takes empirical method with official planning documents research, interview to key persons, questionnaire survey, and so on, and clarifies as follows. Since the residents' intention and consciousness for reconstruction needs to be intensified in reconstruction from a large-scale disaster, the reconstruction plans tend to be expansion-oriented. However, it is an illusion that temporary reconstruction projects bring the recovery of population in local cities in Japan. As the case from Shimabara, the followings can be pointed out as the concrete necessity. First, it is necessary to prepare a plan for housing developments for survivors which considers the future maturation of the development areas (especially the selection of their locations and the necessity of public transportation) and to carry out land readjustment considering demand for land after completion. In addition, as symbolically indicated by the abolishment of a Shimabara Railroad line after its reconstruction, it is necessary to prepare reconstruction plans of public transportation based on a strict demand forecast. Furthermore, reconstruction projects should be incorporated into city planning considering its sustainability.

One of the most traditional and growing major cities in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah City established building design standards for villas and apartments in 1960. These design standards have changed several times in response to population increases. However, these standards have had adverse effects on streets: 1) motorization has created pressure on planned neighborhood streets, which resulted in an unsafe environment for pedestrians who must share the road with vehicles. 2) Because of the lack of availability apartments in mixed land-use neighborhoods, the municipality has allowed apartments to be built in desirable villa neighborhoods. Apartment and villa neighborhoods had been separated until 2007 because of privacy concerns. The new combination of buildings has resulted in a loss of privacy in villas overlooked by apartment buildings. Apartment residents are also parking their cars in villas’ front yards because of a parking shortage. This study aims to 1) make spatial configuration arrangements of design standards, 2) define the spatial configuration combinations of streets and residential buildings by analyses of the expanding urbanization process, and 3) identify the issues with streets and determine a method to avoid such issues in future neighborhood planning. This study found: 1) a reality gap in design standards, such as the setback line and its relation to parking spaces, 2) unsuitable assumptions regarding car ownership per household, which resulted in a parking shortage, and 3) that resident use of sidewalk spaces as a semiprivate space negatively impacts the pedestrian environment.

This study is an empirical analysis to identify the underlying characteristics of the policy network for a tourism cooperative between Busan metropolitan city, Korea and Fukuoka city Japan. The relational structure between the key actors has been graphically depicted through the analysis and key actors, and coordinators have been confirmed by period through a centrality analysis. The results indicated that tourism policy network between Busan and Fukuoka led to the formation of public and private actors, the number of actors increased as the project proceeded and their interaction displayed a complex pattern. However, there was transmission of information and resources in each process by the various actor, the acquisition and the mediation of the information and resources was centralized by local governments. This implies that equal distribution of power is needed to maintain network stability.
