摘要

Now adays many cities are making Urban Master Plan, but how to combine each participatory method is not established. In this circumstances ,it is very important for administration to design a "public participation program" for laying down an Urban Master Plan so that the public participation program shows the objective and opportunity of public participation at each stage of planning process. In this study,we analyzed the public participation program for making Urban master Plan in Kamakura City, clarify the present situation of the program, and suggest important points for designing public participation program. The results are as follows:(1)Public participation program in this case worked well to some degree from the viewpoint of "Collaborative planning";(2)Participants did not always understand the whole program because of the lack of information, knowledge, and problems of public participation program;and (3)At the same time, citizens' active and positive participation and administration's flexible management in the workshop approach and the planning committee led to collaborative planning and reflected to improvement of the plan.
