Perceptions of urban stream corridors within the greenway system of Sapporo, Japan

摘要

Many rivers and streams have disappeared through flood control, drainage works and urban development in Sapporo, Japan. Also, accessibility to and naturalness of the streams have deteriorated. Newer river and stream corridor improvement technologies such as nature-oriented construction, and public involvement methods are emphasized in the Sapporo General Green Space Plan. The purpose of this study is to make clear the perceptions of stream corridors and to show some factors which are important for integrating them into the Urban Greenway Plan.
