It is very important that areas (housing areas, commercial and business areas, mixed areas) have their future vision in common and succeed to it. The areas should have their future vision before they make concrete tools for regulating and guide building shapes. To have the areas' future vision leads to survive in the era that the population decreases. Our research activities are based on such standpoints.
