　Under the “Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly and Disabled Persons (Barrier-Free Law)”, municipalities are based on the basic policy set by the government, including districts centered on passenger facilities, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. About district where facilities used by people gathered, it is supposed to try to make basic design (barrier-free basic design) about important and integrated promotion of business to affect movement smoothness.
　
　In Yokohama City, the creation of the basic design was completed in each ward 1 district at the end of 2016, and as a second round, including a review (spiral up) of the completed district, multiple stations in the ward for each ward We examine around and make as one basic concept.
　
　In March 2014, Isogo Ward created the “Basic Concept for Barrier-Free Areas around Sugita Station and Shin-Sugita Station” to promote barrier-free areas around stations.
　In addition to reviewing the areas around Sugita Station and Shin-Sugita Station, the Isogo Ward Barrier-Free Basic Plan was created by considering new basic plans, including those around Negishi Station and around Isogo Station and Fyofuura Station.

[Settings of Target Areas]
　There are seven railway stations in Isogo Ward. Among them, Isogo Station is the nearest station to the ward office, and there are high local needs such as barrier-free in front of the station and creating bustle, and folding screenura Station forms an integrated station area with Isogo Station. Negishi Station has the second largest number of passengers after Shinsugida Station in the ward, adjacent to the station area of Isogo Station, and forms a continuous area with administrative and medical facilities located between them.
　Therefore, we positioned the area around Negishi Station and the area around Isogo Station and Foldenura Station as new priority maintenance areas, and created the Isogo Ward Barrier-Free Basic Concept, which includes the area around Sugita Station and Shin-Sugita Station, which created a basic barrier-free concept in fiscal 2013.
　In the area around Sugita Station and Shin-Sugita Station, we are reviewing the basic concept that has been created in order to achieve gradual and continuous development (spiral up).
　In addition, around Yokodai Station, Yokohama City, the Urban Renaissance Agency (UR Urban Organization), local residents, etc. are currently cooperating to provide a barrier-free perspective as a promotion area for the “Sustainable Residential Area Promotion Project”. Because town development including is being promoted, it is excluded.

The basic concept for barrier-free areas around Sugita Station and Shin-Sugita Station, which was formulated in 2013, was shifted because it was reviewed in the Isogo Ward Barrier-Free Basic Concept.

　In Yokohama City, in order to promote the development of a welfare town where all people respect basic human rights, live with peace of mind, act freely on their own initiative, and participate in activities in all fields, We establish "town development regulations of city welfare" and citizen's all of you, each company, Yokohama-shi cooperate and push forward various approaches aiming at promotion of town development of welfare.
　In addition, based on "law about promotion of smoothness such as movement of elderly person, person with a disability" [commonly known as barrier-free law] (outside site), we utilize basic design system and are often used by citizens In the districts where we gathered, we are promoting barrier-free towns with emphasis and integrated emphasis.
　Development of each 18 wards 1 district was completed in 2016.　
　Currently, in order to further make barrier-free, we are examining multiple stations at the same time and working on the formulation of a basic barrier-free concept for each ward, including a review of the already formulated districts, and are currently being formulated at 55 stations.
