　In response to the enforcement of the Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly and Disabled Persons (New Barrier-Free Law) in December 2006, Yokohama City has been promoting various barrier-free measures, including the development of basic concepts.
　As a central area of Hodogaya Ward, Yokohama City formulated the "Hoshikawa Station Area Barrier-Free Basic Design" in March 2011.
　To realize this basic concept, Hodogaya Ward and Road and Highway Bureau have formulated a road-specific business plan that defines the details of the project and the planned implementation period. In the future, we will implement the project based on this plan.

　In order to improve the convenience and safety of transportation and facility use for the elderly, disabled, pregnant women, and injured people, the following two major pillars will promote barrier-free use.

• Promotion of barrier-free public transportation, buildings and public facilities
  　When constructing and introducing public transportation (passenger facilities such as stations and bus terminals, vehicles such as railway vehicles and buses), as well as specific buildings, roads, off-street parking lots and city parks, each business operator・ We require facility setting managers such as building owners to conform to the "barrier-free standards (mooth facilitation standards for movement)" established for each facility. In addition, efforts are imposed on existing facilities to conform to the standards.
• Promotion of barrier-free priority maintenance areas
  　Municipalities are responsible for public transportation, buildings, roads, off-street parking lots in areas centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations, and in areas where facilities used by the elderly and disabled are gathered (priority maintenance districts). In order to promote barrier-free such as city parks, traffic lights, etc., we can create a "barrier-free basic concept" can be created.

　＊Priority maintenance areas: Including the location of living-related facilities (stations, government offices, welfare facilities, other facilities), it is particularly necessary to move between facilities usually on foot, and to carry out projects for facilitating transportation. District.

　In priority maintenance district, to promote barrier-free such as public transportation such as railway stations, public facilities such as roads and parks, public buildings used by the elderly and disabled in priority maintenance districts, routes (life-related routes) aiming for barrier-free, and contents of business (specific businesses) to be carried out for barrier-free.
　In addition, after basic design development, each company makes concrete business plan based on basic design and will carry out barrier-free in important point maintenance district. In Yokohama-shi, we carry out business with the goal of five years from principle, basic design development.

　In the "Hoshikawa Station Area Barrier-Free Basic Concept", "Life-related facilities" and "life-related routes" are defined.

　Facilities such as passenger facilities, government facilities, and welfare facilities that are used by the elderly and disabled in daily or social life.
　Mainly, (1) the facility must be used by an unspecified number of people, including the elderly and the disabled, and (2) the means to reach the facility is mainly on foot from Hoshikawa Station. Facilities that satisfy

　A route between living-related facilities, especially a route that requires a high need to be barrier-free.
　Life-related routes are classified into the following two categories according to the target maintenance level in the implementation of projects related to the maintenance of roads.

• Of the life-related routes, those that implement maintenance in accordance with the standards for facilitating movement, etc., based on the law, or routes that have already been developed in accordance with the same standards.

• Among lifestyle-related routes, it cannot be set to lifestyle-related route A due to local restrictions such as topography and urbanization conditions, but considering the road function and role of the route, facilitating smooth movement based on the law as much as possible (set as Yokohama City's original approach)

　With "road specific business plan", road manager establishes the following matter according to basic design in important point maintenance district established in basic design.

• "Road section" to carry out road identification business
• "Contents and planned implementation period" of road specific projects to be implemented for each section
• Other "important matters to be considered" when implementing road-specific projects

　As a general rule, we carry out maintenance for the goal until 2015.

　Set the level of maintenance such as renovation will be set in consideration of regional characteristics, current design, and surrounding roadside conditions. In addition, in order to carry out effective maintenance, we plan cooperation and coordination with other companies and consider the continuity of walking space.

　We carry out maintenance based on "smooth maintenance guidelines such as movement of road" and "town development regulations facility maintenance manual of Yokohama-shi welfare".

　We show plan as follows about route to carry out business to plan barrier-free mainly integrally and integrally.
　In addition, in order to make the plan more effective, the plan may be reviewed due to coordination with other companies or budgets.

　Target routes and business plans are as follows:

　In order to promote "road specific business", we will show the following about the contents to work as a road manager.

• Utilizing city public relations magazines and websites, etc., we provide information on the business implementation status and initiatives for barrier-free.
• Regarding illegal private properties and illegal bicycle parking, etc., which hinder movement and narrow the effective width of the road, cooperation of roadside people and manners such as bicycle users are important, and guidance, removal, and promotion of bicycle parking lot use in the future Calls.

　In addition, in order to form a walking space network where all people can travel safely and comfortably, each and every one understands each other, and related parties such as traffic managers, railway operators, road occupation companies, roadside residents, and roadside residents. Cooperation is required. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
