　In December 2006, the "Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly and Disabled Persons" (commonly known as the New Barrier-Free Law) came into effect. In response to this, Yokohama City is promoting the development of basic plans around major stations and in areas where public facilities are concentrated.

　Therefore, the Kami-Ooka Station and Konan Chuo Station, which are positioned as the center of Konan Ward, which have both a wide-area base as a subcenter of the city and a base for local life.・ Konan Chuo Station Area Barrier-Free Basic Concept was formulated in March 2008.

To realize this basic concept, Konan 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.

　The new barrier-free law covers buildings and public transportation, as well as off-street parking lots and city parks for all persons with disabilities, pregnant women, injured persons, etc., as well as the elderly and physically handicapped, as well as off-street parking lots and city parks. The purpose is to reduce the physical burden associated with movement and to improve the convenience and safety of transportation.

　In addition, the following two major pillars will promote barrier-free access.

• 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".

　The barrier-free basic concept is to focus on barrier-free access to passenger facilities such as railway stations, public facilities such as roads and parks, and public buildings used by the elderly and disabled in priority maintenance areas. In order to promote integrally, we determine area of important maintenance district, route (life-related route) aiming at barrier-free, contents of business to be carried out for barrier-free.

　In the area around Kami-Ooka Station and Konan Chuo Station, in order to promote "barrier-free priority maintenance areas", it is composed of academics, citizens such as the elderly and disabled, related businesses and administrative organizations. After repeated discussions at the council and preparatory meeting, the basic barrier-free basic concept was formulated.

　In addition, after basic design development, each company makes concrete business plan based on basic design and, in 2010, will carry out barrier-free in important maintenance district with the goal of 2010.

　In the "Kami-Ooka Station / Konan Chuo Station Area Barrier-Free Basic Concept" formulated in April 2008, "Life-related Routes (A)" and "Life-related Routes (B)" are defined.

• Among lifestyle-related routes, routes that implement maintenance in accordance with the standards for facilitating movement based on the law
• At present, maintenance based on the maintenance standards of the Yokohama City Welfare Town Development Ordinance is being made, and routes that do not particularly hinder the smooth movement of elderly people and disabled persons.

• Of the lifestyle-related routes, taking into account the road function and role of the route, the situation of urbanization and topographical conditions, etc., and actively apply mutatis mutandis after fully recognizing the concept of the standards for facilitating movement based on the law. By doing so, routes to implement maintenance for barrier-free

• In the current situation of urbanization, it is very difficult to establish or wide sidewalks, and routes to consider alternative routes as an immediate measure.

　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
  ＊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.

　As a general rule, maintenance will be carried out by 2010. In addition, there are routes that will be from 2011 onwards due to other businesses.

　Set the level of maintenance, such as full or partial renovation will be set in consideration of regional characteristics and surrounding roadside conditions. In addition, we plan cooperation and coordination with other companies to carry out effective maintenance 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.
　In addition, the business content and business volume will be scrutinized in future surveys and designs.

Subject paths and business plans are as follows:

　Cooperation of citizens, including roadsides, is indispensable in order for the target route to be barrier-free to be effectively utilized by the "Road Specific Project".

　The following is a description of the contents to be tackled 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. that narrow the effective width of roads that hinder movement, cooperation of roadside people and manners such as bicycle users are important, and guidance, removal, and use of bicycle parking lots in the future Call for.

　In order to create a walking space network where all people can move safely and comfortably, each and every one understands each other, and cooperate with 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.
