　In Yokohama City, following the enforcement of the "Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly People and Disabled Persons (New Barrier-Free Law)" in December 2006, various barrier-free measures such as the formulation of basic plans are promoted. doing.
　In December 2011, the city of Yokohama formulated the Basic Concept for Barrier-Free Areas around Oguchi Station and Koyasu Station, where cultural facilities, welfare facilities, commercial facilities and other facilities used by an unspecified number of people are concentrated as living bases in Kanagawa Ward.
　In order to realize this basic concept, Kanagawa Ward and Road and Highway Bureau have formulated a Road-Specific Business Plan that specifies the details of the project and the expected period of implementation. In the future, we will implement the project based on this plan.

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

• Promotion of barrier-free public transportation, buildings, public facilities, etc.
  　When constructing or 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 company / building We obligate facility installation managers such as owners to comply with the "barrier-free maintenance standards (moving facilitation standards)" established for each facility. In addition, efforts are imposed on these existing facilities to comply with the standards.
• Promotion of barrier-free access to priority maintenance areas (*)
  　Municipalities are located in areas centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations, where facilities used by the elderly and disabled gather, and in areas where movement between facilities is usually performed on foot (priority maintenance areas), In order to promote barrier-free transportation such as public transportation, buildings, roads, off-street parking lots, city parks, traffic lights, etc., we can create a "barrier-free basic concept" in an integrated manner.

※ Priority maintenance areas

　The area of the entire district is less than 400ha, where there are three or more living-related facilities, and a considerable number of elderly people and persons with disabilities who use the facility can move between the facilities on foot. It is a district that is expected to be performed, and it is recognized that it is necessary to promote priority and integrated barrier-free. The boundaries of the priority maintenance area will be clearly displayed as much as possible by town boundaries, character boundaries, roads, rivers, railways, etc., city planning roads, etc.

　In priority maintenance districts, to promote barrier-free public transportation such as railway stations, public facilities such as roads and parks, and public buildings used by the elderly, disabled, etc. It defines the range of priority maintenance districts, routes (life-related routes) to make barrier-free, and the contents of projects (specific projects, etc.) to be implemented 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 in principle five years after basic design development.

　In the "Basic Concept for Barrier-Free around Oguchi Station / Koyasu Station", "Life-related facilities" and "Life-related routes" are defined.

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

　Routes between living-related facilities, especially those that need to be barrier-free.
　In addition, 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.

Life-related routes (A)

• Among life-related routes, routes that carry out maintenance in line with the standards for facilitation such as movement based on the law and the maintenance standards of the Yokohama City Welfare Town Development Ordinance, or routes that have already been maintained along both standards, etc.

Life-related routes (B)

• Of the life-related routes, due to local restrictions such as terrain and urbanization, it cannot be set to life-related routes A, but taking into account the road function and role of the route, travel based on the law as much as possible Routes to carry out maintenance in accordance with smoothing standards (set as Yokohama City's unique approach)

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

• "Road section" that implements road identification projects
• "Contents and scheduled implementation period" of road-specific projects to be implemented for each section
• Other "important matters to be considered" when implementing road-specific projects

　（１） Target year
　　　As a general rule, we will work toward the implementation of the business with the goal of 2016.
　（２） Setting the maintenance level
　　　We will set maintenance levels such as renovation in consideration of regional characteristics, current design, and surrounding roadside conditions. In order to implement effective maintenance
　　We plan cooperation and consistency with other companies and consider continuity of walking space.
　（３） Main maintenance standards of the guidelines for smooth maintenance of road movement, etc.
　　　Implemented maintenance based on "Guidelines for Smooth Movement of Roads" and "Yokohama City Welfare Town Development Ordinance Facility Maintenance Manual".
　　I'll do it.

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

　Target routes and business plans are as follows:

　We show the following about contents to work on as road manager to promote "road specific business".

• Utilizing city public relations magazines and websites, we provide information on the status of business implementation and approaches for barrier-free.
• About illegal private property or illegal bicycle parking that hinders movement and narrows the effective width of the road, cooperation of roadside people and manners such as cyclists are important, and guidance, removal, promotion of bicycle parking lot use will be promoted in the future And so on.

　In addition, in order to form a walking space network that allows everyone to move safely and comfortably, each person should understand each other and related parties such as traffic managers, railway operators, road occupants, roadside residents, etc. Cooperation is required. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
