１．Introduction

In December 2006, the "Law Concerning the Promotion of Smooth Movement of Elderly and Disabled Persons" (commonly known as the new barrier-free law) was enforced. In response to this, Yokohama City is developing a basic concept around major stations and in areas where public facilities are concentrated.

In May 2010, we formulated the Basic Plan for Barrier-Free Areas in Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama City, targeting the area around the Tsuzuki Ward Town Center (the area around the town center), which has a variety of functions, including the Tsuzuki Ward Office.

In order to realize this basic concept, Tsuzuki 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.

２．New Barrier-Free Law

（１） What is the New Barrier-Free Law?

The new barrier-free law is designed not only for the elderly and the physically handicapped, but also for all persons with disabilities, pregnant women, injured persons, etc., including intellectual, mental and developmental disabilities, as well as buildings and public transportation, as well as off-street parking lots and city parks. The purpose is to reduce the burden on the body involved in transportation and to improve the convenience and safety of transportation.

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

Promotion of barrier-free public transportation, buildings, and public facilities
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 standards (standards for facilitation such as movement)" established for each facility. In addition, efforts are imposed on these existing facilities to comply with the standards.
Promotion of barrier-free facilities in priority areas
Municipalities are responsible for public transportation, buildings, roads, off-street parking in areas centered on passenger facilities such as railway stations, and in areas where facilities used by the elderly and disabled are gathered (important maintenance areas). In order to promote barrier-free parking, city parks, traffic lights, etc., we can create a "barrier-free basic concept" in a focused and integrated manner.

（２） What is the Basic Concept of Barrier-Free?

The barrier-free basic concept focuses on barrier-free passenger facilities such as railway stations, public facilities such as roads and parks, and public buildings used by the elderly, disabled, etc. in priority maintenance areas. In order to promote integrally, the area of the priority maintenance area, the route (life-related route) for barrier-free, and the contents of the business to be implemented for barrier-free.

In the area around the Tsuzuki Ward Town Center, a council consisting of academics, citizens such as the elderly and disabled, related businesses and administrative organizations, etc. After repeated examinations at the preparatory meeting, a basic barrier-free concept was formulated.

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 with the goal of 2014.

３．Priority maintenance areas and routes for barrier-free

In the Basic Plan for Barrier-Free Areas around Tsuzuki Ward Town Center, formulated in May 2010, "Life-related routes (A)" and "Life-related routes (B)" are defined.

Life-related routes (A)

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 maintenance based on both standards is made at this time, and smooth movement of elderly people, persons with disabilities, etc. Routes that do not particularly hinder

Life-related routes (B)

Considering the road function and role of the route and the restriction conditions such as the situation of urbanization and topography, after fully recognizing the concept of the standard for facilitating movement based on the law and the maintenance standards of the Yokohama City Welfare Town Development Ordinance, Routes that carry out maintenance for barrier-free by actively applying it mutatis mutandis (set as Yokohama City's own initiative)

４．What is the Road Specific Business Plan?

"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
＊Priority areas: Including the location of life-related facilities (stations, government offices, welfare facilities, other facilities), it is particularly necessary that the movement between each facility is usually performed on foot, and that projects to facilitate movement etc. be implemented. Area recognized.

５．Maintenance Policy

（１） Target year

As a general rule, we will carry out maintenance with the goal until 2014.

（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 addition, in order to carry out 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.

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

６．Maintenance plan

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.

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.
About guidance sign, we make overall plan in Yokohama-shi based on basic designs. We will coordinate with each business and install information signs on the road.

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.
