Characteristics of the basic concept of barrier-free in the area around Hazawa Yokohama National University Station

①This basic concept has been started in the wake of the city's first inhabitant proposal system, in response to a proposal that summarizes the opinions of the residents' viewpoint through town walk inspections and workshops. In this basic concept, we are examining the opinions expressed in these proposals.
②With the opening of the station in November 2019, the area around Hazawa Yokohama National University Station is expected to increase the number of users of life-related facilities around stations, such as the opening of the Sotetsu and Tokyu Direct Lines scheduled for 2023 or later, as well as private development around stations. Regarding the start of this concept, prior to the increase in the number of users, analysis of current issues and examination of improvement of existing facilities were conducted.
③The previous barrier-free basic concept in Motoichi is created around stations that include areas where facilities that are often used by the elderly, people with disabilities, etc., such as ward offices and public facilities, are concentrated, but this basic concept is existing residential areas It has been created for the target, and is examining issues that are more closely related to daily life.
④Yokohama National University has been working with the surrounding Neighborhood Association to create a proposal for a basic barrier-free concept. Based on this background, this basic concept also incorporates barrier-free within the university. This is the first initiative in Motoichi, and it is expected that the area and integrated barrier-free will be further promoted.

We will strive to cooperate.
