Yousuke YAJIMA Tomohide OKADA To elucidate the relation between three parties (i.e., "piers," "riverside promenades," and "Waterfront considered buildings," which utilize the waterfront environment as an attractive river space), analyses were conducted based on the following perspectives: 1. The Doutonbori River, which has been utilized for conducting various activities in the river space for 17 years, was used for analyzing the role and effectiveness of the river-administrator's phased strategic processes. 2. The Water Corridors area, where several types of "Waterfront considered buildings" developed using various methods coexist, was used for analyzing the locational characteristics of "Waterfront considered buildings" in the areas around the piers.
When the current state ofthe SHIN −SUI space ( space f ( 〕r familiarity with water )in the waterfront areas in Japan is seen , it is rather dif 登cult to say that characteristics of the ocean are sufficiently utilized , because fbuntains and watersplashing ponds , namely space arrangements that ean be effective even in non − waterfront areas , are fc ) rmed . In this research , therefore , we take note of the Japanese Park P且 anning System − abase fbr improvements of Japanese parks − to propose desirable methods 長 }r improving parks through utilization of the ocean in a way not seen in places other than the waterfront area , We wiil also clarify changes in the role ofwaterfront areas . Based on the results of such efforts , further , tasks for improv血 g the present Park Planning System in a way limited to the waterfront area through the use of oceanic characteristic8 will be revealed .
