Abstract of the Project of Information Provision on Factory and Industrial Sites and Location of Distribution Facilities

Abstract

In Japan, due to the business reconstruction of domestic enterprises as well as the structural change of industries, the factories have been removed, integrated, and vacated. As a result, these sites are now confronted with the problems of underutilization.With an objective to promote liquidation of these underutilized sites, the Project provides information on underutilized sites overall including removed factory sites and for sale industrial sites via internet.Since the opening of the internet site in June 2001, the access is counted up to 1,000 every month, and in nine month, 106 hectare of sites have been liquidized.
