Landscape agreements managed by community residents would be a useful tool to activate local landscape activities. The purpose of this study is to clarify the roles and the issues of Kobe City Residents' Landscaping Agreements. The agreements have contributed to the continuity of landscape activities and the reinforcement of the local landscape characteristics. We pointed out the problems: unpopularity of the agreements for the developers, unchecked matters such as change of façade and signs and the difficulty of change of the site plan in the design review meetings.
