This map shows the number of completed housing estate development according to
prefecture.
In Hokkaido, it is large both of the case and area of the project.
But, area of Hokkaido is larger than other prefecture.

this map show the number of completed housing estate development according to
community in Hokkaido.
It is concentration both of projects case and area in Sapporo and around Sapporo.
the case of 38% and the area of 55% are concentrated in Sapporo and around Sapporo.
Urban development is not influenced by bubble economy, but we can think that large city
is influenced by bubble economy.
Urban Development in Sapporo City
• Analyzing the time series variation of urban
development by using 2500 data points which
represent urban development projects
• Analyzing the geo-spatial data to understand
the relation between urban development and
geological situation
Sapporo City
• Area : 1,121.12 km²
• Population : 1,891,494 people

PEAT SOIL
The peat is a soil like the sponge, and the spaces are larger than sand
and clay. The peat is made from piled up remains of plant that doesn't
corrode enough. When the temperature is low, the speed which
remains of the plant are piled up is faster than that of corrosion.
Permitted urban development
• Developmental activity means altering the zoning,
shape or quality of land to make it available mainly
for the construction of buildings or special structures
• Urban development is done according to the city’s
planning act (i.e., Sapporo)
• Development of areas larger than 1,000m² need
permission of prefectural governors (i.e., Hokkaido)
Basically, almost all development projects are permitted
if they fulfill the regulation of the city's planning Act.

Development
City
(Sapporo)
Urban development in Sapporo has shown a similar tendency as it did
in Japan.
Because urban development projects in Japan are done according to
city’s planning Act, Sapporo’s local government cannot control urban
development when it is, for example, influenced by a bubble economy.

Developments
Geology
As a result of the absence of control,
urban development projects which
were influenced the bubble
economy could expand to areas
with peat soil.
And because there is more chance
of subsidence in peat soil, Sapporo
has become more vulnerable to
earthquakes.
