The decline in the use of semi-natural grasslands in Japan and the problem of a lack of management players have led to a need for sustainable maintenance and management measures. Based on the current status and issues of each grassland, it is important to identify items of value for the continued use of current semi-natural grasslands. In this study, a field survey was conducted in the Tomine Kogen in Kamikawa Town, Hyogo Prefecture, in order to clarify the changes in ownership, management, and utilization of the Tomine Kogen from the early Meiji period to the present. The research was carried out from April to November 2022, while belonging to the Tomine Nature Exchange Centre as an intern student, through literature review, data collection, interviews, and action research. Based on the survey results, it became clear that there are four periods in the Tomine Kogen as a community co-managed space for maintenance and utilization. (1) a period when the area was used as a traditional Japanese commons; (2) a period when regional joint use exists; (3) a period when land use declined; And (4) a period when visitor-oriented events were activated. These results are important insights in considering sustainable management and use strategies for the Tonomine Kogen in the future.

In this study, we clarified the composition of green spaces inside and outside the hospital sites and use of rehabilitation and perception of its effects in Hyogo Prefecture. As a results of the questionnaire survey, 86.3% of 109 hospitals had green spaces inside and outside the hospital sites<tt>，</tt>and 87.2% of those green spaces provided opportunities for physiotherapy. It was suggested that there is a psychological effect on rehabilitation in multiple in-site green spaces and a physical effect on rehabilitation in adjacent green spaces. In addition, as a result of analyzing the relationship between use of rehabilitation, DID and composition of green spaces using GIS, most of the hospitals that rehabilitate in the adjacent green spaces were located in urban areas. Analysis of aerial photographs suggested that the number and size of green spaces had an effect on whether or not it was used for rehabilitation.

This study clarified how the relationship between the configuration of the green space on the main street and the intention to use it differs depending on the attributes of the general users of the street, such as age, presence of children, purpose of use, and frequency of use, using the Flower Road in Kobe City as a target. As a result of the study, we were able to categorize the usage behavior on Main Street into three usage groups: "urban active use group," "natural active use group," and "static use group." In addition, the characteristics of different user behaviors by user attribute were clarified, indicating the need for a green space that enhances the willingness of users with different attributes to engage in diverse user behaviors.

<p>The purpose of this paper is to extract Kansei to rain and to derive a conceptual model for designing spaces that incorporate rain as a component. In order to achieve this purpose, we analyzed Instagram posts using a text mining method. First, we analyzed the co-occurrence of nouns and adjectives in all posts mentioning rain. Next, we conducted correspondence analysis to analyze the characteristic words related to rain in each season. Finally, a conceptual model for the spatial design of rain was proposed by adding theoretical considerations. This conceptual model allows us to understand relationship between spatial scales, phenomenon caused by rain, and activities in rain. This model is useful for designing architecture, green spaces, and landscapes that incorporate rain.</p>
