樋口 明彦, Ongagawa River Riverfront Landscape Improvement Project: From Concrete-Walled Drainage Channel to Friendly Public Open Space, IFLA, 2012.08, Nohgata Riverside Park of Ongagawa River is one of a few contemporary examples in Japan that has successfully improved the riverfront from a drainage channel to a friendly public open space. In 2004, the author and his graduate students were asked by MLIT to prepare an alternative plan for OngagawaRiver’s riverfront in the central area of Nohgata.After a series of intensive discussionwitha concerned local citizen group, the team prepared a design plan to balance the flood control and the creation of organic open space. Following the plan, the west side shoulder of the flat high-water channel was cut down to make a gentle slope connecting the downtown Nohgata and the water both physically and psychologically. The east side one was also lowered with newly built stonewalled terraces. After the dramatic change of the landscape, the number of visitors of this riverfront has increased significantly and the level of flood control has also been improved.. |
