THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN PLANNING THE USE OF FORMER BASE SITES

The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between the fiscal policy of the national government and the property disposal policy and the characteristics of the planned facilities of the national and local governments in the utilization of former U.S. military bases in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The results of the survey revealed that the national government uses the former base site as a site for a wide-area realignment of facilities and the local government uses the site for facilities needed by the community, and that the site continues to be characterized as an abhorrent facility.
