Pedestrian Zone
Pedestrian zones (also known as auto-free zones and car-free zones, as pedestrian precincts in British English, and as pedestrian malls in the United States and Australia) are areas of a city or town reserved for pedestrian-only use and in which most or all automobile traffic is prohibited. Converting a street or an area to pedestrian-only use is called ''pedestrianisation''.

However, pedestrianisation can sometimes lead to reductions in business activity, property devaluation, and displacement of economic activity to other areas. In some cases, traffic in surrounding areas may increase, due to displacement, rather than substitution of car traffic. None ...

Chome
The Japanese addressing system is used to identify a specific location in Japan. When written in Japanese characters, addresses start with the largest geographical entity and proceed to the most specific one. When written in Latin characters, addresses follow the convention used by most Western addresses and start with the smallest geographic entity (typically a house number) and proceed to the largest. The Japanese system is complex and idiosyncratic, the product of the natural growth of urban areas, as opposed to the systems used in cities that are laid out as grids and divided into quadrants or districts. Address parts Japanese addresses begin with the largest division of the country, the prefecture. Most of these are called ''ken'' (県), but there are also three other special prefecture designations: ''to'' (都) for Tokyo, ''dō'' (道) for ''Hokkaidō'' and ''fu'' (府) for the two urban prefectures of Osaka and Kyoto. Following the prefecture is the municipality. For ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
