  • Designing a Tourism Space in a City Context for Social Sustainability
    The Sustainable City VIII, Vol. 1 165 Urban tourism: designing a tourism space in a city context for social sustainability N. Giriwati, R. Homma & K. Iki Department of Architecture and Environmental Planning, Kumamoto University, Japan Abstract A town, city or urban region has a potential which stems from its own natural form, sense of place, sense of history, spirit and ethos. Nowadays, in addition to the primary demands of life, many urban areas are facing an increasing population and a growing demand or expectation of the city for tourism activity. However, whilst increasing tourism activity is an important economic backbone for certain cities, tourism facilities are responsible for a substantial increase in environment degradation due to tourists’ rising expectation for services and facilities. The structure of this research is first to present the general overview of urban tourism in Kumamoto City through literature. This study will analyze the potentials of Kumamoto City in the creation of urban tourism, with case studies of other cities, to meet the need of integrative urban planning. The aim of this research is to review and evaluate the importance and influence of sustainability of the city through the view of making a tourism space for people. This analysis seeks to illustrate the phenomenon of urban tourism in the scale of a Japanese city. The conclusion discusses the importance of urban tourism in proposing social sustainability, and the potential for development in the current conditions. Keywords: urban tourism, city spaces, social sustainability. 1 Introduction The rapid growth of tourism has become an important economic backbone for certain cities.

Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are, respectively, the last stations on the Shinkansen high speed rail line that starts in Tokyo. The larger and more prosperous of the two urban areas is Fukuoka. The trip to Fukuoka started at Kyoto Station, from which I took the Shinkansen southward to Kitakyushsu, another urban area of more than 1,000,000. Kitakyushu and Fukuoka are barely 30 miles apart, but there is a mountain range Hakata Station Fukuoka 1 and a good deal of open space between the two. It would probably be correct to consider Fukuoka and Kitakyushu a single metropolitan area (labor market).
