POTENTIAL OF LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES:A POSSIBILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?57that they would lose the freedom to do what they likedwith their own homes.In 1983, a group of young people in the town who sawthe importance of Kawagoe’s historical remains startedan NPO called Kawagoe Kura No Kai (KawagoeRevitalization Association). The association initiatedvarious activities to raise greater understanding andpride in the town’s heritage. Later, after localdevelopment policy meant that the town’s businessheart moved location, the Ichiban-gai area went into adeep decline. Kawakoe Kura No Kai began worksidentifying Kawakoe’s special and unique features. Itconcluded that these were located in the town’shistory; in its architecture and in the way of life of itsartisanal craftspeople who produced superior food,knives and other products, and who had closerelationships with their customers.Kawagoe eventually achieved conservation status andsuccess due to community leaders who, with academicassistance, fostered awareness of the national culturalsignificance of its buildings. Success was also the resultof community involvement in making decisions aboutthe town and how people wished to live. For example,it became policy that new road construction andparking lots had to be outside of the conservation area.Inside the conservation area, only small roads wereallowed, for easy walking and for the safety of elderlypeople and children. A decision was made thatartisanal homes and shops would be combined. Acommunity center and public parks were established.Big businesses were prevented from setting up in theconservation area so that small local businesses couldcontinue to thrive. Townspeople were able to preventthe construction of a high-rise condo, whichthreatened to destroy the atmosphere of the historicaltown. They pressured the Kawagoe council to buyback the land and develop it into a public space toimprove local and visitor quality of life.As residents began to take care of their old buildingsand revive old lifestyles, tourism became the town’smain source of income. Today, Kawagoe has beennamed a Traditional Architectures PreservationDistrict under the Protection of Culture Properties 3 .Ichiban-gai Market Street is crowded with tourists on weekends.Photos: Weerawut KangwannavakulThe Work of the 2010/2011 API Fellows
