街道や河川を介して物資や旅人の行き交いが行われていた時代、公共の道空間では商売や祭りが行われ人々はその道空間の豊かさの中に暮らしていた。産業を支える動線がモビリティの進化により鉄道や車道といった産業スケールの道に変わる中で道行の文化は失われてきていると感じる。今こそ地域の連関と切り離され計画された廃線を人々の集うマチの中心として再生する地域資産としての活用が必要なのではないだろうか。敷地である奈良県五條市には戦時中の資材不足や工事中断が重なったことで未開通に終わり今も各地に遺構が残る五新鉄道計画がある。五新鉄道跡が都市同士をつなぐ産業スケールからかつての街道のような地域スケールの界隈を生む空間として再編されることで、人々の集う拠り所へと返還される提案
In the days when goods and travelers came and went via highways and rivers, business and festivals were held in public way spaces, and people lived in the richness of these spaces. As the lines of flow that support industry have been replaced by industrial-scale roads such as railroads and roadways due to the evolution of mobility, I feel that the culture of the road has been lost. Now is the time to utilize abandoned railways, which were planned to be disconnected from the local community, as local assets to revitalize them as the center of a town where people gather. In Gojo City, Nara Prefecture, where the site is located, there is the Goshin Railway Project, which never opened due to a combination of wartime material shortages and construction stoppages, and the remains of which can still be seen in various locations. By reorganizing the Goshin Railway site from an industrial scale connecting cities to a regional scale neighborhood like a former highway, it is proposed that the site be returned to a place where people can gather.
