This is a report on the lecture given by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on the development of toilets in urban parks, held on June 3, 2026. [Items requested for explanation] ① Article 4 of the Urban Parks Act states that "the ratio of the total building area of ​​buildings established as park facilities in an urban park to the site area of ​​the urban park shall not exceed the ratio stipulated by the ordinance of the local public body that established the urban park, taking into consideration 2 percent. However, in the case of establishing a zoo or other special cases stipulated by Cabinet Order, this may be exceeded within the range stipulated by the ordinance of the local public body that established the urban park, taking into consideration the range stipulated by Cabinet Order." We would like to know the background and purpose of this article, and how it should be applied when local public bodies establish ordinances. ② The purpose and overview of the special provisions for building coverage ratio stipulated in Article 6 of the Enforcement Order of the same Act. Also, what kind of facilities are referred to as "rest facilities" in paragraph 1 of the same article, and is it possible to relax the building coverage ratio by installing benches on the exterior walls of toilets? Similarly, what constitutes a "facility necessary for disaster emergency response"? Do disaster prevention warehouses for neighborhood associations and fire brigades fall under this category? In the case of Itabashi Ward, are there any measures to utilize this provision to allow for the installation of toilets requested by women's groups and other organizations? ③ The intent behind Article 6 of the Enforcement Ordinance, which allows for an increase in the building coverage ratio for facilities installed under the "Public Offering and Management System (Park-PFI)." ④ If there are any examples nationwide of urban parks where toilets have been developed while meeting the requirements of the Urban Parks Act (such as clearing the 2% building coverage ratio requirement) through various innovations, please share them. ⑤ Please explain any standards, guidelines, or recommendations regarding facilities when developing toilets in urban parks, etc. (e.g., installation of separate men's and women's toilets, barrier-free toilets, toilets usable regardless of gender, etc.). ⑥ Your view on the unconstitutionality of relaxing the building coverage ratio to install toilets with certain functions in urban parks, especially small parks. ⑦ Please briefly explain recent efforts to alleviate congestion and queues in women's restrooms.
