Mayor Okayama "It can't be said that the migration is strong."= Okayama of AEON Mall = after opening
On the 25th, a February regular Okayama city council continues making a representative interpellation. Both men of hayashijun (Communist Party) and Hiroshi Miyatake (LDP and independent meeting) took up municipalism in general. About the pedestrian migration situation Okayama of AEON Mall (Kita-ku Shimoishii) started Mayor Masao Omori in December of last year, and which is the after city center, "For person's flow from an ion, still, forcing but, I don't have that.", recognition was indicated. Representatives' interpellation ends in this day, and I enter a personal question from the 26th.
Mr. Miyatake corrected the current state of the city center after the said mall opening. A mayor explained "8 times of 1* and a holiday increased in 2 and four times on weekdays compared with the opening front at a peaceful bridge on the prefectural office street, but also the number of pedestrians wasn't changing at an intersection in front of the Okayama Central Post Office (under the said Nakayama)." based on the newsletter value of the traffic count a city did at the city center in January.
I touched that a coming visitor at the said mall reached 3,900,000 people by for 2 months of opening, and "It was a big plus for a citizen, too, but the case that many people have come from a suburb and out the prefecture was one which involves migration but was not. I'd like to put the policy which will give impetus to activation in the center city from now on into effect." was also stated.
For an investigation to check the trend of the pedestrian after the said mall opening and the car according to city Telecommunications Policy Division, it's put into effect on January the 25th and 29th. A pedestrian was 9, and a car was 7, and I measured.

岡山市長「回遊は強いといえず」 =イオンモール岡山 開業後=
2月定例岡山市議会は25日、代表質問を続行。林潤(共産党)、宮武博(自民党・無所属の会)の両氏が市政全般を取り上げた。大森雅夫市長は、昨年12月にイオンモール岡山(北区下石井)が開業して以降の市中心部の歩行者回遊状況について「イオンからの人の流れはまだ強いとはいえない」との認識を示した。代表質問はこの日で終わり、26日から個人質問に入る。
宮武氏が同モール開業後の市中心部の現状をただした。市長は、市が1月に市中心部で行った交通量調査の速報値を基に「県庁通りの平和橋では開業前と比べ、平日は1・8倍、休日は2・4倍に増えた一方、岡山中央郵便局(同中山下)前の交差点では歩行者数が変化していない」と説明した。
同モールの来店客が開業2カ月で390万人に達したことに触れ「市外、県外から多くの人が来ていることは市民にとっても大きなプラスだが、回遊性を伴うものになっているとはいえない。今後、中心市街地の活性化に弾みをつける施策を実施していきたい」とも述べた。
市事業政策課によると、調査は同モール開業後の歩行者や自動車の動向を調べるため、1月25、29日に実施。歩行者は9カ所、自動車は7カ所で計測した。
