In order to ensure the safety and security of users of parks and roads, Osaka City has been implementing a safety project involving park and street trees from FY2018 to FY2024, and plans are to cut down about 19,000 tall trees in those 7 years. The current paper uses publicly available project data from FY2023 and information obtained through field observations to explain the details of this project. This paper then notes the issues with this project from four perspectives: tree cutting standards, the state of replanting, the effects of the project, and public awareness. Next, this paper analyzes tree management data from Osaka City for the period from FY2017 to FY2021, which includes both the normal maintenance of park trees and street trees and the safety project. Results revealed that pruning costs accounted for about 70% of tree management costs, that the number of trees pruned and the pruning area decrease if annual pruning costs are constant, that less than 20% of trees that were cut down were replaced with tall trees in either normal maintenance or the safety project, that the number of tall trees decreased by about 16,000 trees in 5 years since FY2017 as a consequence (this does not include the clearing of trees toppled by Typhoon Jebi in 2018), and that tall trees, if they are replaced, are replaced with smaller trees. Based on these findings, proposed improvements to the management of park trees and street trees in Osaka City include: having an arborist diagnose the health of trees and respecting his or her findings, clearly stating the cutting criteria, reducing cutting due to root growth to the extent possible, stopping the cutting of healthy Himalayan cedars and Abelia shrubs, properly pruning street trees, increasing the rate of replacement of tall trees when tall trees are cut down, improving the information given to the public and the way in which they are informed, publishing data such as the number of tall trees, adopting canopy cover as an index, and explaining the secondary aim of the safety project.

Actual conditions of PMO operations in Osaka Castle Park: Focusing on budgetary problems Reviewed

Policy and Practice Studies 8 ( 1 ) 29 - 36 2022.6
Osaka Castle Park is a famous tourist destination, as well as a valuable place for Osaka residents to enjoy recreation and relaxation in a city with little greenery. In order to provide services and generate new attractiveness suited to an international hub of history tourism, PMO operations were adopted at Osaka Castle Park in fiscal year 2015 (FY2015), and since then, various commercial facilities have been built in Osaka Castle Park. Osaka City has stated that adoption of PMO operations improved the FY2019 budget balance by about 200 million yen compared to FY2014 prior to adoption of PMO operations. This research verifies whether there actually was a roughly 200 million yen improvement in the budget balance at Osaka Castle Park due to adoption of PMO operations. First of all, the results showed that, even after Osaka City adopted PMO operations, it bore and still bearing various construction costs including for improvement and repair of playground equipment, paths, and fall prevention fencing. It was found that this type of construction costs were included in the FY2014 budget prior to adoption of PMO operations, but not included in budgets from FY2015 after adoption of PMO operations, i.e., that the budget improvement of about 200 million yen was a result of comparing two budgets with different standards. It was also found that, due to the effects of Osaka City bearing typhoon damage recovery costs and costs for the Ishigaki Stone Wall exhibition project, as well as compensating the PMO operator for losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the budget total, including various construction costs from FY2015 when PMO operations were adopted to FY2020, is running a deficit of about 190 million yen. Therefore, in parks where PMO operations have been adopted, it is necessary to conduct correct evaluations using numerical values based on common standards and utilize the results in park policies from the perspective of improving the value of public assets.
