Abstract
In this chapter, we analyze the effectiveness of multimedia in participation over the Internet through online deliberation for reviewing plans of the ecological network district in downtown Kanazawa City. In order to improve the understanding of stakeholders with respect to the planning concepts for reaching a consensus, we attempt to support planners in presenting their planning concepts during virtual meetings using web-based multimedia materials. In this case study, we focus on planning considerations for a natural environment and an urban environment in a green corridor, which incorporates a boulevard (Hirosaka Boulevard) and a traditional irrigation channel. This green corridor, which connects Kenroku Mountain and Central Park in Kanazawa City, is an important part of the ecological network in the city and contributes to the realization of the eco-city on the urban district level.
