daichi 代地 government replacement land
kaechi 替え地 / daigaeshi, daitaichi 代替地 (だいたいち) replacement land
The Edo Bakufu government dedicated areas as daichi to be used for various public purposes.
Many were given to the various districts.
Some 町CHO districts built on this land later were called
Daichimachi 代地町（だいちまち） Daichi-machi.
kaechi 替え地 was land given in exchange to the owner when the land needed to be used for public purposes.
The land was taken from Daimyo yashiki 大名屋敷 estated, temples and shrines. Sometimes even the houses of normal citizens were taken and land given in exchange elsewhere.
Most often land was to be used as hiyokechi 火除地 fire barrier zones.
