The following is to describe some of the principles of analyitcal method developed for this study, which investigates changing conditions of urban land use in Osaka from about the year 1935 to the year 1970. This study found that changes of land use have been affected by the progress of time, and by the enlarging and diminishing of the elements composing this city. Comparing the year 1935 to the year 1970, this study sought to find the interrelationship between the various elements of urban land use, especially analysing how the element of private urban land use, affected over-all urban land use in Osaka. Some results are shown as follows. 1) In Osaka in 1935, the net population density of private urban land use was remarkably high. 2) At the same time, except for the five central wards in Osaka, the ratio of green space was also high. 3) In Osaka after 1970, the net population density of private urban land use has fallen, and there's been a decrease in green space in the outer wards. These changes will greatly influence the civilians actions in daily life. Because of this great influence, it is important that this study continue, keeping abreast with changes in daily life as they happen.
