Abstract
This paper describes the urban formation structure of 201 densely inhabited districts in Southern Kanto district in 1970. The results with Multivariate Technique are as follows : 1. 5 typical urban formation types unaffected by direction. 2. 7 typical urban formation types affected by direction. 3. The specific directions in Southern Kanto district are 300°〜315°, 135°〜140°, 85°〜110°, 200°〜225°, and 250°〜265°. Parameters affected by the direction in 85°〜110°and 200°〜225°are entropy, area and the share of densely inhabited districts in each municipality. 4. Generally, the formation entropy enlarged by metamorphoses in 5 years between 1965 and 1970.
