Abstract
This report proposes a planning method to select the optimum land use of suburban area according to requirements of cities and also the country sides. So we take the common scale between urban and rural district indicating regional transformation. The scale consists of 'urbanization' indexes such as increasing rate of population (from 1965 to 1970), persons per household, ratio of aged population, farm household ratio, full-time farm household ratio to all, increasing rate of farm household, increasing rate size of cultivated land per farm household, conversion ratio of farm land to non-farm uses. agricultural productivity of land. The planning process is as follows; 1 Regional classification by the 'urbanization' indexes, 2 Zoning by the assessment of the indexes, 3 Selection of the optimum land use.
