都市政策によるCO₂削減効果と持続可能性評価のための土地利用交通モデル

抄録

Urban policies towards compact cities and modal shift are considered as important mitigation measures for global warming. They are estimated to have a substantial impact on CO₂ emission reduction from urban activities, which is derived by the change of behavior of urban entities like households and firms. This means the urban mitigation policies would affect on the level of happiness or quality of life of dwellers as well. The impact of urban policies, therefore, should be assessed regarding both CO₂ emission and sustainability.
This study presents the applicability of a land use-transport model for the urban mitigation policy assessment. First, we develop a model in which the behavior of urban entities like location choice/ daily trips of households and firms are explicitly formulated. Second, this model is applied to two urban policies, road pricing and land use control, to assess the long term impact on CO₂ emission and sustainability. As a result, the developed model is verified, under assumed conditions, to have capacity for the assessment of urban policies regarding CO₂ emission and sustainability consistently.
