Analysis on Urban Land Use Structure in Manhattan

Abstract

THIS STUDY IS CONCERNED WITH SOME MATHEMATICAL ANALYSES ON LAND USE STRUCTURE IN MANHATTAN. THE ANALYSES ARE DONE BY USE OF NUMEROUS POINT SAMPLING LAND USE DATA WHICH WERE MADE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR STUDY. THE DATA SAMPLING POINT WAS SET AT EVERY 25M GRID POINTS IN MANHATTAN (THE NUMBER OF THE POINTS IS ABOUT A HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND). WE CALCULATE SOME INDICES ON DISTRIBUTIONS OF EACH LAND USE COMPONENT, AND COMPARE THE SATES OF LAND USE OF MANHATTAN AND TOKYO.
