Abstract
This study is to analyze the governing factors using the regression analysis method to conclude that the shortening of the commutation time can con tribute to the population increase of the satellite cities. Population density of satellite cities within the area are closely related to the trip time from the satellite cities to the business center of Tokyo. The population densities of the cities are depicted by using the exponential distribution curve.
The commutation time is one of the most important factors which governs the population distribution curve. However the other factors affect the curve considerlably.This study got desirable consequence by applied regression analysis method.
