A STUDY ON THE MODEL SYSTEM EALUATING POLICIES OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

We have developed the model system to express how the various policies of transportation, land use, and quality of life influence on the urban activities. The model system will be able to evaluate quantitatively the effects on environmental load, quality of life, and economics through the changes in urban activities.
In this study, first of all, we would like to place our developed model system in relation to the existed land use - transportation models, and then to show our system's characteristics. Secondly, we will introduce the evaluation results on the case study in Sendai Metropolitan Area. Finally, we will show further issues and deployment of our study about the model system.
