多拠点居住者の居住地選好と拠点間の関係―東京・横浜・川崎在住者を対象として―

抄録

This study examines the residential preferences of multi-habitation practitioners and the relationships between their locations from a geographical perspective. Moreover, it intends to elucidate the specific attributes and objectives of people who practice multi-habitation. The multi-habitation practitioners were primarily office workers aged 30–60 years and belonging to the upper-middle class. They could be broadly divided into two groups: those whose bases were located close to and those whose bases were far apart from one another. In the former case, frequent movement occurs between bases and is primarily used for daily life activities like telecommuting, commuting, and remote work. In the latter case, less travel occurs between locations. While one base location is used for daily life, another is used for hobbies, cleaning and organizing, and caregiving, among others. This clarifies the differences in the use of each location.
