A Trial analysis to Reveal the Spatial Structure of Municipalities

Analysis targeting Hachioji City, Tokyo

Abstract

In this study, I clarify the spatial structure of Hachioji City, Tokyo by analyzing the town units. As for the spatial structure of Hachioji City, areas with many tertiary industry workers are distributed along the transportation network, and there are areas with many non-tertiary industry workers outside of them. Areas with many tertiary industry workers include areas with an extremely large number of white-collar workers around bases that are characterized as business centers. In addition, areas with many gray-collar workers exist in the vicinity of them. There are few people engaged in the tertiary industry in the outer area, and areas where the declining population, declining birthrate and aging population are becoming more serious.
