It is indispensable for us to recognize how the residents in the urban area evaluate the environmental quality in their residences, in order to consider the environmental policy in the long perspective with respect to the population growth and economic growth versus the change of environmental quality.
This approach is based on the Bid-Rent Theory fundamentally since Alonso developed it several decades ago, and is along the researches made by Anas, Wheaton and Galster. They had developed their empirical researches on the econometric model which is a variation of the bid rent function.
In our researches, the following points are made clear:
(1) We checked the condition of sign of the parameters theoretically.
(2) Though we used the data of the researches, which had been done by the Ministry of Construction, the data is not necessarily sufficient for us in terms of the items of questionnaire. But based on these limitation of the data base, the empirical results of the approach show that the estimation is preferably good.
(3) We checked the meaning of the parameters of the various kinds quality of the environmental, which are not yet done by the oher researches.
(4) Therefore, although it is necessary for us to do the researches more in detail succeedingly, from the view point of the environmental policy, it is very important to advance the environmental conservation in the residential area formation process compared with the former ages.
