Abstract
Our research aims to evaluate quantitatively how the land use policy or public transport policy, which are considered to environment, will economically affect an urban area, in the case of the Sendai metropolitan area. A character of the research is as follows. First, we analyze a transport policy by zone unit. Second, we calculate many indices (e.g. land prices, gross production, and utility) for policy evaluation by integrated model which include transport, environment, economic sector. We use an approach of general equilibrium model, because there are limitations on economic statistic data in zone.
As a result, it is found that introducing the transport policy leads positive effect with enlarging convenience of household. And this model is possible to work with a transport model with simple operation. So it enables to transfer this model to another region which has a transport model. Our model could calculate a regional economic activity with transport model from the installation of transport policy.
