Four master plans made by the Japan Housing Corporation are much changed. Some of major factors which made them changed were actual conditions of the site; the boundary of developing area, the attainment of land acquisition and the method of development. In Tsukuba, 80% of 1800ha, of the land acquired was used for the research and educational institutions, the land acquisition was so important that the boundary and the method were arranged for the purpose of its attainment. Master plan must be transformed according to these evolving factors, but act on them guiding to log-ranged goal of the development.

One of the goals of Osaka Master Plan, 1967, is a multiple nuclei concept. Two new sub-business centers, i.e. Shin-Osaka and Benten-cho, have been proposed. In this study, the author made estimation of these centers’ share of floor space, number of establishment and number of job.

During the last cenrty, the urban structure of the inner area of Tokyo, which consists ofarterial streets, railways and subways, has been increasingly constructed. This structure has brought nodal areas at the places in which more than two railways meet. In these areas, a various kinds of enterprise and organizations has been spatially accumulated, these noral areas are related to each other and forms a system of links between center and sub-centers.

Recently, there has been increasing discussion on the necessity and direction of urban renewal in great cities, especially in the ward area of Tokyo. It can be said that such discussion many activate the movement of urban area improvement, whether by public private, in the district scale. On these backgrounds, we study how much the methods of District Area Improvement project could make effect on ward area of Tokyo, according to projects’ results, types of urban area and so on, make and approach toward the subjects of the age of “housing and urban area renewal”, which will surly come in near future.

The purpose of this paper is to make clear the relation between population structure and special structure of inhabitation in a local city and its change. For that purpose we researched Matsuzaka city. As a result we consider the inhabitation in residential districts of this city can be classified in 4 types, and each type have its typical subject for environmental unit and order.

The object of the study is twofold: one is to provide a rational basis for a rural center plan for the Hokkaido region in conjucition with the simultaneous restructuring of urban growth in region. That is the ultimate function of the study ws well; the second object, the immediate object of the study, was make explicit the implicit conditions of urban services and utilities for everyday life at rural centres. For this purpose a number of factors were introduced to conclude both the integration grades and locations of the rural centre facilities fitting for use.

The most recent activities around the waterfront are construction of Marine City for the present needs of the city. But is a doubt the Marine City with mixture of facilities including harbor and city function is suitable for the residential demand. So this study tries to evaluate the facilities of living on Marine City by the questionnaire at Port Island in Kobe and the Nanko Development in Osaka.

This report is to examine the regional conditions for the location of Research and Developmental functions, clarifying the differences of local characteristics that exist between Research and Development functions and Production funcitons.

Through the survey, 2axis of evaluation are abstracted. One represent the daily convenience at the neighborhood and another express the strength of mental relationship between the area and the inhabitant. The former can be described simply by the location of the area but the latter, which is more important for the community planning, is concerned with human relations at their neighbourhood. So, the size of housing development should be restricted and several different types of development should be mixed in each area, and non-physical planning is very important to make up the settled community.

It is the purpose of this paper to clarify the some aspects of mixed land use in physical distribution facilities accumulation area of Tokyo-ku area. Through the survey of typical districts, it is to analyze on this condition and their transition process. By the physical distribution land increase or decrease and the industrial land decrease, the mixed land use is getting more aggravated. So we consider the coexistence of physical distribution facility and other land use.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the management intention of the Wooden Apartment Managers in Down Town of Yokohama city, and get the important informations to the urban renewal for the future. From the results of questionnaires set out at nine typical areas, the following becomes clear: (1) There is a strong possibility of renewal in twenty percent of the Wooden Apartments in the immediate future. (2) Wooden Apartment Managers can be classified into two types in large; a) Management type b) preservation of wealth type

The aim of this article is to clarify the possibilities of housing and environmental improvement at the high-density built-up areas in Tokyo-kubu based on the outputs of last two years. In order to estimate the drastic change of residential environment, studies are composed of two parts. At the city and ward level. Housing demand and its meaning for the district are forecasted, and at the district level, relations between housing reconstruction and lot conditions are analysed. After that, the indices for grouping of treatment types are reestimated, especially from the possibilities view, then, direction of improvement is indicated.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze that land divides into smaller parts in Urban Area. Through that case study of two typical A and B areas, the results are as follows; 1) The former is 29 lots have divided into 172 lots and the later is 69 lots have divided into 131 lots. 2) The two typical areas have each character on landuse, and on landuse process of separating into subdivisions.

The aim of this study is finding the critical gradient of housing plot, for the purpose of defining the area of settlement in Jomon-preriod. In this paper, we find the relation between the gradient of site and housing location; tanθ>1/4・・・few or no house, 1/4≧tanθ≧1/6・・・a few house, 1/6>tanθ・・・suitable for housing.

“Jinaicho” is a general term for moated towns founded by the devotees of the Jodo-shinshu, a sect of the Buddhism, at the end of the medieval times. This study restores the 18th century’s town plan of the Ishinden-Jinaicho, Mie Prefecture, which was built around the Senju-ji, the head temple of the Takada-order in the Jodo-shinshu, and explains the characteristics of its spatial pattern typologically in comparison with five other jinaichos in the neighboring prefectures.

The aim of this paper is to bring the treatment of the private road which was in the public interest to light by deciphering the archives in the first term of Meiji era. The rule of Teinairojji which was set up within the grounds of Daimyo and so on to bring land under development was that it had to be opened in above three kens wide and if it was above three kens wide, it was able to be raised as public road in 1934. In 1940 Teinairoji which was in the public interest could be exempted from taxation. By the description on the archives about these factors, it was found that the rules of the private road’s width lapsed and the concept of the public interest in the rules was confused.

Both the initial Road Law and the initial City Planning Law were approved in 1919 This paper is a historical study on the legislation work for the Road Law between 1890 to 1919. The content are as follows. (1) In the 1910’s technical standards of the road bill, access road was excluded from the investigation. Before 1910 however, many ideas were discussed. (2) The minimum width of access road was provided 2.7m(9shaku) in 1919 directly as the building ordinance of those days had provided. Later it brought about many problems.

This is a historical analysis of the institutionalizing process of Japanese housing policy and the inter-relationship between the housing policy and the planning policy. The paper traces the initial stage of the policy making process in the Urban Planning Committee and the Social Works Committee which were both organized in 1918 and concludes the absence of the local detailed plan concept.

This paper tries the clarify the formative process of the City Planning Act of 1919, by identifying a series of the drafts of the City Planning Bill discussed and amended in 1918 by the meetings of the City Planning Investigation Commission, the most crucial organ of the Home Ministry. The author traces the changing dafts by sections and concludes the Act succeeded in providing a variety of implementation tools but failed in institutionalizing the concept of the general plan, thus inheriting the old tradition of heavy emphasis on public works of the Tokyo Municipal Improvement Ordinance of 1888.

Government-General of Chosen enacted the Urban Planning Law of Korea in 1934. This law stipulated land readjustment (kukaku-seiri) which chiefly aimed at development of suburban area. Project executor was expected to be head of municipalities as an organ of the state. After independence the Korean government took over the Urban Planning Law under the Japanese Rule and land readjustment. Land readjustment projects have been executed till now.

This study tries to find out the characteristics of the location and the style of non-permanent foreign residents’ housing in Tokyo metropolitan wards (TMW), except for Korean and Chinese permanent residents. The findings are as follows and son on, ie; 1) Intensive housing area by foreign residents has been formed in the central parts of TMW and is gradually expanding to the south-western parts, while the eastern parts are scattered. 2) The style of housing can be classified into three types, scattered-mix houses type, collective houses type and collective flats type.

To analize characteristics and set grouping of municipal units in rural area are the first two essential steps of rural planning. In this paper, I try to analize and a grouping them by means of principal component analysis and cluster analysis. I use the variables of land use, agriculture, dependence on urban areas. Six typical patterns are drawn out. The area is divided first by natural conditions, and next by human factors. It is divided independently on municipal boundaries.

This study is the authors’ second article concerning Balinese traditional villages in Indonesia. This study analyzes the typology of Balinese traditional villages through the axis of village and houseyard, choosing 15 villages as cases and also analyzes the modernizing process through the location of facilities. The authors argue based on the analysis, the necessity of the understanding about spatial concept in the development in such a region.

This study aims to make some considerations on the preservation of historical areas in the cities of less developed countries. Through a case study of the Javanese old towns in Indonesia, this paper shows the present condition of historical environment under the rapid modernization of a country and analyzes its changing process through traditional styled houses.

The structure of a household auto ownership and its usage is empirically analyzed in relation to the Life Cycle Stage (L.C.S) of the household, using the survey data in Kyoto City. The 8 categories of the L.C.S. are classified and applied to test the validity to explain the daily travel / activity pattern of a household members. The shift of auto ownership for the last 10 years is plotted on the figure for each L.C.S. groups. It is shown that the L.C.S. and auto ownership can be dynamically related. The home-based cycle of auto is analyzed to classify auto usage patterns. The 4 major patterns based on the travel purpose are examined for L.C.S. groups.

This study examines the temporal and regional stability of individual travel behavior using 1971 and 1982 person trip survey data in Okayama Area and 1980 data in Matsuyama Area. The statistical analysis is done for five different travel patterns including trip rate, number of trip chain, number of sojourn, daily travel time and trip pattern. The log-linear model analysis is employed to investigate the interaction between travel patterns and socio-demographic variables. The result shows that most of travel patterns are stable over time and between regions.

The purpose of this paper is to show how people would find the route to the refuge in case of a strong earthquake. The participants in our experiments have no information without the direction and the approximate distance to the goal. In the irregular road pattern area. We found that the angle between the road and direction to the goal is one of the most important factors. Using this result, we want to try to make a refuge simulation modl.

The paper compares two types of level-of service (LOS) measurements: those provided by the standard network algorithms are compared with LOS components reported in the interview. Statistical tests show that the two types of measurements are different. Disaggregate mode choice models for works trips are developed by using the two types of data. The goodness-of fit indicators show that those developed by reported LOS measurements are superior to the network-based models. However, aggregation at the interzonal level shows that these is no difference in estimation accuracy between them.

Recently, the development of recreational area is expected to activate regional economy. The purpose of this paper is to improve demand forecasting method for recreation trips. We examine the demand forecasting method with the supply-function, and estimate the number of visitors to the recreational area by the equilibrium analysis.

Nowadays, most of cities in Japan are faced with parking problem, however, it is difficult to find out efficient countermeasures. To release the problem, drivers’ opinion about parking has to be taken into consideration. In this study, a questionnaire for curbside parking drivers was carried out to know the reasons why they did not use off-street parking facilities and so on. Considering the results of the analysis, the research points out reasonable countermeasures for curbside parking in Osaka CBD.

A new method for the identification of multiattribute utility functions is applied to the priority rating of urban roads for improvement. In the past research, Keeney.Raiffa’s method was used for this priority rating problem. However, this method has several weak points. So we applied a new method, by which multiattribute utility function is estimated from the comparison of road sections. By the new method, preferable utility functions were estimated with easy works of decision-maker.

In recent years, residential traffic restraint method has been applied in planning of neighbourhood road systems, which is to reduce the maximum car speed and decrease the car traffic in residential areas. This plan is aimed at increasing safety and more comfortable life maintaining convenient car use for residents. This paper analyses residents’ sense of satisfaction with the road environment, safety in using roads, and convenience of car accessibility, and developes the evaluation methods of neighbourhood road environment from these viewpoints.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how roadside residents appreciate the road from viewpoints of safety, convenience, amenity and environment. By means of literature, field and interview surveys according to the model about the appreciation of road, many informations about relations between estimation of each viewpoint and characteristics of road and resident were obtained.

The purpose of this study is to make clear the feeling change of inhabitants around the urban highway project. We investigated the feeling of the inhabitants at three stages of the project. They are the time of planning, the time of negotiations between the inhabitants and the administrations and the public corporation, the time of the constructions. And we have made found fifteen patterns of feeling change of inhabitants. Also, we have made clear the characteristics off the feeling of inhabitants classified by pros and cons to the project.

This paper presents the effectiveness of stated preference (SP) data. We compared SP data and revealed preference (RP) data by using three methods. Our Experience was as follows. First of all, at the macro level SP data found overstated the use of the new subway than RP data. Secondly at individual level 70-80% of person’s SP data coincided with RP data. Thirdly where choice context became radically different by a transport project. The models based on SP data were found better than the models based on RP data in predicting future travel behavior.

The objective of this paper is to show a method for analyzing hierarchy of a road network based upon a stochastic model. First, some indices for evaluating hierarchy are proposed. Second, four kinds of stochastic hierarchy network models are formulated. Third, the value of those indices that is expected under each model is obtained. Last the validity of this method is examined in an actual road network.

In this paper, we discuss the role of a circular part of radial-circular networks. To simplify the problem, we consider two radial lines which intersects at a center by angle theta, and a circular arc which connects the two lines and has radius r from the center. Assuming that the activity densities along the radial lines are given, we can calculate the functions of the circular arc which has r and theta. From these calculations, some useful results have been obtained.

Mesh data system is convenient for density gradient analysis as we can obtain many samples even in small cities. However, there is a difficult problem in specifying sample region since the value of density gradient estimater depends on the range of sample region. This paper proposes a way how to decide the range through statistical study of log linear estimaters. Gradient densities of 10 cities and 3 periods are estimated in this way.

In this study, we developed the models of building renewal and residential mobility in the built up Area, and carried out a case study using this model for improvement planning in blighted area. Process of the case study is summarized as follows, (1) classification of districts and setting of the case study area, (2) selection of the districts where prior improvement should be made in the case study area, (3) simulation analysis for alternative improvement patterns. As the results, the models showed good fitness and basic information for improvement planning are obtained through the case study.

Many problems in two-dimentional location analysis can be formulated as optimally dividing a given region into several subregions. This paper deals with two partitioning problems; one of them is to minimize the sum of Euclidean distances under the condition that the capacities of each facility are restricted, and the other one is to minimize the maximum distances between existing facilities and fixed demand locations assigned to them. These optimal partitioning models are applied to the school boundary problem.

The objective of this paper is to formulate the location-allocation problem of facilities, such as bridges, railroad crossings and staircases. The trips involve contain the two locations corresponding to each facility. The problem is solved by the use of Recti-Linear Voronoi diagram. The first part shows the formulation and the solution of this problem. The second part demonstrates the two fundamental relationships between the number of bridges and the total distance to go aroud, and that between the number of bridges and the total trips to go around.

This paper attempts to analyze effects of mesh size observed in the analyses of spatial interactivities using urban mesh data. When we consider a variable defined in continuous urban space and a corresponding variable which si measured in each mesh, a formula suggests that the mesh-size effects can be measured as a filter on the spectrum of the variable is deduced. Through numerical studies on the actual urban mesh data, it is shown the effect theoretically estimated accords with actual value.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamics of age distribution in suburban communities of metropolitan area in terms of housing statuses. Family cycle model is built to explain the relation between age distribution and housing statuses. It is concluded that there are 5 types as to the dynamics of age distribution among 75 districts in Tokyo area, and these types are related to the housing statuses. It is also concluded that there is the difference of dynamics of age distribution between the suburban communities in the same district in relation to the housing statuses.

The purpose of this study is to examine the spatial distribution of household attributes and their changes in the Nagoya metropolitan area. The paper first overviews the natural and social changes of population in the area. Secondly, the generation and geographical patterns of migration are analysed in relation to life-cycle of households. Thirdly, the relationship between household attributes and their preferences of dwelling types are examined. Finally, the spatial distribution of household attributes is discussed considering the above factors.

There are many types of offices in an urban area, and each of them has its own locational preference. In this study, the diversity of locational preferences among these offices is analysed using the data of questionnaire survey executed in the Osaka City. Various types of offices are classified into seven groups, and the locational preference of each group is clarified by estimating the relative weight of each locational preference factor using a statistical method. the future direction of infrastructure planning in Osaka City is also discussed on the basis of these analyses.

In this paper, we discuss the transition of distribution pattern of population densities of urban area by the data of urban blocks of Sapporo city, 1975-1980. We obtain the relation between the distribution of population densities and the distance from center of urban area.

Chiyoda-ku which is included in the C.B.D. of Tokyo can divided into SHITAMACHI (the business and commercial area) and YAMANOTE (the residential area). In SHITAMACHI the old residents who do business on their own account for a long time and have land and house of their own, expand their residential space and create the rental office floor through rebuilding. On the other hand, the old residents who are leaseholders or tenants are made to outmigrate by trading leasehold between landowner and developer. In YAMANOTE condominiums are supplied by the equivalent exchange system of real estate in many cases, and that brings about the population increase.

This study relates to the location analysis of business facilities. In this study, we analyzid locational factors for the business facilities in the central business district and tires to make model concerning locational behavior using improved multiattribute utility functions. At first time we devided the central business district into several sections like meshes at three hundred meters, then we calculated the evaluation values of these every sections by use of that model. Moreover we estimated the volume of business facilities in accordance with that evaluation. In case of Sapporo we obtained a high acculate result by the estimation based on that model.

An exploratory method was developed to summarize a pattern of two dimensional distribution of houses in a certain area applying Exploratory Data Analysis. The method gives the boxplots which show direction, directivity, extent, and the center of the distribution of the housing lands. The application of the method to the suburbs of Tsuchiura city indicated the usefulness of it in the visual understanding and the analysis of the mixing processes.

The aim of this paper is to propose the method to decide the optimal distance between residential location and urban facility, and to consider the distance itself. The stochastic method is taken here when the distance is decided. The relation between the distance and the percentage of people who are satisfied with the location of facility can be explained. And the proper distance can be proposed.
