    The purpose of the study is to clarify the components of "Visual unity" of building colors. In the central business areas of Osaka city, subjects drew sketches of places where they felt color unity, and described the reason why they chose the places. Results from experimentations are led by analyzing qualitative characteristics of subjects' descriptions. Color factors which affect "visual unity" are classified into nine categories; likeness, assimilation, effect of building shapes, disposition, contrast, passion, evaluation, harmony, and association. The same procedures were taken to analyze "Visual disorder", and also derived nine categories from color factors.

    Den'enchofu is famous as a planning example of suburban residential developments by Den'en-toshi Co. It has the radial-circular road system, but its original idea plan was changed for many reasons. First, the road system failed to make an axis clear because of the unsuccessful land purchases. Second, Tokyo City planned a new road (Kanpachi-dori), and it seems to have caused the division of the area. Moreover, the difference in administrative areas has had much more effect on the residents. Third, the land use agreements in the original contact between the company and the purchasers were violated by the succeeding company. Den'enchofu-kai, a self-governing residential organization made much effort to save the environment. On the whole, the idea of Den'en-toshi Co. has been half realized.

    In conjunction with the Reconstruction Program in Tokyo after Kanto Earthquake, a pipe subway network system was projected an designed underground in Tokyo to prevent frequent pavement-breaking excavation which was then necessary for the maintenance of city utilities. The original plan aimed at laying pipes in the subway system totaling to 97 kilometers long. In response to the request for budget amendment from the Seiyukai members in the Diet, the government cut the budge by 20%. Thus, the pipe subway plan was scaled down to 35 kilometers. I clarified the process of such failure in the Reconstruction Program and the pipe subway plan.

    Transportation impact assessment for large-scale development project has recently become a requirement. Such assessment has to make some important considerations: accumulation effects of projects in a certain area, characteristics of transportation activities and appropriateness of the trip generation rate. This paper analyzes the effects of the above factors on the transportation demand forecast for the Tokyo Waterfront Subcenter. The finding are: 1) Accumulation of such projects changes modal split. 2) Transportation impact is not only limited to the project area but goes beyond the project boundaries. 3) Transportation impact may be underestimated depending on the chosen trip generation rate.

    This study aims to develop a theoretical consumer behavioral model in shopping and to apply it to explain the choice of shopping center and money flow from the consumer to retailer. The approach in this paper is based on the utility maximization theory and a gravity-type model is developed as a shopping behavioral model. In the case study, shopping behavior is divided into several groups based on the type of goods. The attractiveness of a shopping center is explained by indexes of retailing and transport service. Also, money flow is explained in each of the shopping behavior groups.

    Traffic information is necessary to keep a state of smooth and comfortable traffic. In this paper, the most suitable place where the traffic closure information is given to derivers has been made clear with transportation behavior of drivers, duration time of traffic closure and traffic volume. The effects to offer the traffic closure information has been estimated by the difference between the loss due to waiting and making detours. In this study, we obtain the results that duration time and traffic volume effect the decision of the most suitable place for traffic closure information by computer simulations using artificial data.

    In this research, we aimed at developing a survey method to collect micro data in order to analyze spatial information flows. Two types of survey were conducted for the manufactures in Miyagiken area. First, the comparison of two data sets shows no data sets shows no distinct discrepancy in the rate of recording and misrecording contacts between two methods. Therefore, the efficiency of the mail survey is affirmed to collect contact data at practical level. Second, the analysis of purposes of contacts on the mail survey data shows the effective indices of information flows as 'To give an order'/'Meeting' in case of outgoing contact and 'To receive an order'/'Meeting' in case of incoming contact. It is recognized that the rational survey method to collect micro data of information flows, through face-to-face contacts, was well established from the empirical analysis in this investigation.

    Realizing the ultimate convenience for both users and service providers in Regional Facilities Location Planning is desired. This paper is to suggest a new solution of the Facilities Location Problem on Discrete Demand Distribution using the Competitive Learning Method of neural networks. By this method, no more data conversion such as mesh is needed, the original discrete data of demand distribution is input and processed. Thus, no information loss and errors occurs, and it enables more detailed planning which corresponds to the real demand distribution. Also in this paper, the superiority of the Competitive Learning Method as k-means algorithm is experimentally proved. Finally, the effectiveness of the suggested method is confirmed by the application study on a ideal facilities location problem in Meguro ward.

    Applying the theory of monopolistic competition, this study aims at evaluating the economic effects of a redevelopment project carried out for a sorounding area of Toyohashi station in Aichi prefecture. Economic activities examined in the study are commercial activities. Although the study assumes neither construction of new stores nor a significant time shortening effect on the traffic between the station front and back districts, it is concluded that commercial sales and profits in the front district would more grow by the project while decline in the back district. These effects are also examined in terms of household utility showing that the commercial development in the front area would result in a decrease in household utility caused by a sacrifice of a variety of household consumption.

    In this paper, we discuss two kinds of flows which are centralized flow and uniform flow in an urban area. Centralized flow is the set of flows whose origin or destination points are on the center of the area. Uniform flow is the set of flows whose origin and destination points are distributed uniformly in the area. Finally, we are able to estimate the ratio of centralized flow to uniform flow which indicates the degree of concentration in the urban area.

    In this paper, a random matching model is elaborated o characterize bi-lateral interregional human contacts. The bi-lateral contacts can realize only when both parties agree to meet each other. Thus, mutual agreement is the core of our contacts modeling. Spatial distributions of bi-lateral contacts can be described as results of rondom matching by potential meeting partners. The failure in agreement in meeting is the major source of inefficiency in human contacts among cities/regions. The paper provides the random matching model to describe the generation mechanism of the inter-city human contacts.

    The formulae to estimate the length of roads in an arbitrary region are to be concerned in this paper. First, we introduce the formula which Koshizuka derived by use of integral geometry. It implies that the length is proportional to the square root of the area of the region multiplied by the number of crossings. Koshizuka's formula is theoretically elegant and easy to use. However, it has been considered to be applicable only if the region is convex. The objective of this study is to argue that Koshizuka's formula is applicable even if the region is non-convex and non-connected. To do so, we introduce the thickness function in geometric probability.

    In the present paper, we propose an analytical method to calculate the amount of reduced time caused by speedways for all trips in a given area. Since a trip consists of a departure point and an arrival point in two dimensional space, we can determine the amount of reduced time by putting a trip at a point in four dimensional space. So we are able to calculate the amount of reduced time by multiple integral, developing an algorithm to divide integral regions in four dimensional space which is too complicated to compute on paper.

    In 1992 the City Planning Law in Japan was amended so that local governments should adopt master plan, but it has never defined clearly what master plan should be and how it should be adopted, amended and managed. From the point of constitutionalism, the City Planning Law should have explained the meaning of master plan exactly. To improve this situation, we muster look carefully into the state statutes in the U. S because they define these issues in detail. This paper focuses on California, as a model example of such states. First we shall examine the historical changes of master plan meanings in the state statues. Secondly we look closely into how many local governments adopted master plans in the past, what difficulties they faced during their preparation, and how the state statues have been amended to ease these difficulties.
