In Japan, the Government has allocated much more public goods to local areas than urban areas. But recently, many public projects in local areas become inefficient which seems to have a strong relation with the Japanese public investment policies that neglect the viewpoint of. In this paper, we shall theoretically derive a criterion for the optimal allocation of the local public goods based on the Flatters, Hederson and Miezhowski (1974)'s model, empirically evaluate the present allocation of local public goods and inter-regional fiscal adjustment in Japan, and then indicate some ideas concerning what allocation policy should be.

In many situations, local jurisdictions are willing to form coalition or groups with others to share the cost of local public goods rather than solely to manage their own. In this article, the issue of stability of endogenously formed coalitions in games with positive spillover is investigated. It is shown that the standard concept of Nash equilibria fails to single out the unique equilibrium coalition and needs further refinement of the stability conditions. Coalition-proof Nash stability is proven to be more powerful in selecting stable coalitions by illustrating a numerical example.

To date, planner have focused largely individual elements on quality of life. They have not defined and measured systematically comprehensive quality of life. This article aims to present a methodology measuring quality of life relevant to neighboring environment. We assume that quality of life consists of some latent factors related to citizen satisfactions and that the factors have direct relation to individual attributes and environmental characteristics. In order to model this complicated casual relations, LISREL model is applied. An empirical study on measuring quality of life is also represented.

This paper proposes a model which describes optimal job-housing locational pattern considering their combination type. Typically, there are two types of combination: mixed type and separate type. The presented model minimizes the total traffic flow which consists of commuting and business trip, under the constraint of necessary road space. Vertical moves are also taken into account. Through numerical examples, the properties of locational patterns are discussed. First, the location patterns of jobs under the mixed type combination tend to disperse, but they bring us less traffic flow, comparing with the separate type. Second, when add the housing gross/net density constraint, the discrepancy of locational patterns between two is enlarged. This implies the importance of the combination type in discussing job location related issues.

Two step planning determination was an exceptional measure, which divided itself into two steps on purpose although it ban originally accept any changes and supplements without any steps. In addition, securing citizen participation in the second step of the procedure actually led to fixing the first determination. Two step planning determination procedure can apply to not all future recovery programs after disaster. It is more significant to involve residents in city planning in normal time, to open information to public and to make present city planning system flexible which can accept any changes such as discontinuance and change of program rather than diffusion of two step planning determination procedure.

For this aim, we conducted a survey by which we can examine the characters of parks around suburban stations in the Sendai area and P&R user preference of those parks. Using data of this survey, we first built a rank model which describes the relation between parking fee and walking distance from station. Next, we built a binary logit model which estimates P&R users choice between parks according to parking characters. Combining these two models. We developed a graph which figures the complex effect of two parking characters on P&R users choice between parks. We verified the validity of our model through checking the actual state of parking contact was explained by our models.

The company-owned privately registered motor vehicles used by their employees is associated with issues of urban traffic congestion and on-street parking in the CBD of Tokyo. These problems involve many diverse aspects. These include not only the phenomenon of utilization on the street for convenience of business operations, but also the style of multi-purpose business activities, such as sales and delivery by these vehicles on the way to the office. This paper aims to implement TDM for limiting the usage for these vehicles by exercising self-control, which limits the trip demand and controls the trip-end in the district, and is from the view point of the survey results from many enterprises.

Firstly, we could find that traditional area flow/speed relation didn't consider the effect of signal intersection even though it made great effect on the area traffic service. Secondly, it is evident that newly proposed area flow/speed relation is useful for assessing transport policies in urban area where a lot of signal intersections exist. Finally, analysis results show that newly proposed area flow/speed relation is applicable to the strategic transport model.

Manu major cities in the world are located near river waterfront areas such as Tokyo, London, Paris, New York. This is because in the past, water transport served as the most vital transport system for supplying goods and commodities for people living in the city. As a result, the Central Business District (CBD) was developed in the downtown area adjacent to the river. This study clarifies the logistics functions of physical distribution facilities and analyzes the characteristics of five commercial districts (Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Fukagawa, Ryogoku, and Kuramae) along the Sumida River in Tokyo during Edo period. It also tries to understand the cause of transfer of physical distribution facilities based on the study of the infrastructure of the water transport system.
