Abstract

The purpose of this research is to verify the effectiveness of the combination of the introduction of a tramway with introducing a public facility for urban residents and implementing a policy to promote activeness around it, on urban sprawl. By using an agent-based model (ABM), which was built for simulating urban structure changes through autonomous behavior of urban residents, this research clarified that, depend on the urban initial state, the combination of these policies can lead the two different types of compact city: the polycentric-form and the monocentric-form.

Notes

  1. 1.

    E.g., Musashino Place in Tokyo, Japan (2011), Takeo City Library in Saga, Japan (2013), Gifu Media Cosmos in Gifu, Japan (2015), Art Museum & Library, Ota in Gunma, Japan (2017).

  2. 2.

    This model assumes that 30 times of daily travels (a single loop process of residential relocation) represent two years in the real-world. Therefore, 20 loop processes of the residential relocation correspond to simulating 40 years of urban dynamics in the real-world.
