Research Abstract

This research attempts to clarify the socio-spatial structure of the 23 Ward areas of Tokyo and its effects on the housing policy.
At first, I examine the strategic meaning of using social atlas and the sociological perspective on housing policy. Then, I analyze the socio-spatial structure by using the census data from 1985 to 2005, focusing on the population of increase and decrease, age, type of household and social stratification. Moreover, the characteristic of the spatial distribution of the house was clarified by using the house and the land statistics data. After of these, the clustering of the district was done based on these analyses of two. At last, the housing policy of each Ward is examined in the relation to the socio-spatial structure.
As a result of the examination, the transformation of the socio-spatial structure according to the trend of the re-urbanization of Tokyo is be clarified. And, I explicate that the housing policy of each Ward was in the context of the interurban competition and the public housing is reexamined.
