| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the transformation of spatial structure of Tokyo Metropolitan area during 20 years. Since Oil Crisis, Tokyo has experienced some big social changes like bubble economy, post-industrialization, informationalization, and aging. Those social changes have appeared as the changes of spatial structure of Tokyo Metropolitan area. Social changes on economy and industry have made some transformations of spatial structure by changing the distribution of resources people had needed. Therefore, social area analyses have been adopted to find those social changes of modern Tokyo.
Data were collected from Population Census, National Census of Establishments, Voter Turnouts, Who's who, Yellow page, Report of Crimes and Traffic Accidents, and Person Trip Research. The results of analyses of population and family status showed that "suburb as the area where people had borne and grown children" had disappeared until 1990. The results of analyses of social stratification showed that the white collar workers located in the central part of the Tokyo Metropolitan area, on the other hand, the blue collar workers located on the fringes.
