Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study developed planning support methodologies for urban structures to ensure the quality of residents' living environment, focusing on land use, facility placement, and public transportation. Firstly, we proposed a land use allocation model and a pedestrian distribution index, which revealed desirable land use patterns and the pedestrian activity patterns in urban areas. Secondly, we suggested an evaluation method for facility convenience and an urban core allocation model that considers the travel for visiting multiple facilities. This allowed us to quantitatively demonstrate ways to improve accessibility and decide the type and location of necessary facilities in relation to the public transportation network. Thirdly, we developed an evaluation and design method for the public transportation network, highlighting its characteristics in balancing travel demand and operating costs in coordination with facilities and urban cores.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では，「住民が施設を利用する際の到着しやすさ」という利便性の観点から，土地利用，施設，交通を連携して評価できるアクセシビリティ指標と，それに基づいた自治体の都市構造の診断・課題の抽出手法を提案し，日本全国の自治体における現況と課題を明らかにし，施設利用の利便性と運営コストを考慮した空間計画の実現に向けた土地利用・施設・公共交通における計画手法を提案した．本研究の成果により，都市機能・居住誘導区域の設定などの土地利用規制，施設の計画的な再編，交通網の再編を連携した空間計画の実現が期待される．
