| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we reviewed previous researches on the relationship between city structure and number of steps and made an statistical analysis making use of disaggregate data of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. As a result, we showed that population density elasticity of number of steps was about 0.045 and number of steps had a peak around 11,000 persons/km2. The higher the population density, the shorter the distance to the destination and the higher the service level of public transport. We need panel data analysis to see the impacts of intervention for the next step.
