Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research defines an urban whole system with social dynamics as “Habitat System”, and has constructed the general-purpose model of Habitat System applicable to different cities. Through constructing the model, a simulator, that enables to predict long-term urban environmental loads according to introduction and spread of the reduction measures and to support the effective policy planning, has been developed. The main features of the simulator are 1) versatility not dependent on city size, 2) convenience of automatically identifying internal parameters, 3) applicability that can relatively easily reflect various policy scenarios and 4) expandability that quantify the ripple effect among multiple cities by policy scenarios. By applying this simulator to different cities, we have clarified long-term CO2 emission reduction through various policy scenarios.
