Research Abstract

This study aims to develop a method for describing and optimizing the hierarchical stucture found in the spatial structure of facilities. First, we develop a graph theoretical method to analyze a spatial hierarchy of facilities. With a help of this method, we can describe a spatial hierarchy by several indices ; tree lengh, tree width, and K value. We apply this method to the stores in Nishinomiya, and compared it with two hierarchical structures, one derived from the Christaller's law, and the other from a spatial randomness. We consequently concluded that the spatial hierarchy found in the real world often seemds to have one kind of regularity, but such regularity can be found in a spatial randomness. Second, we expand this method to a space on network. By this expansion, we can analyze the spatial structure from a view of behavioral models. We applied this method to the analysis of retail facilities, public schools, and post offices. From this analysis, we obtained some important findings. Third, we develop a computational algorithm to optimize hierarchical structures of facilities. There are already several algorithms to optimize the location of facilities, but they do not enables us to optimize the hierarchical structure itself. Out algorithm is one solution to this problem. To test the validity of this method, we applied it to the optimization of mail delivery system, and we could obtain an almost ideal structure.
