ANALYSIS OF RELATION BETWEEN DISTRIBUTION OF SOCIAL INCREASE OR DECREASE IN POPULATION AND CONVENIENCE IN LIVING OF LOCAL CITIES IN VIEW OF COMPACT CITIES

Abstract

The aim of this study is to respond to the question whether Japanese local cities are heading for compact cities and whether urban planning measures for compact cities are effective. To this end, the population distribution of Hamamatsu and Kanazawa cities was analyzed. First, the supply of apartment houses and the distribution of social increase and decrease in population as well as convenience in living was studied. Second, the urban planning measures for the districts with distinguishing population increase or convenience in living were compared with the trend. The results showed that the population is still diffusing and the effect of the urban planning measures is still limited.
