Abstract

The purpose of this research is to verify the effectiveness of the combination of the introduction of tramway with introducing a public facility for urban residents and promoting street activeness around it, on urban sprawl. An agent-based model (ABM) for simulating the changes of urban structure through autonomous behavior of urban residents was designed, and the simulation experiments were conducted based on the assumption of combining these policies. As a result, this research clarified the following points and how they were. First, the synergistic effects of the introduction of tramway, the proper location of a public facility for urban residents, and the promotion of street activeness around it, are effective in maintaining a poly-centric compact urban structure. Second, the introduction of tramway targeting the urban sprawl can exert a profound effect only when combined with the above-mentioned policies, although it takes a long period. Third, a mono-centric compact urban structure is realized along with the above, while improving the living environment and revitalizing the urban central area.
