Abstract

The purpose of this research is to verify the effectiveness of policies to control urban sprawl. By using an agent-based model (ABM), which was built for simulating urban structure changes through autonomous behavior of urban residents, this research clarified the following points and how they were. First, the combination of the proper location of a public facility for urban residents and the implementation of a policy to promote activeness around it was effective in maintaining a compact urban structure. Second, similarly, the synergistic effects of some transport policies and the above-mentioned policies could impact positively on urban environment generally.
