The Relation Analysis between Population in Reachable Areas and Downtown Vibrancy Based on Field Surveys in 36 Local Cities

In recent times, local cities in Japan are facing problems such as reduced convenience of public transportation and hollowing out of the city centers. Under these circumstances, the compact plus network design is attracting attention as a way to create sustainable cities. In this study, the authors quantify vibrancy based on field surveys in 36 cities and analyze the factors of vitalization by dividing population size of cities. The results of the analysis clearly show that there is almost no correlation between vehicle density and vibrancy, and that the vibrancy is strongly influenced by population in public transport reachable areas, but less affected by population in vehicle reachable areas.
