Study on Difference of Character of Urban Promotion Area between First Area Division and Expanded one

Bumpei NAKADE, Shu HIGUCHI, Toshiya MATSUKAWA

This study aims to examine the problem of the Urbanization Promotion Area expansion at the local cities by comparing the spatial characterizations of the area designated for the Urbanization Promotion Area at first Area Division and the expanded one according to the urban area type.
We analyze the condition of Area Divided Cities by classifying them into "City where the Urbanization Promotion Area is widely designated at first" and "City narrowly designated" with GIS software.
The problem of the former is as follows. There are the cities where the Urbanization Promotion Area is excessively designated. There are the urban areas where the population density doesn't rise enough and those where the infrastructure is unsecured for corresponding to the rapid population increase. The cities of the latter worry about the future improvement method because such type cities form infrastructure widely unsecured at build-up area.
