Designing a future smart city (FSC) that copes with the reduction of CO2 has become one of the urgent tasks of the next 20years. One promising approach to achieve FSC is to combine appropriate land use (compact city with energy efficient buildings and photovoltaic panels (PVs)), transportation...

With the collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s, economic disparities among both people and regions have arisen in Japan. Although developments in spatial econometrics have provided regional convergence studies with highly effective tools to explicitly consider spatial dependence and...

The recent progress of spatial econometrics has developed a new technique called the “spatial hedonic approach,” which considers the elements of spatial autocorrelation among property values and geographically distributed attributes. The practical difficulties in applying spatial econometric...

In the Computable Urban Economic (CUE) Model, one land-use transport interaction (LUTI) model, improving the accuracy of the Location Choice Model is important to evaluate the effects of introducing urban transportation policies. However, our previous study revealed that the substantiation of...

Large-scale transportation projects such as the construction of a commuter railway accessible to metropolises have a significant regional impact. This study attempts to measure this impact using spatial statistical models and land price data. First, dynamic changes in the land price are analysed...
