| Abstract | In this study, the locational behaviours of various urban locators
are analysed for various locational conditions including transportation
accessibility by considering small units of land . Initially, the
locational behaviour is expressed by using the basic equations of
utility and bidrent from new urban economics. These are then
transformed into random functions, considering their randomness. And
finally, based on discrete choice theory these equations are
integrated into a joint probability model suitable for a large scale
land u se analysis. The parameters of this model are estimated by assuming
same influences of the common variables on both the utility and
bidrent functions . The estimation is conducted for the Kashiwa
City in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. The estimation results
established the consistency between the parameters of these functions
and thus verify the concept of the model.
Moreover, the bidrent and utility analyses are conducted
independently for estimating the locational parameters. Various
estimation specifications are used to improve the reliability of the
estimates. The way how to treat the share of each type of locators in
a small unit of land is studied. The reliability of the estimates
under various specifications are compared and discussed. Methods to
treat large volume of data and to reduce the computational time are
also developed. |
