Abstract

Articles

The studies of Japanese metropolitan areas discuss the structure of the areas, while others analyze the today’s condition of a specific area. Former studies examine the structures,development and decline of metropolitan areas. Latter studies reveal the conditions of manufacture, retail business or service industry in metropolitan areas. However, few studies examine the features of a specific area, by analyzing multiple industries’ condition and spatial development of them. This study tries to examine this point in a suburban city of Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The case area is Kawagoe city, which is located 30km away from Central Tokyo. Main industry is agriculture (in the primary industry), manufacture(in the secondary industry), retail business, service industry, and tourism (in the tertiary industry). Commercial business and service industry has been developed in the central area of Kawagoe (near the main station), and many tourists come to historical sites in the northern area. On the other hand, there are ome shopping centers, industrial park in the outer area. Also,in the outer area, farmers cultivate the paddy fields near the rivers and farms on the uplands. We discussed that each industry in suburban city is affected by the dynamics of metropolitan areas, and there would be a zone structure not only metropoli an area, but also inside the suburban city.
