Abstract

<p>The population concentration tometropolitan area in a declining population has aggravated thevariousproblems of overcrowding in large cities and problems associated with a depopulation in local areas. In this study, based on a household utility model and government statistics, we determined the utility of model households by urban employment areaand the impact of each component. The results showed thatthere isno correlation between citysize and the utility, andthat althoughincomes are higher inlargecities, residential floor rentandcommutingtime depress utility,and thatthe deviation of utility for renting householdsin Tokyo is particularlynegative. This resultis consistent withthe Ministry ofLand, Infra-structure, Transport and Tourism's survey ofeconomic affluence by prefecture, butthis study is academically significant in that it established a common model household for inter-city comparison and evaluatedthe differences inincome, housing costs, andcommutingtime betweencities as utility inan integratedand empirical manner basedon a household utility model.</p>
