- Description:
- The population of the Tokyo Metropolitan Region increased by about 3 millions in the five years between 1965 and 1970. This increase was due mainly to the flow of populations from the outer field of the Tokyo Metropolitan Region. Until around 1955, population increases were noticeable within the special wards of the metropolis. However, while there has been a recent lull in the increase rate of in-migration, there has been a remarkable increase in the amount of out-migration from the special wards to the four adjoining districts, the Tama district, Chiba Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture, and Kanagawa Prefecture. Out-migration exceeded in-migration in 1967 for the first time since the end of the War and the gap has been increasing year by year. On the other hand there has been gradual rise due to natural increase (the difference between births and deaths) in recent years, which has come to occupy a greater part of the population increase within the area of the Tokyo Metropolitan Region. Our model therefore was formulated to represent such relations between the ward area and the four adjoining districts, as migration, residential effect and commutation. We have divided the whole system into 5 sectors, corresponding to the ward area, the Tama district, Chiba Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture and Kanagawa Prefecture. Each sector is subdivided into population, residence, and enterprise sub-sectors.The simulation was run for the 150 years from 1900 to 2050 and the results contained World War II effect on the population, the number of residences and enterprises of the ward area.
