Abstract
During the past several decades, many new towns have emerged in suburbs along new railway lines in Japan . Numerous problems in those towns are emerging as their population age. This study aimed to build a micro-simulation model of households to estimate residents’ assessments of quality of life in a suburban new town of a metropolis. Approximately 1500 households were sampled to collect survey data. Using census data and the survey data, base-year household microdata were estimated using the agent-based synthesis method. The survey data provided information on household histories after taking up residence in the present house. A microsimulation model was built using the household history data and simulations were performed to predict household transitions in the study area in five-year increments between 2015 and 2045.
