Abstract

The new contribution of this paper is that we proposed an agent-based Household Residential Relocation Model (HRRM) for planning support in Kanazawa city, Japan.

The simulation is targeted to evaluate the effectiveness of this policy and hereafter, helps local government make a decision.
