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. This model is built on household interaction through lifecycle stage and policy response to simulate household relocation accelerated by a new local policy of allowance support for households remove to downtown. The simulation is targeted to evaluate the effectiveness of this policy and hereafter, helps local government make a decision.
