Abstract

In many cities in the world, light rail transit (LRT) and bus rapid transit (BRT) are developed. Although it is assumed that the influences of LRT and BRT on utility level of citizens are the same in general measurement method of benefit of developing public transport and conventional location equilibrium models, these might be different. In this study, the authors develop a quasi-dynamic location equilibrium model considering the difference of influences on utility level of households between LRT and BRT, and propose the measuring method of the benefit of developing LRT and BRT which is consistent with the equilibrium model theoretically. The authors also develop an empirical model for Maebashi city in Japan and conduct a case study analysis assuming new construction of LRT or BRT. As a result of the analysis, it is indicated that impacts on population distribution and benefit distribution are different between LRT and BRT, etc.近年、日本の多くの都市では人口減少を見据えたコンパクトなまちづくりの一環として、LRTやBRTを導入、または導入を検討している。本稿では、LRT・BRTの特徴・違いを踏まえたこれらの整備による都市内人口分布への将来時系列の影響の分析手法、それと理論整合的な便益計測手法を示した。さらに、群馬県前橋市におけるケーススタディを実施し、新たな都市交通を整備しない場合、LRTを整備した場合、BRTを整備した場合の2040年までの都市内人口分布を推計し、LRT整備・BRT整備による人口分布への影響、帰着便益の分布、都市全体の便益の比較を行った。分析の結果、LRT整備の便益はBRT整備の便益を概ねすべてのゾーンで上回ること、LRT整備、BRT整備のケースともに沿線ゾーン以外においては整備がない場合と比較して人口は減少するものの正の帰着便益が生じることなどが示唆された。
