Abstract

To achieve sustainable target, it is required for citizens to refrain from driving and decrease environmental load. In the decreasing society, it's more important to seize the individual personal condition, namely the type of trip makers than the type of their zones. This study aims to clarify how the type of trip makers and the type of their zones influence each transportation behavior and environmental load. The result shows that the effect of transportation behavior on total environmental load depends on behavioral types of trip makers such as 'car-dependent groups' rather than the type of residential zones. It is indicated that not only change of urban form but also Mobility Management such as behavior modification is indispensable to realize sustainability.
