Abstract

The extreme population concentration in big cities is a global issue. In order to solve this issue, travel behavior research using mobile phone data has recently been studied by various researchers in addition to conventional social research. And this research field is still developing. This research is an experimental application of travel behavior research currently being conducted by many researchers. It is compared the mobile phone data obtained at the same time with the national census in Japan. We investigate the impact of these data differences on the attractiveness and land prices of cities in the 23 districts of Tokyo, and we make suggestions for implementing travel behavior. The purpose of this research is not only to solve the social issue of urban population density, but also to provide new business opportunities. This research will contribute to the maximum utilization of space in the world’s major cities.
