Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the regional and temporal changes of car ownership and car usage with respect to socio-economic variables and to compare environmental impacts of car usage in each region in Japan. To do so, we build a car ownership model and a gasoline consumption model for car usage using socio-economic data of each preference for each year from 1965 to 1993. Then we make a simulation system to estimate environmental indices of car usage emissions in each prefecture. This paper provides a model to explain the regional and temporal changes of car ownership and car usage in Japan and findings to show the regional differences in environmental impacts of car usage.
