This paper aims to clarify the specific requirements to make LRT adaption possible. The results indicate, beyond the need for middle range transportation systems, the importance of the following: potential contribution to inner city revitalization, environmental concerns, land use conditions and spatial composition needed by adjacent businesses.

スペイン、チェコにおけるトラムの郊外路線において、トラムとの関連で開発された沿線プロジェクトの現状について、現地調査結果に基づいて分析したものである。

In this study, we clarified features of the hub system on railway network assembled by Swiss Rail 2000 policy. We also calculated how much the policy has shortened the intercity traveling time or the loss time at transit stations since 1987 till 2005. We measured those values with Expected Value of Traveling Time (EVTT) or Real Operation Loss Time (ROLTime). These are designed for intercity transportation, whose utility is dominated by not only length of boarding hours but also intervals of train departures and loss time at stations. EVTT or ROLTime can consider these features of intercity transportation. Based on the study, we considered what kind of policy should be a new basic rule for Japanese trunk railway network.

The study revealed the changes in possibility of mutual access between all prefectural capitals in Japan. We considered five points of time, since the Meiji era. In this process, the concept of the possible staying time has been referred to, instead of commonly used indices, to take into account the feature of inter city mutual access, such as frequent services and conveniences of transfer. As the result, it can be noted that the differences in inter city accessibility between developed districts and those not had apparently widened, during the ages of development, construction and other improvements in transportation facilities. Also, it shows that as these improvements in transportation facilities expand nationwide, the differences in accessibility tend to diminish.
