Many municipalities have established Urban Function Induction-encouraged Areas (core areas) in a hierarchical manner through Location Normalization plans. Although there have been many studies on what kind of facilities to core areas, "human movement" to there has not been systematically evaluated. In this study, the validity of the core areas is discussed through the categorization of sites based on human movement. The results of the analysis
using the Tokyo Person Trip Survey showed that 1) there are cases in which the local government has set up a core area but there are no appropriate arrival trips, and 2) on the contrary, there are cases in which even a sub-core area is judged to be highly hierarchical in terms of concentrated trips. Therefore, it was suggested that it is important to set up core
areas based on wide-area coordination that covers the entire area.
