Abstract
The author intends to introduce a method of investigation in the field of City Planning through the planning of urban street system based on the scientific estimation and distribution of future traffic volume thereon. He proposes that the origin-destination survey is being performed in order to clarify the present traffic pattern in the urban area, and that it is necessary to apply sampling theory, especially the cluster sampling, for the survey practice. The future traffic volumes are to be estimated for the individual block within the considered district from the increase of population and the change of land use pattern in those district.The author describes an instructive method of distributing these estimated traffic volumes to their inter-zonal and in-zonal traffic volumes which must correspond to the land use of each district of the city.Then assuming several plans of arterial street system for the future, and computing the total traffic resistance of the street system from thus assigned future traffic volumes, we can decide the most excellent urban street system of the city by choosing the one which has the minimum traffic resistance among them.
