1 AN AGENT BASED ESTIMATION METHOD OF HOUSEHOLD MICRO-DATA INCLUDING HOUSING INFORMATION FOR THE BASE YEAR IN LAND-USE MICROSIMULATION Kazuaki Miyamoto, Tokyo City University, Japan Nao Sugiki, Docon Co., Ltd., Japan Noriko Otani, Kansai University, Japan Varameth Vichiensan, Kasetsart University, Thailand 1

2 Introduction Land use microsimulation model - Requires micro-data for the base year including many attributes Micro-data not available - Synthetic population - Created from the accessible aggregated data Theoretically sound methodology - Synthesize household data 2

3 Objectives Develop a consistent method for estimating a set of agent based household micro-data - Extension of prior study (limited only to gender and age of each members) to comprehensive household data - Including housing type and the location Case Study for Validation - Apply the system to Parson-Trip-Survey data in the Sapporo Metropolitan area, Japan 3

4 Previous Works Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) based Methods Deming and Stephan (1940) - Population Synthesis Beckman et al. (1996) Miyamoto et al. (1986) - Improved IPF Guo & Bhat (2007) Pritchard & Miller (2009) Agent Based Approaches - Monte-Carlo Sampling by Agent Moeckel et al. (2003) Miyamoto et al. (1986) 4

5 Difficulties in Population Synthesis IPF with complex dataset - Zero-cell problem - Adding attributes reduce reliability Confidence or rigidity of classification - How much we can rely on - Similar to MAUP (Modifiable Areal Unit Problem) - Different result with different zoning 5

6 Presupposition The target micro-data of the households - Relationships of the members with the household head - Gender and age - Housing type and the location in the zone. Marginal condition from the census data - Number of households by the number of members - Number of persons by five-year age bands and gender - Number of housings by type - Number of households in each zone A certain number of samples that contains full information of the micro-data are available. 6

7 Micro-Data Dataset for household s with m members A ( hhl) { c, x, j, z} c ms ms ms ms : Member composition x ms : Age composition j : Type of housing z : Located Zone General form of Micro-data { ai 2 ( ai 1, ai,, air) 1 i N} R : Number of possible member types N : Number of households in the study area a ik : Age of member in household i Micro-Data ={head (male), head (female), husband, wife, one child (male), three children (male), one child (female), three children (female), father, mother, one grandchild (male) } ={45, 999, 999, 42, 15, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, 999, } 7

8 Basic Estimation Prinsiples Estimation Based on Probabilities Obtained from Sampled Micro-dataset Relationship or contingency - Between attributes of household members Adjustment to satisfy the marginal condition - Number of persons by age band by gender - Number of housings by type by zone Probabilistic Process by Mote Carlo Approach - Synthesis - Adjustment 8
