N2  - The purpose of this study is, by using the System Dynamics method, to analyze the  current urban land use in Tokyo and to search the effective policies to improve it.  As the features of the current urban land use, Tokyo is suffering from the chronic  shortage of land which became a cause to bring about the land boom in 1980s.  Because of the strength of the System Dynamics method that it can dynamically  analyze the effects of policies to the behavior of a city as a unified system, this method is  applied to address the problem.  Focusing on the behavior of the land price in commercial and housing districts, this  study develops the model. As for speculation, this study assumes three types of speculation  which are speculation on the basis of the fundamental value of land, the behavior of the price,  and the expectation of other speculators' expectation.  In conclusion, if speculation has significant influence on the current urban land use in  Tokyo, firstly, the current social systems which cause the inefficiency of land use should be  reformed. Secondly, the rate of the property tax should be raised. Thirdly, the supply of land  should be increased by Improving the infrastructures. Lastly, the rate of the transaction tax  should be raised
