Japan Project Brief for the Case of Toyama City Forming a Compact City with Light Rail Transit The case of Toyama City Japan Project Brief Background and Objectives Toyama has developed as one of the main capital cities along the coastal region of the Japan Sea. The city area of 1,242 km2 with about 420,000 residents accounts for approximately 30% of the prefectural land. However, the prefectural capital experienced both a shrinking population, having reached a peak in 2010, and also aging, with a high proportion of elderly residents estimated to reach about 30% by 2020 (Figure 1 and 2). Due to the shrinking and aging population trends within its large municipal boundary, the city marked the lowest urban density among all prefectural capitals in Japan. Similar to many American cities, Toyama’s spacious and flat land market, strong demand for home ownership, and extended road network has accelerated urban sprawl and exacerbated downtown decay over the past decades. Accordingly, Toyama’s lifestyle became heavily car dependent with the second highest private vehicle ownership in the country (1.72 cars per household in 2010 (Figure 3 and 4)). In response to increased social concern over these demographic and urban declining issues, the city planned to produce transit-oriented, compact township by reinvesting in public transit systems and consolidating a wide range of city functions along the modernized transit corridors. 100% UnitUnit:: Thousands000 population of people 16 19 21 25 29 31 32 33 35 500 80% 38 40 400 60% 418 421 422 422 414 404 68 391 376 67 65 62 300 360 342 40% 59 58 58 322 58 56 53 51 200 20% 100 15 14 14 13 12 11 10 0% 9 9 9 9 0 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 2045 0-14 years old 15-64 yenars old 65 years old Source: Produced by author based on Report on Future Population Forecast in Toyama City, 2010 Unit: Vehicles 1.6 1.65 1.7 1.75 1.8 2009 175,743 79,799 Fukui 1990 127,276 10,826 0 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 300,000 ToyamaToyama Normal Automobile Light Automobile Gunma Gifu Source: Based on statistics in Toyama City, 2010, White Paper 2009, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Yamagata Unit: Number of Private Vehicles per Household Source: Automobile Inspection & Registration Information Association (Data as of March 2010) Forming a Compact City with Light Rail Transit Project Overview Toyama has embodied the idea of a transit- oriented compact city on the unique visual Railway, LRT, Bus Servicec Railway Service image of a “skewer & dumpling form” – a Bus Service Urban Center metaphor for public transit corridors and Regional Core nodes (Figure 5). To realize such a visionary plan, both political and organizational actions were critical. Politically, the mayor took on a leadership role in holding a number of open dialogues with citizens for social agreements and arranging a variety of funds for capital- intensive projects. Organizationally, the city set up three policy pillars: reinvestment in Source: Kanda, M. 20 November, 2014.

However, few easy-to-use clinical tools exist to evaluate the unique eye-gaze patterns of ASD. Recently, we developed Gazefinder, an all-in-one eye-tracking system for early detection of ASD in toddlers. Because abnormal gaze patterns have been documented in various ASD age groups, we predicted that Gazefinder might also detect gaze abnormality in adolescents and adults. In this study, we tested whether Gazefinder could identify unique gaze patterns in adolescents and adults with ASD. Methods: We measured the percentage of eye fixation time allocated to particular objects depicted in movies (i.e., eyes and mouth in human face movies, upright and inverted biological motion in movies that presented these stimuli simultaneously, and people and geometry in movies that presented these stimuli simultaneously) by male adolescents and adults with ASD (N = 26) and age-matched males with typical development (TD; N =35).Wecomparedthese percentages between the two groups (ASD and TD) and with scores on the social responsiveness scale (SRS).
