从20世纪80年代后半期开始，东京大都市区的办公地点郊区化一直在推进。从理论上讲，当办公功能定位在郊区而不是中央商务区（CBD）时，就有可能建立一种工作与家庭的关系，人们“在郊区生活和工作”。然而，在现有的研究中，并没有基于经验的、详细的分析郊区化对员工选择居住区的影响的性质。本研究以办公地点郊区化进展较为顺利的原大宫市、幕哈里新城、横滨港东未来21等城郊核心区域为研究对象，对办公搬迁过程中的居住选择行为进行问卷调查。所得结果可总结如下。当办公功能定位在郊区时，许多员工改变了他们的居住地，这最终导致了人们“在郊区生活和工作”的工作与家庭关系的积极建立。然而，我们的分析证实，工作和家庭之间的连续关系的形成，换句话说，工作和家庭的接近效应，取决于个体员工在被命令搬迁时所处的生活阶段。尽管如此，搬迁到郊区后发生的居住变化为员工提供了成为房主的机会，特别是在Makuhari新城的员工中，有一个明显的趋势是在年轻的时候就成为房主。对此可以列举出许多原因。2)即使这些员工在距离东京市中心40公里以上的价格较便宜的地区购买房屋，通勤仍然是可行的，这就形成了在CBD工作的人通勤头痛的根源。3)这些员工属于大公司的信息相关部门，他们的调动频率低于销售人员。
The suburbanization of office location has been progressing in the metropolitan Tokyo since the latter half of the 1980s. Theoretically, when office functions are positioned in the suburbs as opposed to in the central business district (CBD), it becomes possible to establish a work-home relationship wherein people “live and work in the suburbs.” However, no empirically based, detailed analysis has been conducted on the nature of the impact of suburbanization on the selection of residential districts by employees within existing research. The present study comprises an analysis of data collected from a questionnaire survey focusing on residential selection behavior during the relocation of office, which targeted the suburban cores of the former Omiya City, Makuhari New City, and Yokohama Minato Mirai 21, where comparatively smooth progress has been made in the suburbanization of office location. The results obtained can be summarized as follows. When office functions are positioned in the suburbs, many employees change their place of residence, which culminates in the proactive establishment of work-home relationships wherein people “live and work in the suburbs.” Nevertheless, our analysis confirmed that the formation of a contiguous relationship between work and home, in other words, the work-home proximity effect, is dependent upon the life stage of individual employees at the time they are ordered to relocate. Notwithstanding the above, the changes in residence occurring upon relocation to the suburbs furnish employees with the opportunity to become homeowners, and there is a pronounced tendency among employees in Makuhari New City in particular to become homeowners at a young age. A number of reasons for this can be cited. 1) A large number of houses have been supplied in cheaper price zones located more than 40km from center of Tokyo. 2) Commuting remains feasible even if such employees purchase houses in cheaper price zones located more than 40km from center of Tokyo, which forms the source of commuting headaches for people employed in the CBD. 3) Such employees, who are transferred less frequently than sales workers, belong to the information-related divisions of major corporations.
