In this paper we made a point of urban fringe movement as the reflection of urbanisation in Tokyo metropolitan area, and discussed about driving forces on such movement. According to spatio-temporal distribution of agricultural and urban land uses, we could identify urban fringe movement and its sectorial differences, and revealed ten factors of them: land conditions and their improvement, transportation network, the importance of rice farming, accessibility to the metropolitan centre and off-farm works, land use policies and city planning, the innovation of farming technology, the great demand of land for urban uses, and lifestyle changes. Furthermore, some linkages of these factors organised six sub-systems: land conditions, transportation network, socio-economic activities, urban pressure, policies and decision-making to land use changes. Urban fringe movement and its sectorial differences have been closely related to the complex of some sub-systems, which organised a set of driving forces. The combination of these sub-systems in one sector is different from those in other sectors, so that it leads to sectorial differences of urban fringe movement.
