In　order　to　study　the　trip　distribution　between　traffic　zones　according　to　the　trip　behaviors　of　the　residents,　forecast　method　for　trip　distribution　was　proposed　based　on　trip　chains,　with　the　relationships　among　land　use　patterns,　residents＇　activities　and　urban　transport　considered.　First,　the　model　for　the　relationship　between　trip　generation　and　land　use　patterns　and　population　was　established.　Then　the　trip　chain　types　were　divided　into　8　according　to　the　trip　purposes　and　sequences.　After　the　trip　chain　was　decomposed　into　different　activities,　according　to　the　purpose　and　attraction　of　each　pattern　of　land　use　in　each　trip,　the　trip　distribution　between　two　zones　in　a　trip　chain　was　determined.　When　all　zones　and　trip　chains　were　considered,　trip　distributions　of　all　traffic　zones　were　determined.　At　last,　the　results　of　the　study　were　verified　by　an　example.　The　results　show　that　the　average　error　between　the　forecast　results　and　the　actual　data　is　8.4%,　which　means　the　method　is　effective.
