The purpose of this paper is to clarify the residents' consciousness to new subway service and its effects on residential environment. One residential area in Nagoya, which had new subway service, was selected, and two sampling surveys were conducted on it before and after its construction. The findings were as follows: More than 60% residents wanted new subway service and evaluated that the effects were desirable. However the further from the station there were subjects' houses, the less they wanted the new subway service and the lower they evaluated the effects, the effects on residential environment seemed to be small, but the degree of dissatisfaction for two items concerning car, 'parking on the road' and 'lack of parking lot', diminished.
