Summing up scores of cognitive evaluations on selected districts shown by dwellers, I get some cognitive sphere maps which are tend to expand area over its own district and overlap each other in urban area. Urban spatial composition can be classified with these spheres. I show the several cognitive sphere maps made on analysis of questionnaires in the urban area in YONEZAWA city and compare with the last data which I have got 10 years before through the same method. 3 aspects are analyzed on fallowings, 1. Cognitive spheres show the decline of centripetal power in the central district. 2. Cognitive density score is mainly based on both the space-use in the district and the distance from the central district. 3. Living environment is able to evaluate as a whole through cognitive density spheres especially in the local and historical city.
