This paper aimed 1) to grasp actual aspects of individual resident's daily living in a group living type facility for people with intellectual disabilities, and 2) to acquire the knowledge towards a future planning, through analysis of physical, social, and individual elements which may be factors of residents' selection of their 'Particular Place.' In this paper, each resident's 'particular places' were extracted, and the factors of selecting the 'particular places' were analyzed based on the detailed observation of 49 residents' daily life. The result shows; 1) aspects of using space are different according to resident's attribution such as sex, age and with or without autism, 2) shared spaces are often occupied. Especially in facilities with Group Living Method, residents spend much time within their unit, 3) the residents whose intellectual disability is mild, without autism, and whose sex is female can more easily select their place and they are synthetically conscious of their surrounding environment, 4) the resident who is seldom conscious of their surrounding environment even can have the consciousness to a place. 5) The [place] element is important even to residents with low consciousness to a surrounding environment as well. We observed that those residents also tend to stay at their 'Particular Places,'
