Abstract
In this paper, we estimated and analyzed the facilities and the step composition of facilities by the questionnaire to the users of community facilities and the dwellers around them in Mitaka city. And we grasped the aspect of facilities which are useful for forming a community, and got the following results. 1. In the first step of community facilities, regional-type facilities of a small scale are most available and important. 2. In the upper step of regional-type facilities, it is desirable that they should be situated within less than 800 meters of the users. 3. Correspondence between regional people and their facilities weakens in inverse proportion to the distance between the two. 4. The frequent users of regional-type facilities have a stronger sense of regional solidarity and less inclination toward anomie dissolution than the infrequent users. 5. The frequent users of city-type facilities have a less sense of regional solidarity than the infrequent users. 6. Therefore, regional-type facilities play an important role in forming a community.
