Abstract
The aim of present study is to make it clear that the distribution of playmates is affected by space conditions in residential areas. In this study, the child population density stands for space conditions in an attendance area of each elementary school. The resolts in this study are as follows; (1) The relations between typse of playing-places and types of playmates are as follows; In a house or in a home lot : Playing alone or with members of family Out of a house or a home lot : Playing with schoolmates or with neighboring-friends (2) The relation between the distribution of playmates and the child population density are as follows; Y=b_0+b_1X+e Y : A distance from a child house. In a circle ares (a radius of Y), 80 percentage of playmates for total number of playmates are living. b_0 : A constant b_1 : A regression coefficient X : =1/√<D> (D; A child population density) e : An observation error
