This study aimed to elucidate the proper arrangement of various daily living facilities for the aged, and the following findings were made. Because of the high level of usage of such facilities by the aged, the following four types of facilities, in order of priority, must be maintained: public administration facilities, leisure-welfare facilities, leisure-resting facilities, and welfare facilities. It is necessary to plan pedestrian walkways because the frequency of walking among the aged is higher than that among the non-aged. And, it is essential to select appropriate locations for each facility, all which should be arranged within about a 400-m radius from residential areas.
