This study aims to understand accessibility of residential area to daily-use local facility of elderly people, and clarifies the characteristics of municipality in Chiba prefecture.
We estimate the number of people who can access to the nearest facilities on foot. Then by applying these data to cluster analysis, we classify municipalities into 7 clusters in which to describe their characteristics.
If the population density decreases, accessibility of residential area to local facility becomes worse. Particularly, the characteristics of residential area relate to the proximity of clinic, community center or library.
