When we find that residential location patterns are very strongly different among generations, most accessible location pattern of local public facilities for one generation does not assure good accessibility to other generations. This paper tries to discuss the inter-generation difference of the most accessible facility locations by solving p-Median problem for years from 1980 to 2000, based on the Population Census Data aggregated in regional meshes. When the number of located facilities are as small as two, or as many as the number of the candidate locations, no difference is found over the optimal locations. But when the number is in middle, the optimal locations have inter-generational differences, which might result in conflicts concerning on the public facility planning.
