Furthermore, by a survey using this casebook, we try to identify how the information of the casebook influences views and attitudes to urban-core life of suburbanites. The results are as follows: First, common features of life styles in the urban core are identified as intention of utilizing various services with high quality supplied in the core and attitudes of valuing life without cars. Second, surprisingly, the most significantly influenced generation is thirties. The reason is that their images of security, environment of child care, and education in the urban core are significantly improved by the information.
