This study aims to clarify the actual conditions and problems of suburban residential area from the analysis of population change, land use transformation, and residents' evaluation. From a case study of Kanazawa City, the suburban area where was developed by Land Readjustment Project (LRP) shows the decrease of population and increase of population aged 65 or older. In contrast non-LRP area shows increase of population and the progress of urbanization. However, residents' evaluation to residential environment of non-LRP area is lower than LRP area, though it is related to quality of districts' infrastructure.
