Abstract
Many of the rural areas in Japan have suffered from depopulation and population aging. When elderly people will age more, it will be difficult for them to drive a car and the people who can't drive will increase. Because of this, it will be important to prepare the mobility in these areas. For measures for this problem, community buses have begun being operated in some areas. However, many of them haven't been successful because demands of elderly people for mobility and the community bus haven't understood. In this study, on the basis of two questionnaire surveys, which were carried out in the Osaki-Kamijima Island, attitudes of the elderly people to mobility and a community bus are analyzed. Through these analyses, attitudes of the elderly people to relation between mobility and quality of their life and a service level of a bus that elderly people want are shown.
