A new station in the existing line has been provided variously because of a lack of the appropriate institution. Petitioned stations were widely known before the privatization of JNR. Now, development of residential districts or improvement of public transports are still required in metropolitan areas. From the view point of urban and transport planning, it is important to establish new process for a new station and to appreciate it and the effect. The purpose of this study is to state a new direction for station provision ment ioned above. Information from a few examples were collected in detail and the process was summarized. After land price models were calibrated, capital gain from a new station and area development were assessed.
