Abstract
It is necessary to have some method which we evaluate transportation service level by the area. In this paper, Quality of Mobility (QoM), which is based on the concept of Capability approach advocated by Amartya Sen, is defined as an integrated index which evaluates transportation service level. We conduct some scenarios based simulations by applying this method to the mobility evaluation in Yamaga city and propose the future transportation policy. As a result, concentrating the population into the city center and improving some arterial roads are effective in improving transportation service level and equity .
