Abstract
As excessive motorization proceeds in local cities, there is serious mobility gap caused by owning car. In such areas, daily and social activity of people who cannot hold car may be restricted. In this study, we implemented questionnaire survey for residents and students and examine the psychological effects of the mobility gap. As a result, it was indicated that the degree of place attachment, subjective well-being and sense of local geography is higher for the students who hold car than students who do not hold car. On the other hand, place attachment of residents show opposite tendency and higher than students. This result indicate that mobility gap in local city have negative psychological influence on passive- non-owner of car.
