Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of elderly people who consider relocation and districts with high percentage of that people in rural areas. So, we conducted investigation in Aizubange-Machi Town, Fukushima Prefecture. The result of investigation, 61.4% of elderly people consider relocation. In addition, "elderly people with the needs of living support", "elderly single and couple households", "elderly people who live with their son's households", "elderly people who enjoy the support", "elderly people who don't own farmland" tend to consider relocation. Moreover, history of districts and distance for town center influences the percentage of the elderly people who have the relocation intention. Therefore, effective measures are different depending on districts even if those districts are included in same municipality.
