Abstract

This study focused on the possibility of subjective indicators to evaluation of transportation environment. The data we used in this study was collected in two communities at Hokuto city in 2009 and in 2010. We investigated the difference between two communities and between two points of time. From the statistical test, the life satisfaction became higher significantly at the community where new public transportation was provided. Moreover, the individual change of transportation environment is also significant factor of subjective indicators. We concluded that subjective indicators such as life satisfaction can measure the environment change of transportation and confirm its applicability to evaluation of transportation measures.
