Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyze how the use of free passes influent on lifestyles of suburb inhabitants around train stations. Many suburb residential areas have developed as bedroom community in Japan. Today, however, such areas have many problems: reduction of population, aging of inhabitants, and so on. With aging of inhabitants, the luck of elderly people's QOL is getting more and more serious. Some measures have been taken in such areas, but they have not had enough effect. On the other hand, urban areas also have serious problems of hollowing. So as to deal with this, the concept of “Compact City” is proposed and adopted on some laws, but few cities have realized this concept.
