Abstract
The Securing of the fairness and efficiency will be required to design the service of public transportation. Especially, about local transport, the target areas and policies should be clarified, because of the limited public burden. In this study, the potential public transport demand is quantified by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). And by using the results of the estimation, improvement priorities and benchmark sets will be clarified. In addition, the development model is applied to Rikuzentakata city (Iwate pref.), and we studied for potential to implement the model by the case study approach.
