Abstract
The opportunity of daily life activities such as shopping and going hospital is getting restricted in many areas due to the reduction of the public transportation service and/or the closure of the commercial facilities. It is required for the local government to take actions to maintain the opportunity especially for the basic daily life activities. In doing so, it is useful for selecting or prioritizing the alternative action if the opportunity can be measured. This paper develops the accessibility measure for evaluating the opportunity for daily life activities in terms of freedom of choice. Also we demonstrate its usefulness using numerical case studies.
