Railway operators are endeavoring to improve levels of their services in order to gain more residents nearby. However, there are no studies focusing on the relationship between levels of railway services and residential location preference in the metropolitan areas. In this study, a questionnaire survey was conducted in the metropolitan areas. We applied conjoint analysis to the collected data, and quantified the effect of each transportation services on residential location preference. We confirmed that the effects can be compared quantitatively among each transportation services. The result of analysis suggests that railway services that affect residential location preference differ depending on resident’s attributes such as where they live and/or how often they use rail.
