Abstract
Studies were conducted with the visiting to 580 households in the urban districts of Tokyo, Yokohama and Kawaguchi in order to clarify the features and problems of the health and medical care, Comparing residential, commercial and industrial districts and collective housing area, their features concerning the living and health standards are not always coincide. The morbidity of the collective housing area, especially common colds were noted the highest. Residents of the collective housing area utilise the health service more, especially that for the mothers and children, but it is evident that the lack of function of mutual assistance among the housholds and neighbours due to their small f amilly units. Accordingly it is necessary to organise services and facilities for medical care, social education and nurseries. The medical needs vary according to the districts and living standards, hence some comprehensive health organizations to give suitable administration according to the respective needs of each distict should be established.
