In 1989 MAKUHARI MESSE was opened and people began to move into the neaby residential section beginning in 1997. This research examined utilization and evaluation of urban functions in MAKUHARI New City, based on questionnaires of inhabitants in the residential section ward. The authors found out that 1) Inhabitant in a residential section ward utilizes the urban functions that they are used in daily life. 2) By using institutions of other areas, they are making up for the insufficient functions in their own ward.
