To cope with Japan is declining population and aging society, a plan based on "Compact plus Networks" is progress in cooperation with regional public transportation services. To complement service facilities in core areas with a network linking them, service facilities must be agglomerated. Moreover, smooth movement between core areas using public transportation is important. This study was conducted to obtain information when each city considers a compact plus network through the Agglomeration rate of Service facilities in Urban core areas (ASU) and Travel time by Public transportation between Core areas (TPC). Results clarified the relation of ASU and TPC in each city, demonstrating the progress of "Compact plus Networks." In addition, results show that two important tendencies: 1) the TPC of many smaller cities tends to be more than 60 min, and 2) especially between core areas including a core area with a low ASU, complementary service facilities are needed.
