Abstract
This study aims to examine the differences in the residential environments of single persons who live alone and those who live with their parents. Single-person households tend to reside in residential development areas or locations with convenient access to public transportation, while single persons living with their parents are more likely to live outside these areas. Furthermore, there is no clear relationship between their residential locations and access to public transportation, and they do not always intend to move. Single persons who continue to live in areas with poor access to public transportation and therefore face higher risks, such as lack of support or nursing care, could potentially contribute to future urban planning challenges, such as the emergence of shopping refugees or an increasing number of people with limited mobility.
