In this study, as an example of a new town where population is expected to decrease in the future, it aims to investigate the distribution of vacant lots and vacant houses in the Nankai Hashimoto Rinkan Rural City and to understand the issues for maintaining the new town for the future. A field survey and a material survey were conducted, and comparisons were made by smaller areas in comparison to the previous studies. As a result, it became clear that the vacant house rate is high in areas that are more than 10 minutes on foot from the elementary school. In addition, there were some areas where vacant houses were found even though the residential land was unsold. From a 20-year data survey, it was found that many of the vacant lots have been used as parking lots in a planned manner, and that the number of parking lots has not increased in recent years.
