Abstract
    The purpose of this study was to clarify the geographic distribution of public sports center users with regard to the distance decay model, and to verify the difference of the parameters of the use frequency level. The findings of the analyses are summarized as follows ;
    A logarithmic relationship was observed between the distance from sports center and number of users (R2=.572) . This suggests that the distribution of public sports center users is affected by the distance.
    And the distance decay parameter of low frequency users is much smaller than that of high and middle frequency users. This suggests that there is a possibility that users who live a short distance from the sports center would be higher frequency users than those who live a long distance from the sports center.
