Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the accessibility to the natural environments of residential environment evaluation in Utsunomiya City. For the purpose, the evaluation functions which use multiple regression analy-sis with residents'evacuation of accessibility as the criterion variable and the traveling time to the destinations as explanatory variables were developed using GIS.As the result, compared with the case which the air distance was used as explanatory variables, the coefficient of determination becomes more than two times. And this result shows that traveling time is an effective factor and GIS is useful tool for this kinds of study.
