By Nobuaki OHMORI Yasunori MUROMACHI Noboru HARATA Katsutoshi OHTA For aged society, it is important to provide user-friendly transport environment. We calculated travel time and generalized time to measure accessibility to general hospitals, and analyzed if aged people can do out-of-home activity within his daily time-space constraint, using their time use data.

As a result, accessibility gets worse. It is difficult to maintain the present accessibility only by improving of transportation service, and it is more useful to improve activity service leve
