While there is a movement to concentrate urban functions in urban centers amid the need for more compact cities and base-type urban structures, the seven municipalities from Muko City in Kyoto Prefecture to Settsu City in Osaka Prefecture, which is the subject of this study, are expected to become walkable urban areas because the two tracks of the JR line and the Hankyu line run parallel to each other, and the two stations face each other. In this study, Chapter 2 first grasps the situation of the target area from the history of station formation and urban planning. Chapter 3 analyzes the width and length of roads and compares the characteristics of seven municipalities. Chapter 4 analyzes the location of commercial, medical, and welfare facilities, and public facilities, using Takatsuki and Ibaraki, which have similar town divisions and commercial areas between the two stations. We captured a pattern in which commercial areas are in a straight line on a wide road, and patterns in which facilities are located in a narrow road area.
