Abstract
As people buy daily foods at the super-market recently, many small neighborhood stores were shut. But neighborhood stores have some important functions for the community. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of the neighborhood store for the elderly generation people. Three methods of surveys were taken for this study; 1) a survey to the dwellers in the mini-housing development in 1960s,2)a survey to the customers of the store in the area, 3)an observational research of customers in the store. The results are as follows. Main customers of neighborhood stores are elderly generation people and they live very near the store. People who enjoy chatting (or communicate with) neighbors in the store like shopping at the neighborhood store.
