Abstract
Going with the rapid urbanization in recent years, there are many arguments about problems of life environment in the metropolitan area. Most of them were treated as a separate element of life environment because of its varieties. In this study, life environment as a whole unit for the cities along the Tokaido, Joban and Takasaki Lines was discussed. Environmental changes of separate elements and environmental characteristics in each city were studied. Environmental conditions were deteriorated in terms of comfort around 1980, whereas other elements remained in the level. Environmental characteristics were affected by local social conditions and distance to Tokyo. Although there are still many problems to treat environmental conditions as a whole unit at the present time, this method is believed to get important more and more in the future.
