Administrators concerned with aging and social gerontologists share a growing interest in so-called"familiar areas", that is, places where the elderly have been living for a long time and have prolonged social relations. Government policies now aim to provide social services based on this concept.However, there is no clear definition of the concept of"familiar areas". For example, there is little awareness of the following points: 1) What is the spatial range of the "familiar area"?; 2) What is the basis for this new expectation that the elderly should live and be cared for in"familiar areas"?; and 3) How will the"familiar area"idea, and the residential preferences of the elderly, change in the future?To clarify these three points, the authors surveyed the spatial range of daily out-of-home activities and social relations of the elderly, which in this research is referred to as life space. Second, the authors asked the elderly whether they expect to continue living in the present place (area). Third, the relationship between the spatial range of the life space and attributes of respondents were examined. For the study area, Koshigaya city, Saitama prefecture, a Tokyo Metropolitan suburb, was selected because of the rapid increase of the elderly there, in combination with great changes in the attributes of the elderly population that appear to be occurring simultaneously. In the survey, a questionnaire for both elderly wives and husbands was employed.The findings can be summarized as follows:(1) In the case of two-thirds of the respondents, the life space of the elderly is limited to the local area, including the neighboring cities as well as Koshigaya City. Others visit with some frequency the remainder of the Tokyo Metropolitan area outside Koshigaya City.(2) Groups with higher academic credentials, professional or clerical careers, and immigration experiences from non metropolitan areas, tend to expand their life space beyond the local area. Therefore, the authors can assume that the changing attributes of the elderly population in the future will be accompanied by an expansion of life space. People who expand their life space beyond the local area tend to develop far fewer connections to their local area. Thus, the authors anticipate a future crisis for the group that lacks local social relations because, as the elderly age, it is difficult to maintain mobility.(3) Although most elderly persons wish to continue to live in the local area, only about a half of those people who moved to the area in their later days indicate an attachment to the new local area. So, there is no denying a growing tendency for the elderly to either lose or even fail to develop an attachment to the local area, raising questions about their commitment to continue living there.(4) Consequently, the approach that the elderly should be cared and supported for in a"familiar area"is considered to be a proper one for government policy. It is important for the realization of this policy, however, that in order for it to be effective it must identify a means of nurturing the social relations between the elderly and the environment in which they dwell.

This paper tries to evaluate the usefulness of the time-geographic approach by analyzing mar-ried women's participation in the labor market and identifying the obstacles which keep married women from working.<br> In section II, after a brief review of key concepts in time geography, we consider the important underlying concepts of time geography at some length. These include: 1) a strong concern with the quality of life and with social welfare, which is reflected in the ensuring of alternatives for the handicapped; 2) a tendency to see people not in the aggregated ones but as individuals; 3) a targe-ted level of analysis upon midway between micro- and macro-scale; and 4) emphasis upon con-straints rather than on demands or preferences.<br> With these characteristics in mind, the daily lives of married women were scrutinized in detail to clarify the obstacles to their participation in the labor market. Data used for the analysis were taken from a space-time budget survey of all household members above fifteen years old living in Shimosuwa Town, Nagano Prefecture (Table 1). In considering the factors affecting married women's labor force participation, our focus is upon the life stage of the housewives, households structure, and private automobile ownership.<br> Married women with infants suffer strong constraints on their daily lives (Fig. 1), which are <br> loosened as children grow up. For example, women with children enough old to be cared for in day nurseries would be able to work from nine in the morning to three in the afternoon, usually on a part-time basis. Escorting children to and from day nursery imposes &ldquo;markers&rdquo; in time geo-graphic language upon the mothers; between these markers a free time &ldquo;window&rdquo; is available(Fig. 2). When children are primary or junior high school pupils, a longer time window is available to their mothers, which enables them to work for a much longer time. Married women in households with no children or with children of high school age or above can easily participate in the labor market (Fig. 5). Cooking and washing dishes on weekdays remain unavoidable household chores, and the residual time tends to be discretionary to the wives. If the family lives with either the husband's or the wife's parents, sometimes these grandparents may help the wives to care for the young children and enable them to work outside the home (Fig. 3). But this does not apply to every household, nor can every extended household get such help from the grand parents (Fig. 4). Therefore, supplying day-long nursery care service or infant care service seems a more effective way to help working women.

The purposes of this paper are to grasp the spatial structure of retail activities in the Tokyo commuting area and to consider its structure from a view point of activity space. In order to delimit the study area where commuting flows to the downtown Tokyo are dominant, principal component analysis was applied to commuting flow OD matrix of the Kanto Region.<br> By factor analysis on the geographical matrix of cities by workers of each retailing sectors, three factors were extracted and they were interpreted as "eating and drinking services, " "shopping goods sales" and "convenience goods sales" (Table 1). Cluster analysis was adopted to find seven types of cities in retailing activities (Fig. 2). These seven types were regrouped to three major groups, namely, CBD location group, commercial center location group, and residential area location group. The commercial location group is developed along the commuter lines, especially in sub-centers and in suburban centers. The residential location group forms three concentric zones (Figs. 3 and 4).<br> The concept of "wedge shaped activity space" is based on consumer behavior and space cognition. It is useful to explain the spatial structure of retail activity in areas where coreoriented preference of inhabitants is quite notable. The metropolitan dominance in retailing and superiority of intervening opportunities on traffic link nodes were recognized.
