In addition, in recent years, an increase in vacant houses has become an issue all over Japan due to population decrease and the aging population. There is also concern that the number of vacant houses will increase in central urban areas. In this research, we grasped the actual conditions of vacant houses in central urban areas and analyzed location trends in the target 5 city. We investigated the vacant houses in each central urban area and after land use of disappeared vacant house, and analyzed the location trend of vacant houses about the following three points; “Distance to station", "Road contact condition”, and "Building area". we can mention to the tendency of vacant houses location is the house which is located far from station, have contact with narrow road, and have relatively small building area.
