Abstract: In this study, the functions of community store are grasped using two analytical methods: location analysis and an analysis of its management situation. Measurements of access distance revealed that the existence of community store ensures access to shopping facilities within walking range for approximately 9,000 people. Interview surveys of community stores revealed that operating at a loss was an issue. Non-participant observation survey revealed that community stores have function as a source of information for the local community, a consultation function for local problems, and a welfare support function such as monitoring residents.
