The aims of this study are to estimate the necessary number and to decide the optimum location of hierarchical day facilities for the elderly in Suwa-Nagayama district, Tama New Town. The population of this area is estimated to be about 20,000 in 2020 and a large number of day facilities should be needed; the upper level -3.7, the middle -12.3 and the lower -18.2. Provided we plan to utilize the existing facilities for children on locating day facilities, the latter facilities should replace almost all the former. Fixing capacity of facilities causes split of the service area of them.
