A number of local municipalities in Japan are faced to consider effective use of financial resources because of aged assets and limited revenues. Even primary schools are located in each district, low occupancy rate and the same function between district center are the great issue. This paper deals with effective use of public facility, especially primary schools in Ota-ward, and attempts to clarify whether primary school and district center should be consolidated at the renewal stage or not. The paper firstly reviews the physical context of schools and district centers, followed by the cost-effective analysis of renewals. As a consequence, effective use of primary schools should be considered under the estimated population and renewal timing, also accessibility should be carefully handled to decide the locations.
