This paper aims to create a compact living area that does not depend solely on the city center or roadside. Thus, this study clarifies the actual conditions of facility use by suburban residents when traveling short distances by railway and the characteristics of users of such facilities in nearby stations. We conducted association analysis, regression tree analysis, and correspondence analysis by text mining for the analysis using questionnaires for residents of Hirakata and Neyagawa cities. The results show that several people already use nearby facilities by rail, and these facilities are not limited to extensive commercial facilities. There is a tendency that certain types of facilities can promote the use of other facilities.
