In this study, we analyzed the relationship between built environment and marriage / birth behavior using Web questionnaire survey data for the Tokyo metropolitan area. Statistical control and longitudinal design were used in the analysis to consider self-selection based on individual preferences. From the statistical control analysis, the relationship between car use and marital behavior was influenced by individual preferences for car use, but the relationship with single-family homes, no such effect was observed. The relationship between single-family homes and birth behavior was influenced by individual preferences for single-family homes, but the relationships with car use and proximity to train stations were not significant. From the longitudinal design analysis, we found the relationships between living environment, transportation mode and the marriage behavior, and between built environment and birth behavior.
