Although each city is considering Urban Functional Zone in the Location Optimization Plan, the examination considering the impact on vitality is not permeated. The purpose of this research is to present a practical analysis method that can grasp the influence of the structure of the urban area on the vitality of the city, such as the human's travel/activity. Targeting around three stations in Saitama City, we combined and analyzed data from existing basic survey of city planning and person trip surveys, etc. As a result, we were able to confirm that it is a practical analytical method that grasps the effect of vitality that cannot be understood only from land use and the influence of guidance facilities on the surroundings.
