Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the location of residential houses and their environment for daily life. This study was conducted in the area surrounding the CBD of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Following are some highlights of this research results.<br>First, We can see a clear separation between residential areas and commercial ones at the ground floor level. This distinction is provided by the urban zoning plan of local government.<br>Second, the environment is protected by the following factors: (1) Residential areas have special safety street systems (e. g. barrier or mini-park) for pedestrians. Through these measures, cars cannot go through the barriers, while on the other hand, it is very easy for pedestrians to pass through. (2) The residential areas have fine parks, and views of the beach and surrounding mountains. These environmental aspects are very valuable for residents who live in these areas. (3) There is good accessibility to a wide range of institutions for daily life (e. g. supermarkets, retail shops, restaurants and so on). All residents who live in the West End can reach these institutions within a ten minutes walk.
