Abstract

This paper discusses the structural behavior of users' sphere(range of users' activities) from viewpoint of rural libraries' service levels. We have investigated and analyzed 16 libraries. Some user groups , which are classified according to their affiliation and generation, are influenced by the number of libraries in their neighboring area and/or the service of library. The groups of homemakers taking with their family, which account for a large part of users, fundamentally go to their local library. But there are no libraries in their neighborhood, they apt to choose a well-stocked library. The other group of adult men, which have wide sphere of activities, regard libraries' service as most important. We may, therefore, reasonably conclude that the service levels should be given great importance in case of planning to regional facilities.
