First, in this analysis, normal nouns/proper nouns about things that exists in these areas are extracted. Subsequently, the survey is conducted so that a noun resembling an image of each noun is selected from these extracted nouns. The thing that a rate remembered is high can be identified from these survey data. The characteristics of the structure of the area-image are also made clear by making the image maps in which the relation of resemblance degree in an image of things is posi-tioned. By considering these characteristics, a fundamental subject in a future plan of railroad along the line is further-more mentioned.
