This paper analyzes the living environment and the behavior of the elderly in three areas in Tokyo, and considers how the regional differences and the characteristics of the living environment affect the behavior of the elderly. Three areas surveyed are Setagaya Ward, which typifies Tokyo's residential area, Taito Ward, which represents a traditional working-class neighborhood of Tokyo, and Higashi-Kurume and Kiyose, which are Tokyo's suburban cities. A questionnaire interview was administered to the residents aged 65 and over in respective areas. Samples totaled 826. The contents of this paper may be summarized as follows : 1) The elderly's characteristics differ according to their past occupations, living arrangements, and the length of residence at the present domicile. 2) The integration and participation in their neighborhood are influenced by their past occupations. The elderly in Taito Ward, whose past occupations were self-employed workers in family businesses, maintain close ties with the community. 3) Satisfaction in the sense of belonging depends strongly on their continuous residence in the same area. When continuous residence is guaranteed, integration and participation in the community activities are accentuated.
