The authors analyzed the result of a food-consumption survey, executed in Hirao-cho, Yamaguchi prefecture, and then classified into several groups to do the nutritional education in the communities. The results are followings: (1) The similarities between six groups in the town were shown with Deviation Pattern Similarity (DPS). (2) Applying the cluster analysis to the DPS matrix, three clusters were found out; that is, group A, B, and C. (3) Each cluster has its own life style and different environment. Concerning the food consumption, group C shows so-called conservative pattern ; group B consumed not so much amount of rice and seemed to orient toward non-conservative dietary style; and group A has intermediate pattern. (4) Community nutrition activity needs the methodology to get the characteristics of the local groups. These procedure is one of the effective approaches to promote the activities.
