About 40 years ago, the project connected among five main Akinada Islands with eight bridges was planned. The seventh bridge was opened on 18th December 2008.
We could have a chance of a survey on island resident's consciousness about effects of bridge construction on their lives in islands.
Therefore, this paper investigates life environments and traffic behaviors before opening of a bridge. Obtained main results are summarized as follows: (1) Average
travel time in island is 15 minutes per one trip, shorter than in urban area. (2) The number of trips in island is 3.7 in a week and out of island is 1.22. (3) Island residents
are afraid of negative effects of bridge construction.
