The goal of this study was to investigate the degree of healthy community through evaluating the community environment, community organization and vigor, community services by using a scale for measuring healthy community, and to investigate the effect of degree of healthy community on residential people. 　 　In addition to the scale for measuring healthy community, another telephone interviewing questionnaire is also developed to retrieve the response of residential people. There are 232 local officer respond to the first self-administered questionnaire, and 820 valid telephone interview questionnaire completed in 2004 to 2005. Results shows that the higher the degree of healthy community, the more residential people reply the sufficiency of leisure facilities hold in the community, and the more completeness of no-barrier environment. On the contrary, the lower the degree of healthy community, the more residential people respond that the public transportation system is convenient. 　 　Further analysis is done by using factor analysis.
