In Japan, the merit of installing LRT (Light Rail Transit) is well known, however the introduction of LRT to urban areas is not making progress. To study effective strategies of LRT adaption, field surveys were conducted at cities where LRT systems were placed in Spain with data collection of urban characteristics adjacent conditions, accommodating spatial conditions, effectiveness of service and project management. This paper aims to clarify the specific requirements to make LRT adaption possible. The results indicate, beyond the need for middle range transportation systems, the importance of the following: potential contribution to inner city revitalization, environmental concerns, land use conditions and spatial composition needed by adjacent businesses.
