I found that there are tools which is called "Network Analysis", but it seems not fit for my purpose. This tool looks like about the "routing problem", rather than just creating shortest distance.

Please look my base analyzation layer below. It consists of "road" layer, and "facility point" layer.

What I wanna create is the uclidean distance from every single link to the nearest facility of it.

So I think it should be conducted through two steps : Identifying the nearest facility from each links - and Calculating the uclidean distance between each pairs(link-facility). The criterion of judjing distance is not my major concern, so I don't care about it(ex : central point of link to facility, or the nearest node of link to facility, whatever).

Or if there is a function that support this process at once, it would be very great...but I don't think it exist.

So I would be very appreciate if someone tell me how to do such processes.

You can use Near tool on your links (roads?) with your facility points as the Near Features.

you say you  "wanna create the Euclidean distance from every link to nearest facility.

the Generate Origin-Destination Links tool does just that.

Cool...thank you. With these two functions I can do what I want.
