Formation of giant planets along the standard model is considered in the innermost region of protoplanetary nebulae where turbulence has already decayed. Preference of quiescent nebulae is discussed. It is shown that if dust material enough to form a core with about ten times Earth mass and the corresponding amount of gas exist in the innermost region, a giant planet with mass somewhat larger than our Jupiter can form there.
