| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many developed countries are faced with the rapid aging of their populations and as a result, they have encountered severe problems. Mutual support and cooperation in neighborhoods and communities are essential for solving these problems. However, effective intervention strategies aimed at increasing older adults’ social networks have not yet been established.
The present study examined whether a university-led community intervention that provided communication opportunities could increase older Japanese adults’ neighborhood social networks. The present study found that participants of the intervention expanded their neighborhood social network, but non-participants did not. Additionally, we successfully measured face-to-face interactions by using wearable sensors, and identified conditions and changes in communication networks, and we developed a method of statistical testing to evaluate a program to promote communication among residents.
