Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the study was to do basic researches for building community support- systems in order to support elderly men living alone in villages at risk of disappearing. The interview was done with 23 elderly men living alone in four villages. The other interview was also conducted with staffs in government and community support center to hear about current status and problems of senior citizen welfare services. As a result, the elderly men living alone tended to be isolated due to their limited-relationship with their children, grandchildren, brother or sister and so on. It is also clarified that they were living with both anxiety for health and easiness of single blessedness. Thus, promotion of establishing the community support system utilizing advantages of both being the elderly and community characteristics is an issue in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の意義は,地域支援システムの構築ができれば,1度は生まれ育った地域を離れた子どもたちが,定年退職後に再び故郷に戻り定住することが可能となり,定住することで人口減少が抑えられると考える.また,1人暮らし男性高齢者の課題である孤立や孤独死などの問題解決並びに近隣住民との人間関係のあり方など,具体的な支援方法の提案ができると考える.
