Research Abstract

This research project has confirmed that the effectiveness of the use of American Human Development Index to assess social and economic situation in developed countries including Japan. Also, the pilot survey on life feelings at the community level in Hyogo has helped us to understand key elements of good or bad life. We have identified that one future research issue is to develop an index from the viewpoint of people's well-beings.
