| Research Abstract |
This paper is about a pilot program entitled "Let's think of ourselves 10 years from now (future blueprint: future tree)" which targeted middle-aged and older women in a new residential area. We conducted a year long continuous evaluation of the program which applied several methods including questionnaires and interviews at home. We found positive effects in participants on : 1) changes in their recognition about their relationships with neighbors ; 2) maintenance and improvement of QOL ; and 3) proactive health improvement activities in their community. Thus we confirmed that the program is beneficial in improving health and regional development at the same time.
