Hearing and on-site observations were held as for 4 persons. As results, Keeping eyes upon them were seen as informal supports. Places of them have changed from inhabitants' gathering spaces, aging of members. Local relationships and continuity of the places of coexistences are backgrounds of the informal supports.
