Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we define tourism activity ability as the ability to enjoy sightseeing without feeling fatigue from the previous day. A sightseeing tour was conducted with elderly people aged 65 and over as subjects. Principal component analysis was performed on the data measured as objective and subjective indices, and tourism activity ability was derived. In addition, we conducted a questionnaire survey on changes in awareness of tourism by knowing one's own tourism activity ability. Although the results of the questionnaire survey showed almost no statistically significant difference, the results indicated that targeting elderly people with health concerns may promote tourism trips.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高齢者の体力や生活活動力に関連した研究は行われてはいるが、観光地での歩行やバイタルサインからその行動力の導出を試みた研究はほとんど見当たらない。体力や生活活動力のみの把握では、実際の観光巡りができるかどうか判断がつかない。本研究は、従来の高齢者の身体的評価指標に、観光行動力という新たな指標を追加提案し、観光旅行の推進に貢献するものである。
