Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have systematized measures to manage cities, which have fallen into lifestyle-related diseases due to declining population by the perspective of biomimetics. Specifically, we clarified the logical construction and mechanism for social rehabilitation by "improvement of constitution" instead of "camphor". Coincidentally, the implementation of this research overlaps with the spread of COVID-19 infection, so we could consider the impact of that as well. In particular, we are conducting analyzes of the latest personal traffic behavior and online activity data with statistical reliability. As a result of these analyses, we also presented a healing and rehabilitation policy for the area which declines along with the systematization of the x-minute city concept.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

新自由主義に基づく競争型社会がもたらした都市や地域における多くの負の側面に対し、協調型社会の創出が求められている。本研究では生物の生命体を維持するための様々な創意工夫をまちづくりの中に取り入れることで、誰にでもわかりやすい協調型まちづくりの展開を行ううえでの基礎情報を提示した。あわせてそれらの成果を政府の関連する審議会等へ情報提供することで、関連制度の改善において実際に参考とされた。
