Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined how to harmonize and revitalize both "cyberspace" and "realspace" through online use toward the new era after the spread of COVID-19 from various perspectives. Ultimately, we presented a new concept of Workplace Management (WM) for fusing virtual cyberspace and real space with high quality. In this analysis, we considered the differences in values based on generation, and also the impact of differences in individual consciousness (emotion). The disparities surrounding activities are rather widening in both spaces. We were able to demonstrate the need for policy responses which correspond to diversifying individuals for the first time.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の実施期間はCOVID-19の感染拡大期間に重なり、はからずも実空間からサイバー空間への社会的転換を直接計測することができた。この情報は記録というだけでも大きな社会的意義を有する。あわせて価値観の多様化を踏まえた検討、転居や地方移住などの実空間での変質を透視図法的に重ね合わせることにより、今後多大な発展が期待される「リアル」「サイバー」研究の基盤となる学術論文を複数公表することができた。
