Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to support the life in rural areas, it is necessary not only to provide local transport service but also delivery service such as food supply by vehicle. Especially for elderly, the usability of each service is different by their physical functioning. In this study, we develop the method to evaluate the usability according to the functioning with focusing on the shopping activity, and conduct the case study. Also we investigate the restructure the services in order to provide them jointly. Specifically we point out that the food delivery service with public-private partnership can be the promising service.
