| Research Abstract |
From an interview survey of elderly people in the urban, suburban and depopulated regions of the Keihanshin (Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe) metropolitan area, the process by which local identities of elderly people are formed was delineated, and based on differences in the natural and social environment as well as in the attributes of elderly people in the surveyed region, the community forms and welfare services that elderly people require in local life were investigated. In particular, local identities of elderly people are formed through various local activities, and the survey verified the extent to which these identities influence the"now"of elderly people whose lives are based in local areas.
