Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many developed countries are faced with the rapid aging of their populations and as a result, they have encountered sever problems. For example, in Japan, which has the most rapidly aging society in the world, the number of households consisting only of elderly couples, and households with elderly people living alone have increased annually. The number of elderly people dying alone , as well as requests to search for missing persons that have disappeared, possible due to dementia-related wandering have increased to approximately 10,000 people annually. Moreover, problems in responding to elderly people facing emergencies have been focused in recent years. Mutual support and cooperation in neighborhoods, and communities are essential for solving these problems and for allowing elderly people to live free from worry. In this study, we developed and conducted programs to enhance the interest in community involvement and promote social networks among community-dwelling people.
