Outline of Final Research Achievements

I studied the present conditions of the distribution system around the depopulated area in Tohoku district, Chugoku district and Hokkaido and examined the development possibility of the distribution system that I could apply in the low demand area including the movement sale car. I investigated the actual situation of the movement sale car which co-op Sapporo ran in Hokkaido and analyzed its operation systems and cost structure. I examined how local commerce revived while a population decline went ahead through the tsunami stricken area of the East Japan great earthquake disaster in the Tohoku district. I considered how elderly people secure their own buying channels in temporary housing and examined the actual situation of the movement sale car in their areas to serve elderly people.
