Outline of Final Research Achievements

Broadening community areas is an important element in supporting sustained development of a diverse range of super-regional blocks in Japan. To do so, there is a need to secure infrastructure with incentives to enter the community network that produce synergy effects between production and consumption. This paper discusses the notion that forming wide community areas through improved service at existing infrastructure leads to more vital regional communities. In particular, the paper 1) improved service and infrastructure as a lead-in to new lifestyles, 2) building a household’s behavior choice model considering a woman, and 3) forming wide community areas based on residential location of child-rearing households.
