| Research Abstract |
The objects of this research are to evaluate the health promotion program processes based on a review of the elderly in in the communities, implemented in areas adjacent to Sapporo City, using action research, and quantitatively and qualitatively to verify long-term effects. Originally, participation by the citizens was obligatory. However, regional activities were proactively created for participation, overcoming an increase in the sense of danger, sharing problems, increased mutual interaction, and feuds between the citizens. Comparing the "intervention areas" and the "control areas", the activities of the volunteers (p=0.047) and the communication with neighbors (p=0.057) became more active. Even in the interviews conducted with the residents and the administration, and others, the strengthening of regional bonds and the promotion of social participation were cited as examples of their effectiveness.
