Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: This paper investigates various policies improving transport and everyday services for the aged in depopulated communities. A questionnaire survey is carried out for all citizens in a community where the aged ratio is 56.8%. A QOL indicator is proposed to evaluate transportation and the other everyday services for elderly people in the depopulated area. A cause and effect relationship among each policy is obtained by application of co-variance structure analysis. Moreover, a tradeoff between transportation service and other everyday services is analyzed using conjoint analysis.
