This model studied the travel time, cost, and means of transportation of care providers. The pre-survey results regarding elderly tele-nursing show that a son/daughter can visit a parent more than once a week. In the results, the time required for elderly tele-nursing was influenced by whether or not the visitor uses the shinkansen （bullet train of Japan）. In the main survey, based on 40 questionnaires, clear differences were observed according to whether visits were “every two weeks” or “once per month”. Furthermore, this result was also indicated by t-tests.展开更多

However, many of them are used at low levels, and there remain very few known public open spaces. In this research, we set up a resting place to demonstrate the effect of elements and placement in order to obtain knowledge for appropriately managing and utilizing such low use open public spaces. The survey means analyzed the presence/absence of the attraction/retention degree based on the cross-sectional traffic volume by video analysis and a hearing questionnaire survey for the users of the resting place. From the results, we have found that placement methods and effects that exceed the expectation value of each element, regionality, and attachment, occur by continuing experiments.展开更多

In this paper, the authors proposed a method to analyze trait of users in market areas near stations by analyzing location based social network. After the datum collection from geotagged tweets, these GPS （global positioning system） datum were plotted to map attained from yahoo open location platform. Then the morphological analysis and terminology extraction system extracted the keywords and their scores. After calculating the distance from stations and users＇ GPS coordination, the authors extracted the array of keywords and corresponding scores in some station market area. Lastly, ratios of all users＇ scores and city＇s scores were calculated to examine the locality. Full combination of data collection, natural language processing and visualization enabled the authors to envisage distribution of collective background in city.展开更多
