“IBASHO”在日本的意思是一个地方，人们可以感到安全，有角色，并认识到他们的生活是有意义的。如果IBASHO帮助老年人认识到他们的生活是有意义的，在社区实施“IBASHO”可能有助于社区成员的客观福祉。本研究探讨了组成“IBASHO”的活动与老年人客观幸福感之间的关系。从2009年到2019年，每两年对一个边缘化社区进行一次调查，收集了数据（Nf882）。进行多元回归分析。从一个调查问题中得出的六点量表测量了老年人的客观福祉作为因变量。为了测量“IBASHO”，五个项目询问了“举办茶会”或“举办爱好研讨会”等活动的参与程度，使用五点量表测量参与程度。这五个项目的总分（克朗巴赫α = 0.860）作为独立变量进行分析。性别、年龄、经济状况、健康状况和独居也包括在分析中。结果显示，在完整模型中，“IBASHO”活动是老年人客观幸福感的重要预测因素（p <0.000）。年龄、经济状况和健康状况也与幸福感显著相关。研究结果表明，在社区环境中实施“IBASHO”与社区老年人的福祉水平较高有关。“IBASHO”是实现日本“不让一个人掉队”政策的关键。
“IBASHO” in Japan means a place where people can feel safe, have roles, and recognize their lives as meaningful. If IBASHO helps older adults to see their lives as meaningful, implementing “IBASHO” in the community would possibly contribute to community members’ objective well-being. This research examines the relationship between the activities that make up “IBASHO” and the objective well-being of older adults. Data were gathered by surveying a marginalized community every two years from 2009 to 2019 (Nf882). Multiple regression analysis was conducted. A six-point scale derived from a survey question measured the objective well-being of older adults as the dependent variable. For measuring “IBASHO,” five items asked about engagement in activities such as “hosting a tea meeting” or “holding a hobby workshop,” with the extent of engagement measured using a five-point scale. The total of these five items’ points (Cronbach’s alpha=.860) was analyzed as an independent variable. Gender, age, economic status, health status, and living alone were also included in the analysis. Results show “IBASHO” activity is a significant predictor of the objective well-being of older adults (p < .000) in the full model. Age, economic status, and health status are also significantly associated with well-being. Findings suggest that implementing “IBASHO” within community settings is associated with higher levels of well-being among older adults in the community. “IBASHO” is crucial to realizing the “no one left behind” policy in Japan.
