Regional Distribution of Welfare Facilities for the Elderly and Regional Settlement System

1.本文试图通过对医疗设施和福利设施的分布研究，分析其分布格局与区域聚落体系的空间关系。他想研究一个合理的设施区域分布模式。本文选取了岩手县、宫城县、三重县和佐贺县四个县作为研究对象。他划分了居民的通勤区、学者的参与区和日常购买行为区，并将城市中心及其城市势力范围划分为高、中、低三级。其次，统计了每个城市中心及其周边地区的医疗设施数量。医院的数量和住院病人的接待能力，从总体上反映了城市中心区的人口规模和影响范围，城市中心区医疗设施的质量和数量，按照结算制度，由高层次、多数量向低层次、小数量排列。从中心到周边的空间排列模式被假设为五种类型.老年人公益设施选址在温泉度假村的情况很多，还有一些情况是气候和迷人的景观是与设施选址相关的因素。

1. The author attempts to research the distribution of medical facilities and welfare facilities, and to analyze the spatial relation between their distribution pattern and regional settlement system. He wishes to investigate for a reasonable model of regional distrbution of the facilities.2. Four prefectures are selected as examples ; They are Iwate, Miyagi, Mie and Saga.3. He delineats the commuter zones of inhabitants, the attending zones of scholars, and the zones of their daily purchasing behavior, and then urban centers and their urban spheres of influence are classified into three orders of higher, secondary and lower. Next the numbers of medical facilities located to each urban center and its environ are countered.4. the number of hospitals and their reception capacity of inpatients reflects the population size of urban centers and their spheres of influence in general.The quality and quantity of medical facilities at urban centers are arranged from high level and large in number to low level and small, accrding to the settlement system. The pattern of spatial arrangement in order from a center to its surroundings are hypothetically classified into five types.5. There are many cases in which the public welfare facilities for the elderly are located at hot spring resorts, and in other cases, climate and fascinating landscape are the factors related to the location of the facilities.
