Effect of a introduction of computer telecommunication network system into social welfare administration for aged persons in mountainous area

日本不是老龄化社会，而是老龄化社会。山区的情况更为严重，有许多地方公共机构已经成为超老龄化社会。他们需要为老年人采取措施，改善新的福利环境。他们中的一些人将尝试将电信网络系统引入社会福利政策。本研究的主要目的是了解和讨论利用电信网络系统、老年人的计算机素养、改善人口减少地区的福利和交通信息的福利管理。因此，本研究采用家访、问卷调查、地理信息收集等访谈调查方法进行分析。取得的主要成果如下：(1)广岛市94个地方自治团体中有48个已经建立了自己的主页，其中17个开放了老年人福利信息，如老年人更多的探访照顾、日间服务和短期停留服务。(2)山区铁路、专车、村车之间的班次和路线调整完全没有考虑。今后要推进广域城乡融合，就必须研究山区综合交通政策。(3)为了提高老年人的计算机素养，开发和完善适合老年人的硬件和软件是很自然的。并从教学方法、学生对计算机态度的时代性变化、学生想要的信息内容等方面进行探讨。(4)老年人对日常生活信息的需求大于对非日常生活信息的需求。他们尤其需要有关健康和福利的信息。对他们来说，通过计算机网络自己收集更多的信息是很重要的。先进的信息系统介入，以提高他们的老年生活。(5)山区地方公共机构在老年人健康管理中引入的老年人健康管理系统，很多居民都经常使用。但在衡量山区社会福利政策的效益时，CVM对该政策的估计值较低，影响支付意愿的因素有收入、政策知识和年龄。少

Japan is not an aging society but an aged society. The situation in mountainous area is more serious and there are many local public bodies where have become a super aged society. They need to take measures for aged persons and improve new welfare circumstance. Some of them will try to introduce telecommunication network system into social welfare policy. The main objectives of this study are to understand and discuss the welfare administration by means of telecommunication network system, computer literacy of aged persons, improvement of information about welfare and transport in depopulated area.

If wide area amalgamation of city, town and village were promoted in future, we must research on comprehensive transportation policy in mountainous area.(3) In order to enhance the computer literacy of aged persons, it is natural to develop and improve the hardware and software suitable for aged persons. And we could find out the methods for teaching to operate a computer to them, temporal change of their attitude of a computer, desirable information contents for them and so on.(4) Aged persons tend to want the information about daily life rather than non-daily. They need the information about health and welfare in particular. It is important for them to gather more information by themselves through computer network. Ant the advanced system of information is intervened to enhance their aged life.(5) Many residents have used often the system, which local public bodies in mountainous area introduce into management of health for aged persons. But it is important to measure the benefit of social welfare policy in mountainous area, the estimated values of that policy by CVM are low and factors influencing willingness to pay are income, knowledge of the policy and age.
