“…Furthermore, our study is different from the previous research in that its viewpoint is not a single facility's function, but the functional system of facilities in a particular area. In a previous study of an under-populated and ageing area, Tobari et al (2001) clarified the structures of the living environments of elderly people in an agricultural and mountainous area from the viewpoint of 'Chien' (community ties). Sugawara (2006) focused on community function and management in an ageing mountainous area.…”

Abstract:The provision of housing for the elderly remains a key issue in every ageing society. In contrast, day centres for the elderly have not been given the same level of attention. However, day centres for the elderly are expected to play a more important role in global ageing populations, since keeping the care-needing elderly living in their own homes with proper care services has become part of the mainstream social care vision. Particularly in the kinds of under-populated and ageing areas that are increasing in ageing countries, the lack of day service provision causes direct inconvenience to elderly residents. Focusing on the case of a moderately mountainous area in Japan, where a care system centred on the public hospital has been established, in this paper the discussion focuses on systems of elderly care and the roles they play, by examining the overall picture of the elderly who use such centres.

Over the past 30 years, environment and behavior research in Japan has paralleled the international growth of the field. Unfortunately, despite noteworthy periodic efforts to cross-culturally bridge language barriers between English- and Japanese-speaking researchers, public policy makers, planning and design practitioners, and students specializing in this subject area, significant communication obstacles persist. In response, a literature review is presented of recent research in Japan on the subject of environment and aging. The review spans a 17-year period (1985-2002). The objective is to enhance international communication, stimulate collaborative work, and foster appreciation of the broad parameters of the dramatic trends in aging occurring globally.
