“…Even when their market value is not low, children might not want to inherit them because they reside far from their houses or already have their own houses (Nishiyama 2018). When a parent gives his/her home to a child and the child leaves it without living or utilizing it, the house becomes vacant (Takada and Nozawa 2018).…”

In detached housing estates in the suburbs of Tokyo, increasing vacancies in inherited houses have become a problem. This study aimed to assess the risk of vacant house generation and identify risk factors through analyses focusing on parent-child discussions. A questionnaire survey of parents in Koma-Musashidai, Saitama Prefecture, and their children who lived apart regarding their future intentions of inheritance of the parents' houses using cross and logistic regression analyses revealed that 66.5% of the parent-child pairs had had no discussion, 20.5% had different impressions of the results of the discussion, and 7.8% were at high risk of producing vacant houses. Furthermore, the analyses identified the factors associated with parents' intention to bequeath their houses: discussions with their children, old age, high age of the house, lack of proactive measures, anxiety about renting, and stronger community attachment; and the factors associated with children's intention to leave their parents' houses: inadequate discussions with their parents, home ownership, and lack of relationships with neighbors. These results suggest that it could be beneficial to encourage parents and children to participate together in seminars and consult with experts before parents become older to reduce the risk of vacant houses.

The purpose of this study is to clarify methods to make administration works to identify owners of vacant houses smooth. We conducted interview surveys to eight local governments in Hokkaido and illustrated flow of the works. As a result, the following four points were organized as highly versatile ingenuities.1. Collaboration with public health sectors is effective.2. It is effective to request the certificate to owners who have abandoned the inheritance.3. It is effective to utilize the contract information of water services. 4. Establishing a system for neighbors to carry out the investigation to identify owners is effective.
