Among all the industrialized countries, Japan has the fastest rate of population aging and the highest life expectancy at birth. It is projected that the proportion of elderly people will reach 35.7&#37 in 2050. In this demographic environment, Japan launched a social insurance program for long-term care for the elderly in 2000. What were the forces that led Japan to establish a long-term care ...

In response to the declining population and aging infrastructure in Japan, local governments are implementing compact city policies form of location normalization plans. To optimize reorganization urban public infrastructure, it is important provide detailed accurate forecasts distribution populations households. However, several do not have necessary data forecasting capability. Moreover, curr...

The algorithmic design of an architectural configuration depends on one's ability to compare the merit of different solutions quantitatively, in order to decide which design is superior. We propose a merit function that accounts for the amount of view from a given unit and its accessibility to other units. The amount of view is measured as the size of the spatial region visible from the center ...
