Analysis of the Competitive and Complementary Relationship about Destination Places for Living Activities

A Case Study of Nichinan Town, Tottori Prefecture

Abstract

I analyzed the competitive and complementary relationship among destination places of each living activity in Nichinan Town, Tottori Prefecture by applying a logistic regression analysis. As a result, it has become clear that the relationship among destination places is complementary in many cases and it is important to support rural residents by enriching delivery services and demand-based traffic services. Furthermore, as members of the households, in which 80 or more years old residents are living, also visit at the central districts of the town, maintenance of the access conditions to the central districts for these residents is important.
