The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual conditions and issues of living goods management in housing management. In the majority of cases, people own and store a lot of things. The percentage of such people is less than half only in the 50-and-under age group. More than 60% of households have inconveniences regarding the possession and storage of goods, regardless of age or household situation. On the other hand, people are aware of the need to sort out and clean up things in the house such as clothing, albums / photos, and books before they become too old to do so. However, in reality, people tend to put off organizing and tidying up making it increasingly difficult to proceed. Awareness of various systems and services related to living goods management such as community and school bazaars and purchase services is high among those under 50 and pre-seniors. Late-stage elderly people who have many possessions in their homes that are not well maintained is problematic. There is a need for a regional system that provides comprehensive consultation and support regarding housing and maintenance for the elderly, and arranges and disposes of living goods.
