The purpose of this study is to consider how to increase students’ inclination of regional settlement, based on the statistical analysis of surveys took in the community-oriented courses, called COC+ courses, implemented in 2018 at University of Toyama. We used a questionnaire survey method and took questionnaires to students in COC+ courses of three course-groups, “region-oriented course-group”, “regional PBL course-group” and “region-related course-group”, newly set up through the implementation of COC+ project. Despite our intentions, the results of this survey suggest that the regional PBL courses are likely to reduce the students’ inclination of regional settlement. Region-oriented courses are also, with regret, likely to have no effect on the inclination. The analysis of the individual courses of the region-oriented course-group shows that to increase students’ inclination of regional settlement, it must be effective to address the regional problems and their solutions, and embed a lot of opportunities for students to check their own lifestyles in courses.
