Classification of living environments based on asymmetry structure of evaluation and effects of improving living environments

Abstract

In order to analyze the relationship between living assessment and evaluation on living environments, the method is proposed in this paper, in which an asymmetry structure of the evaluations is grasped and the degree of satisfaction on living environments is simultaneously taken into account. Moreover, a new idea to treat “Fair” significantly is introduced for quantifying the degree of satisfaction. The questionnaire conducted by Okazaki City was analyzed by this method and living environments were classified into some groups based on the structure of evaluations. Furthermore, the effect of improvement of living environments on the living assessment was estimated with the evaluation structure model. As a result, the group yielding the most effectiveness on living assessment was clarified.
