Abstract

For addressing social issues through systematic design, not only the direct effects but also the indirect effects for the social issues should be taken into account in decision making. In this study, such effects of a health promotion event in Wakayama prefecture are discussed through socio-economic analysis applying input-output tables. The results show that the cost of the health promotion event consists of 64.5% organizer cost and 35.5% exhibitors cost, which was spent on labor cost, venue expenses, and educational products. These activities have a certain direct and indirect effect from various services (“Goods rental and leasing”, “Amusement and recreational services”, “Miscellaneous business services”, “Miscellaneous personal services”, and “Self-transport (freight)”), “Printing”, and various products (“Miscellaneous wooden products”, “Miscellaneous manufacturing products”, “Miscellaneous foods”, “Miscellaneous processed paper products”, “Noodles, bread, confectionery”, and “Preserved agricultural food stuffs”). It was also demonstrated that different contents of the exhibition have different induced effects on related industries. These results necessitate design and assessment of projects for regional circulation based on the understandings on their consequential effects on regional economy.
