A study on the current situation of resident participation in community transportation

Focusing on municipalities in Nagasaki Prefecture

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the current situation of resident participation in community transportation in municipalities in Nagasaki Prefecture. We first grasped the overall trend of resident participation in Nagasaki Prefecture and then conducted case studies. As a result, it was found that many municipalities in Nagasaki Prefecture are taking measures in response to demand and raising awareness, while only a few are considering operation and management led by residents or financial commitments. In addition, the case studies revealed that statutory organizations play a major role, and that there are limitations to reflecting resident opinions in areas related to coexistence with existing public transportation.
