ANALYSIS ON INTER-COMMUNITY MUTUAL AID SYSTEM BASED ON DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF FUNCTIONING

Abstract

It may be difficult for small communities to maintain the basic functioning of daily life of all residents by mutual aid because of the decrease of the population. To maintain the basic functioning, it is effective to establish the inter-community mutual aid system. This study aims to develop the methods to design the system by which demand and supply for the system is estimated and propose the effective coalition for mutual aid among the communities. Then the methods are applied to Misasa Town in order to show their usefulness.
