A Study on the Differences in Settlement Consciousness Based on Region and Life Stages Using Hierarchical Generalized Linear Mixed Models:Combining Urban Facility Data, Housing Data, and Citizen Consciousness Survey Data

Abstract

　　Against a background where the fixation of a population is indispensable for making a regional economy virtuous and a community active, in this paper, we clarify the differences among the structures of the settlement consciousness of residents in different regions and life stages.　The data used for the study were a combination of urban facility data extracted from GIS data, housing data from the viewpoint of service science, and data from a citizen consciousness survey in Chofu City on living attributes of the people, the surrounding environment, values, residence satisfaction, etc.　We clarified differences among the structures of settlement consciousness in each of five regions in Chofu City by analyzing the relationships between settlement consciousness and the variables of the combined data, using hierarchical generalized linear mixture models.　We also clarified the differences among the structures of settlement consciousness in three life stages of citizens, based on age.
