This study attempts to clarify the factors of financial stability of comprehensive community sports clubs with NPO status and stable management, maintaining a total income of at least 20 million yen for three years.

Consequently, it became clear that operating margin is the item influencing mid-to-long-term club financial sustainability, and that the factor behind improvement of the operating margin is not increasing total income from business but socially supported income. Members who are the “number one customer” and “supporting customers” who provide socially supported income, such as membership fees, subsidies, and grants are defined as important customers, and incorporating this into the business model has a positive influence on club financial sustainability.

The purpose of this paper is to gain knowledge on creating sport events that are needed by local residents and contribute to regional activation from the viewpoint of “Supporting Sport”. Therefore, we conducted a questionnaire survey for the “Supporting Spot” operators, taking the Kanazawa Marathon as a case.

As a result, it is necessary to break away from “Top-down model” and “Runner priority model” and create “Partnership model” in which the “runners” and the “supporters” can share benefits by Co-Create Sport events.

By Japan Sports Agency was established in 2015, conventional sports promotion has been extended, health promotion through sports, they are promoting a variety of measures such as regional revitalization.

In addition, measures have been implemented by subdividing the target of sports indifferent groups, business people, women, etc., and cooperating with other fields in order to further expand the value of sports.

Due to population decrease and society aging, per capita sewerage expenditure is increasing whereas total municipality income is decreasing, which results in poor sustainability of sewerage projects in Japan. For its quantitative analysis, a financial model was developed in which “sewerage sustainability index” was defined as a project balance per municipality income. With this model, sustainability of 86 sewerage projects were evaluated, and sensitivity analysis was carried out for 4 municipalities to compare effects of operating conditions on the index. This analytical methodology can be used in policy making for the future of sewerage projects.

This study reviews the accomplishments and operational learnings from the Totsuka Station Nishiguchi (West Entrance) District 1 Type II urban area redevelopment project (Totsuka Station West Entrance Redevelopment Project), which adopted the private finance initiative (PFI) approach in Yokohama city, and explores its implications for city planning. Given the data on the project, use of public facilities, and impact on the community, any assessment must consider not only the project’s cost-performance but also its implications for city planning; this perspective is presented in the study. It is also imperative to show the overall impact of urban redevelopment projects if VFM and other ripple effects arising from the project can be visualized.

In recent years, the development of ICT has led to the creation of software and applications, which brought a large number of innovations to society. In order to solve social problems, local governments have been promoting improvement and efficiency of administrative systems using ICT. However, there are still many challenges for local governments to utilize ICT effectively. Enhancement of public services by the private sector is increasing and is considered to have potential for public service innovation. This movement was led by Code for X. While Code for X has many achievements in Europe, the United States and Japan, there are still challenges in maintaining the service, and the condition of the service provided by Code for X in Japan is not yet clear. This research has tried to make it clear that the actual condition of the delivery and management of public services by CFX in Japan through the Internet survey and the questionnaire survey to CFX.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the influence of municipality and citizen’s financial situation and environment on the implementation of municipal social welfare policy (here, family support·center project). In this research, I conducted quantitative empirical analysis to investigate its effect. The conclusions obtained by this analysis are: ①There is a tendency to make a choice “to implement the project” in the municipalities with many citizen needs, ②As the financial situation of the municipalities is better, they tend to implement the policy by directory management, ③Depending on the citizen’s financial situation, there is a tendency to select an operation method.

This study clarifies the actual state and role of the Regional Coordinators of Reconstruction by using as an example the Kitakami district of Ishinomaki city that suffered a huge damage by tsunami at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake. The distinction between “care-giving type support (support like adding figures to community)” and “business introduction type support (support like multiplying community by figures),” which were shown in the case of Chuetsu Regional Coordinators of Reconstruction, was used as a framework for analysis as well as the activity model of human aid to local communities. The results of the investigation and analysis confirmed the simultaneity of “care-giving type support towards rebuilding residences” and “follow-up by specialized and technical support” as a new support model specific to the housing transition period in addition to the overlap with the existing single-track transition model towards the recovery of “loss.”
