| Summary | With the advent of an era with a falling population, aging society, and declining birthrate, daily mobility is expected to suffer serious problems in the future due to the deterioration of public transportation services and an increase in the number of elderly people who find it difficult to drive because of their age. Focusing on public transportation and the status of car-based mobility, this research defined people who cannot easily move about or are mobility-challenged, proposed a concept that identifies such people, and estimated the number of such people. |
