As a sport for people of advanced age, gateball is declining in popularity. The major causes are mental stress resulting from athletic competition and physical illness affecting the sport's elderly participants. Gateball's decline has intensified due to the growing popularity of sports like ground golf. This has led to the weakening of gateball teams because there are not enough players to take part in games. Furthermore, the lack of newcomers has resulted in an insufficient number of people engaged in team management. Regarding the causes of mental stress, gateball rules mandate severe penalties in the event of an "outside release" or "out-of-bounds" play. This peculiar rule produces high stress among beginning players. Among the elderly members of gateball clubs, in addition, qualified individuals are granted a high social position or ranking. This is a major source of stress, as it promotes resistance to scolding or pressure from a team coach or manager. Such factors produce a sense of incongruity for gateball and there are many cases in which low player participation has been caused. For these reasons, it is difficult for talented persons to become involved in gateball management. The writer thinks that the following things will be necessary for a comeback or revival in gateball's popularity. Demonstrations of activity and support for all team members will be needed to give returning participants a sense of vitality. Then if the gateball player population increases, team formation will become strengthened by degrees. For this to be accomplished, the cooperation of concerned persons in cities, towns and villages is indispensable. The writer considers gateball to be an important matter for the aging society.

貨物車の経路選択行動についての既往研究では,所要時間及び費用に加え,道路構造,出発時刻,予測所要時間情報提供の有無等を説明変数とした研究は見られるものの,輸送品の特性に着目した研究は少ない.そこで,本研究では「要冷蔵の有無」及び「到着時間指定の有無」といった輸送品の特性を表す指標と,貨物車の経路選択行動との間に関係があることを実証データを用いて明らかにした.具体的には,物流センサスデータを用い,上記2つの指標それぞれと「高速道路利用の有無」の関係を分析し,冷蔵が必要な品物及び到着時間を指定された品物は,高速道路を利用して輸送される割合が大きいことを示した.
