This study aimed to conduct an analysis based on a survey performed in 4 municipalitieswhich investigated social isolation among elderly persons living alone. This study was conductedas collaborative research between the Minami-Nippon Shimbun and International University ofKagoshima in September 2011, and obtained sample data from 1,000 cases with the support oflocal welfare staff members. Although economic deprivation is often considered the greatest riskfactor for social isolation among elderly persons, this study also focused on differences betweenurban and depopulated areas to analyze the data. As the results, the level of social activities andsense of isolation were particularly affected by the level of income. This was marked in depopulated areas, where infrastructure has not been improved compared to urban areas.

In this paper, the athor tries to discuss Moe-Okoshi, a kind of regional promotion through Moe. Moe is an emotion of attachment to fictitious objects, like characters in animations, comics, or computer games. Originally, Moe was a slang of the Japanese OTAKU culture, but is now globally known as a term for a more common affection for sweeties. In fact, the market of Moe is becoming larger and larger, and attracting much attention of those who have had no connection with the pop culture before. The regional promotion, the main subject of this paper, is also having an intimate relation with Moe. Many novel promotion plans, in which practitioners try to draw the public notice by means of the fascination or curiosity of Moe, have already appeared. Such plans are commonly called Moe-Okoshi. However, a lot of practices which we have bundled with the name of Moe-Okoshi can be classified into some models in spite of the superficial similarities; the frequent use of pretty animation-like pictures and so on. And each model has a different feature and method. A few of them have already been highlighted as individual examples, but they have been given no opportunity to be discussed systematically in the context of regional promotion. These circumstances duly considered, it may be very meaningful to analyze the strategies which a practitioner can take toward each Moe-Okoshi model. For this purpose, the author investigates the potentialities and limitations of Moe-Okoshi.

In Japan, about 30% of the population is expected to be elderly by 2025. Therefore, there is a sense of anxiety regarding the rapid increase in social security expenditures for medical and other health-care costs. In an effort to cope with this phenomenon, the government has introducedcommunity-based integrated care systems. This paper aims to understand issues relatedto the structuring of community-based integrated care systems and to suggest measures to promote the same. Research revealed the importance of collaboration between the formal services and resident activities. It was concluded that, to promote community-based integrated caresystems, it was necessary to 1) secure staff on site and develop the requisite human resources, 2) monitor and evaluate activities, and 3) share the accomplishments of activities.

The conservation movement of Star Ferry Pier and Queen's Pier in Hong Kong awakened collective memory of Hong Kong citizens and led to creation of Hong Kong identity. In this background, the active complexities that Morimitsu Shimizu pointed out as characteristic of the former Chinese rural society exist as undercurrent in immigrant society and seaport society. Hong Kong, where the Pier conservation movement has led to the importance of discovering and preserving historical landscapes, is expected to continue to emphasize its historical character as seaport city.
