Attitude Survey of Young People to Regional Resource Sharing with Quantification Method Type II

Abstract

To support the daily life of vulnerable road users, mainly older people who are living in suburban slope residential estates without enough public transport service, we have shown the concept of regional resource sharing. Besides, based on the concept, we have developed a web service, Mutual Assistance Support System called MASS. The role of MASS is to facilitate the encounter between local community people, to provide the opportunity of resource sharing, and to solve the difficulties in daily life. The active participation of young people would be essential to make MASS more effective for vulnerable road users because young people will provide most of the resources, such as skills similar to other skill-sharing services. Therefore, in this paper, in order to examine the sustainability of MASS, we conducted an attitude survey on young people’s awareness about their resource sharing, including skills at their local community, and analyzed it with Quantification Method Type II. The analysis result unveiled a rough trend of the youth consciousness about resource sharing and the local community. Still, the analysis result also showed the limitation of Quantification Method
