Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for “Michi-no-Eki.” These roadside stations in Japan help solve food desert problems and enhance social interaction. Accordingly, the number of Michi-no-Eki with various urban amenities (e.g., supermarket, restaurant, and playground) has been increasing. However, there is no statistical model that can calculate the impact of a Michi-no-Eki with urban amenities on shopping difficulty or social interaction. Consequently, it can be difficult for local authorities to assess the need, the location, and the design of a Michi-no-Eki with urban amenities to ease shopping difficulty and enhance social interaction. This study aimed to (1) confirm the influence of Michi-no-Eki with urban amenities on shopping difficulty and social interaction, and (2) identify the factors influencing the impact of such Michi-no-Eki to support development of statistical models for shopping difficulty and social interaction.

具有城市便利设施的 Michi-no-Eki 对购物难度和社交互动的影响

近年来，人们对 "道之站 "的需求与日俱增。日本的这些路边驿站有助于解决食物荒漠问题，并加强社会交往。因此，拥有各种城市设施（如超市、餐厅和游乐场）的路边驿站数量也在不断增加。然而，目前还没有一个统计模型可以计算出带有城市设施的 Michi-no-Eki 对购物难度或社会交往的影响。因此，地方政府很难评估是否有必要、选址和设计带有城市便利设施的道之站，以缓解购物困难和加强社交互动。本研究的目的是：（1）确认带有城市便利设施的道之站对购物难度和社交互动的影响；（2）确定影响这类道之站的因素，以支持购物难度和社交互动统计模型的开发。
