Attitude Survey of Young People to Examine the Usefulness of a Skill Sharing Web Service for Regional Vulnerable Road Users

Abstract

As most of Hiroshima citizens are living in suburban residential estates at the slope of these mountains surrounding the city, the living environment is unsuitable for "vulnerable road users" mainly elderly people. Therefore, we have shown the concept of information sharing system to support vulnerable road users living in the region at Hiroshima city where public transport is not sufficiently developed and created a web service to support their daily life. The role of the proposed system is to facilitate the encounter between local community people, to provide the opportunity of resource sharing, to generate some kinds of transport means, and to support the difficulties in daily life. To make the proposed system effective for solving the issues of vulnerable road users, active participation by young people is essential because most of the resources of skills will be provided by young people. Therefore, in this paper, in order to discuss the continuity of the proposed system as a business, we conducted an attitude survey on young people's awareness of resource sharing at their local community and analyzed it with Quantification Method Type II. The analysis result unveiled a rough trend of the youth consciousness about skill sharing in their local community and also the limitation of Quantification Method Type II.
