NGK Insulators, Ltd. (President: Shigeru Kobayashi, Headquarters: Nagoya City), Kyushu University Urban Research Center (Director: Shunsuke Managi, Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), and aiESG Inc. (CEO: Daikichi Seki, Head Office: Fukuoka City) have started joint development of the \"Resident Satisfaction x Policy Analysis System (tentative),\" which quantitatively visualizes the wellbeing (happiness and satisfaction) of local residents in response to municipal policies and measures, and enhances the conviction of decision-making.
In the past, it was difficult for residents to see the value of measures implemented by local governments, such as decarbonization and disaster reduction, and decisions by local governments tended to be one-sided. This system visualizes the gap between the needs of residents and the intentions of local governments, supports decision-making from the residents' perspective, and aims to establish a new mechanism to increase the residents' sense of conviction by converting measures into monetary values.
Specifically, we will combine the following two approaches to identify differences in attitudes toward policies between residents and local governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By cross-checking these data, we can visualize the gap between residents and local governments in terms of policy intentions and priorities and residents' needs, and share this data with local governments to support the planning of prototypes.
Furthermore, the social and economic impact of the measures will be clarified by converting the effects of decarbonization and disaster prevention measures through the introduction of photovoltaic (PV) power generation and storage batteries as municipal measures into monetary values from the perspective of improving the wellbeing of residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
