An interview survey was conducted in Choja, Niyodogawa-cho, a rural mountainous village in Kochi prefecture, which has been suffering from critical depopulation and aging for the last few decades. The survey explored daily activities of the local residents, including the purchasing behavior and the usage of medical and public care services.The result shows the residents’ heavy dependence on the facilities and services outside of the area. The result explicitly suggests that the owning and driving a car is one of the factors which determines both the amount and the dimensions of the residents’ daily activities, particularly in the area without adequate public transportation service.}, publisher = {Society for Social Management Systems}, title = {A Study On The Living Space Of The Residents In A Remote Mountainous Village : A Case Of Choja Village In Niyodogawa-Cho, Kochi, Japan}, volume = {6}, year = {2010} }
