Abstract

HirokiThe regional employment andThe present study aims to estimate regional employment andHONDO

environment impact fromCO₂ emissions from decommissioning of photovoltaic anddecommissioning ofwind power plants. Using hybrid method that combines

photovoltaic and wind powerprocess and input-output analyses, the regional employment

plantsand CO₂ emission is calculated based on an average
decommissioning cost, which is estimated from the detailed
construction cost data for different types of power plants.

and artistic creations.To explain the characteristic of thecontent industry, we classified game software into two
categories: technology-driven game and concept-driven
game.The analysis is based upon the data collected from 141
games in Qimai China website.We find four factors such as
game attributes,technology level and the agency,which haveinfluenced the performance of the niche in content
industry.As a result,game life is related to game attributes andthe agency.

children with autism, but there was less animal-assistedorganizations-activity for the elderly. In this study, I examined the current
status of animal-assisted activities in China and the factors
involved in their introduction from the viewpoint of volunteer
groups that have been engaged in animal-assisted activities
for more than a decade in various places such as nursing
homes and child care facilities. I would like to consider
especially the obstacles. In order to improve the quality ofcare for the elderly, I would like to provide the facility withknowledge on the spread of animal-assisted activities.
