② Young people themselves must feel that Sendai is attractive, continue living, and it isnecessary to build a good town with a youth perspective.

③ Among the vast amount of information that exists in the world, the times of personal
dissemination become powerful, the words of individuals that can be identified aregetting stronger.

④ It is necessary to focus on young people who have high speed informationtransmission, to make impact from small action and to create active behavioral
chains.

⑤ In the trend of the young population of Sendai City in the last five years, the ages of
15 to 22 years old have remained almost unchanged, the decrease in the ages of 23
to 30 years old is remarkable, it means that people move to outside of Sendai after

説明：<From May 2016>
In order to grasp the current situation of the region and to find a solution, conduct thefollowing investigation.
・ Investigation was conducted among 50 young people living in Sendai about theattractiveness and livability of Sendai.

Recommendations
考察や推奨目的のうちどの部分が達成されたのか？
達成できなかった部分は、何か？
それは、なぜか？その改善策は？
JCI Sendai collaborated with young people and accomplished the object with thefollowing contents.

① By establishing a new regional brand creation system by the project, participants
noticed the new attractiveness of Sendai, but the purpose was not achieved in termsof awareness change.

② With the approval from the young people, we were able to hand over the project to thegroup formed by volunteers of young people, and still continue to transmit theattractiveness of Sendai.

③ Sendai, young people feel attractive, was created by promoting town planning that isled by young people<Improvement point>① By strengthening cooperation with administration and other organizations, the scaleof the publicity will be expanded, and a project with more cooperative structure will berealized.

② We could confirm the spread of the project by the transmission method, but neglected
to measure the understanding of essence of movement transmission. As a remedy,
we need to set up a posting board of SNS and suck up the proposal to the project
widely.
