The main operation is to display a list of vacanthouses and select the one you are interested in todisplay the details.

It was not an easy activity to think and act on
one's own under the theme of solving local issues.
I got stuck many times, and even though I said it

1. Introduction
The reason for the theme of vacant houses isthat I heard in the news that the number ofvacant houses is increasing nationwide, and I
thought that it might also apply to Honbetsu
Town.

I thought about reducing vacant houses by attracting
companies and using them as stores and offices.
5. About the solution
In order to reduce the number of vacant houses, I
thought it would be better to utilize a site like a vacanthouse bank, and in order to differentiate myself, I

About the hypothesis
In setting the hypothesis, the following points
were examined.

Changes in the number of vacant houses in Japan・Since there are few workplaces in Honbetsu
Town, if vacant houses are repaired toincrease the number of places where people
can work, young people and those who wantto move to the city for higher education or
employment will remain in Honbetsu. If thenumber of people working increases, thenumber of vacant houses to be repaired will
also increase, so the number of vacanthouses may decrease as a result.
・ If people outside Hombetsu town like2.

About the problem
In order to solve this problem, there are thefollowing difficulties and problems.
・Since we do not have the technology to repair

vacant houses, so we cannot do by ourselves.
・ Since it costs much money to create an

Honbetsu and live in vacant houses in
Honbetsu, the number of vacant houses will
decrease.

・If the lives of the residents become richer (inthe city such as Obihiro, if there issomething in Hombetsu that is not in the

The overall activities and future activities aresummarized as follows.
