Objective : JCI Sapporo develops a region prepared for future super-aging society.
JCI Sapporo educates citizens to have them actively engaged inCommunity Development.
Overview : JCI Sapporo established the “Sapporo Vision” for an ideal Sapporo inorder to build a city capable of addressing population decrease, decreasein labor force and regional potential and fiscal deterioration, all of which
will likely occur in the future of Sapporo where the number of super-aged
people increase.
The “Sapporo Vision”is: a road map for an ideal Sapporo towards 2030;
and a concrete image of a livable city where citizens feel they live in anaffluent society.
JCI Sapporo advocated CCRC for Sapporo as a means of realizing the“Sapporo Vision”.
CCRC is a community where elderly people can move in while they arestill healthy and can spend their time for life.
This system adopted in Japan is for elderly people who live in urban
areas and plays a role in regional revitalization by prompting people tomove to non-urban areas.
CCRC for Sapporo adapts Sapporo’s environment to CCRC. CCRC forSapporo has a function to actively engage in development of the region
by: promoting creation of communities centering on residents; andworking together with other communities in the region.
This will not make the region a closed place only for elderly people, but
can build a system for developing the region by multigenerational
cooperation.
JCI Sapporo publicized the “Sapporo Vision” in a regular meeting held for
citizens. In the meeting, a seminar was held for understanding the role of
CCRC and a panel discussion was held. Katsuhiro Akimoto, the mayor ofSapporo, announced the effectiveness and potentiality of the “SapporoVision”. Business entities and university professors supporting welfare
and women’s participation in society pointed out issues that Sapporo facebased on their expertise in their field, and exchanged opinions for theachievement of the “Sapporo Vision”.
After the regular meeting, JCI Sapporo distributed a total of 670 “SapporoVision” booklets to related people and associations, such as citizens,
administrative organizations and universities, with whom cooperation will
be necessary to achieve the philosophy of the Sapporo Vision.
JCI Sapporo conducted an opinion hearing on the “Sapporo Vision” forrelated people and associations.
Results : JCI Sapporo provided an opportunity for citizens to reconfirm the value ofCommunity Development.
By holding the regular meeting, JCI Sapporo increased its awareness ofsocial issues Sapporo will face in the future and deeply recognized theneed to address it. It also made the citizens active.

JCI Sapporo distributed “Sapporo Vision” booklets and received
responses from related people and associations, such as citizens,
administrative organizations, universities and care facilities, stating thatthey will voluntarily address the issues faced. The citizens thus became
active.
JCI Nanao in Ishikawa prefecture has conducted a hearing investigation
for JCI Sapporo on the idea and realization process of CCRC for
Sapporo. JCI Sapporo received a report to the effect that JCI Nanao wasinfluenced by the “Sapporo Vision” and that it went into action forrealization of CCRC for Nanao. The “Sapporo Vision” publicized by JCI
Sapporo also influenced areas outside Sapporo.

October 24, 2015 Started distribution of “Sapporo Vision” booklets
October 27, 2015 Opinion hearing on the “Sapporo Vision” for relatedpeople and associations
Recommendations : JCI Sapporo achieved the objectives as follows.
JCI Sapporo provided 211 citizens with an opportunity to learn about
Community Development. The survey results showed that 91% of them
“understood” the idea of the “Sapporo Vision”. JCI Sapporo distributed“Sapporo Vision”
booklets to related people and associations. In response, they presented
specific measures and supplementary opinions for realization of theSapporo Vision in their respective capacities and expand mutual impact
in the future regional development
The following objectives could not be achieved.
JCI Sapporo could not present clearly the possibility of realizing CCRC
for Sapporo, because in the questionnaire filled out at the regularmeeting, only a small number of participants answered yes to thequestion of “Do you feel you want to live in CCRC for Sapporo in thefuture?”
One way to improve this is to build a realistic and concrete plan bysharing awareness through, for example, establishment of a committee
by respective administrative organizations, business entities, universities,groups supporting women, etc. JCI Sapporo will need to play a leadingrole in the sharing of awareness among respective organizations on acontinuing basis.
