Q&A summary
| Contents of question | Answer |
|---|---|
| [About i-bus] After reviewing the route, it is no longer a clockwise or counterclockwise route, making it difficult to understand. I would like you to go back to the basics and create a new, easy-to-understand route centered on clockwise and counterclockwise routes. The number of i-Bus users seems to be decreasing, so I would like to see the company revise its policy in the previous review and make efforts to increase the number of users. |
We would like to give maximum consideration to the opinions we receive from everyone. Last year, based on the Road Traffic Act, we launched the Inagi City Regional Public Transportation Council, which is made up of citizen representatives, experts, bus operators, and officials from various related organizations. Discussions are underway regarding the future of bus public transportation. At the meeting, we will rethink things from a zero-based perspective, without sticking to the previous course. The decline in the number of iBus users must be taken seriously, but since iBus is a complementary function to route buses, the convenience cannot be judged solely by the number of people getting on and off the iBus. In addition, if the number of users increases dramatically for commuting, etc., it will prevent the original purpose of using the i-Bus, which is for people with poor transportation and local residents who cannot access regular buses, so increasing the number of users is not necessarily the purpose of the i-Bus. We would like to divide the roles with route buses and maintain each. |
| [About home care] The other day, I saw on TV an advanced example of Kashiwa City, where the government and local doctors work together to support patients. Is it possible to expect such measures for home care in Inagi City? |
Inagi City has implemented some of the most advanced measures in the country in the field of preventive care, and people from all over the country come to inspect the city. Specifically, the city is divided into four areas, and each area has a regional comprehensive support center, which has the core function of local nursing care prevention and operates in an organic manner with the local community. However, this is not enough in the medical field. Historically, medical services in Inagi were provided by the city hospital, and there were not many medical practitioners. Currently, the number of medical practitioners is increasing little by little, but the problem is that many people don't live there. We would like to increase the number of doctors who make rounds and house calls. We also want to investigate the current state of medical resources in the city and create a medical plan to eliminate imbalances in medical services. In the future, we would like to work together with the Inagi City Medical Association and nursing care service providers to build a community-based comprehensive care system that integrates medical care, nursing care, and lifestyle support. |
| [About declining birthrate and aging population] I think that this is an issue that Inagi City will face in the future, but what is the city's thinking? |
Inagi City has the lowest aging rate in Tokyo, but we must consider the increase in the elderly population in the future. Generations living in each region are uneven, but it can be leveled out by, for example, encouraging people to settle down in new towns and changing generations. In addition, we would like to consider deregulation of city planning and make it possible to build two-family houses to attract young people (U-turn). Furthermore, in order to renew the Hirao housing complex, from the next fiscal year we will appoint a staff member in charge of revitalizing the housing complex, and we would like to help with the development of a new town. |
| [About disaster prevention measures] As a friendship city with Soma City, I think there are various examples of disaster prevention efforts. |
In Soma City, there is a splendid disaster prevention stockpile called "Soma Heizo". Seeing the jumble of relief supplies gathered from all over the country after the Great East Japan Earthquake, I felt the need for a place to sort the supplies, and thought of adding the function of a disaster prevention warehouse to the Nagamine Sports Square. |
| [About public facilities] Friend Hirao's gymnasium is dirty and the toilets are outdated and difficult to use. Not enough table tennis tables. |
Friend Hirao has undergone a large-scale renovation, and anyone can install a toilet, so please use it. Considering the situation of various facilities in the city, the renovation of the gymnasium is a low priority. The same goes for table tennis tables. If there is room in the budget, it will be considered, but it is difficult to deal with individual cases one by one. |
| [Regarding the presence of police officers] Hirao's police box disappears at night. A new town will also be built, so I would like police officers to be stationed there. The Hirao Neighborhood Association will also ask the Tama Central Police Station, but I would also like the city to back it up. |
Every time the head of the Tama Central Police Station changes, we tell them about the actual situation in Hirao. Having a police station stationed at the police station is difficult in terms of human resources, so I would like to patiently petition the Tama Central Police Station while considering setting up a police station. |
