I heard that the name of the town will change, but will the address also change? what is it like | The city is currently in the process of formulating a basic policy for the city as a whole in order to organize addresses. Lot numbers, which used to be lined up regularly, have become irregular due to inheritance, separation or combination of lots due to land development, new numbering due to land changes, etc. Lot numbers have jumped, making it difficult to understand. I have been receiving requests for some time to correct my address. In addition, organizing lot numbers is called "lot number sorting," correcting the boundaries between large and small letters is called "town boundary sorting," and adding a new town name is called "town name sorting." It is called ``Machikai town name and lot number sorting''. Another method of organizing addresses is ``residence indication,'' which leaves the base lot number as it is and renumbers the residence regularly. We are currently at the stage of considering a basic policy for the city as a whole, and from now on we will take time to proceed with methods that are tailored to the characteristics of the region. The plan is to listen to opinions from each district and implement the measures as soon as they are ready. They cannot proceed all at once. What has been decided in the future is to improve the address. Also, I think it is necessary to clean up the boundaries between each town. |
Development is progressing in Inagi City and the population is increasing, so it is safe to have a police box near the station. How is the city working on setting up new police boxes and police stations? |
The city has continued to make requests to the Metropolitan Police Department, but has received replies that it is difficult. One of the reasons is the lack of police personnel. Even in the wards of Tokyo, existing police boxes cannot be staffed. In some rural areas, local governments rent vacant police boxes and hire private security guards to station them. Fortunately, Inagi City is a safe town with a low crime rate, but as the city continues to expand, I wonder if it is okay to continue with the existing security system. The city's requests to the Metropolitan Police Department include the establishment of a large police box with enhanced functionality, the establishment of a police box at Inagi-Naganuma Station and Inagi Station, the establishment of a base to protect public safety in Minamiyama, Odara, and Kamihirao, and the establishment of a police box at Hirao Housing. This is an improvement in staffing. The priorities are to establish police boxes in the new towns of Minamiyama, Odara, and Kamihirao, and to make the Hirao police box permanent. Furthermore, there is also the issue that the current layout of police boxes, etc. no longer matches the actual circumstances of people's living areas, and I think there is a way to relocate them, but if that were done, new construction would be postponed. As a city, we would like to continue making requests over time. |
The Gundam at Inagi Naganuma Station and the Yatter One monument at Minamitama Station had a temporary PR effect, but I think it is necessary to create a system that allows visitors to drop money into Inagi. It seems that a tourism association will be set up in the future, but I would like you to consider such issues. |
This is a very big theme related to tourism administration. First of all, the monument in front of the station was developed as a hub for the town's liveliness, and there is no intention to use the monument itself as a selling point to attract tourists. This is because when the monument was installed, there was an agreement between the city and the copyright holder that stipulated that the monument would not be used for business, and the monument would not be used to gather people. I don't think that is the job of the government. After all, it is a base for creating hustle and bustle from a long-term perspective. We believe that it would be a good idea to build commercial facilities around the station, centering on these hubs, and the government is indirectly providing guidance. But it cannot be forced. The expansion of commercial facilities will likely take place in the future after land readjustment progresses, houses are built, and the number of passengers getting on and off the station increases. Urban development in the broadest sense involves planning with an outlook of 50 or 100 years. The city's name recognition will improve, the number of people moving in will increase, the overall bustle of the city will increase, the city will become more revitalized, and added value will increase. I believe that tourism is the same, and it does not mean that money will fall. As part of our tourism business, we are currently holding tours and events where visitors come to see the monuments and tour the city. If you have any good ideas, please continue to submit them to the Economic and Tourism Division. |
More and more hospitals and clinics are being built in the city, but how does the city think about the medical system? | The city believes that necessary medical care should be provided. In Japan, patients can visit medical institutions nationwide, and doctors can practice anywhere in the country. The rule for doctors is free competition, and the system is such that profitable medical departments are operated in profitable locations, so a situation is occurring where doctors are competing for a limited number of doctors. In the super-aging society of the future, it will be necessary to create a system that allows people to continue living at home even if they are in a nursing care situation. For this purpose, not only care providers but also doctors will be needed. Inagi City is a nationally advanced city in the field of nursing care, and nursing care facilities are distributed throughout the city's living areas, but I think there is still a shortage of medical institutions. This is not enough for the situation of medical practitioners. We recognize that there is a shortage of staff, especially at night and on holidays. We are considering attracting the necessary medical departments and hospitals within the community comprehensive care system. It is also necessary to consider a system that allows patients to be cared for at home. When formulating the regional medical plan, we conducted a fact-finding survey and found that although the number of clinics had increased, there were still imbalances in the areas of care and location. In the future, we would like to steadily advance our efforts to meet the necessary needs. |
Awareness of the community-based integrated care system is low, and there are few participants in prevention classes. How do you see yourself as a city? |
I think it will be difficult to raise awareness of the term since the integrated community care system is not tangible. First of all, I think it is important to establish a system that can provide services and work on it as a reality. I would like to sequentially address the issues that the government must address. |
What are your thoughts on how to deal with the shortage of human resources in the welfare industry? | The welfare fields of nursing care, medical care, and childcare are facing the problem of labor shortages. There seem to be cases in which the issue has been addressed by raising salaries, but there are limits to this and I don't think it is a fundamental solution. From the administrative standpoint, efforts to reduce the turnover rate should start with what can be done steadily. For example, it would be possible to make a certain level of training available throughout the city, regardless of the workplace, or to reward those who have worked for the city for many years. |
I would like the park's toilets to be Westernized in consideration of elderly people with weak legs. | Western-style toilets and washlet toilets are generally used when new or renovated toilets in public facilities in the city are installed. It is not possible to update all toilets at once and it will take time, but we would like to gradually make them easier to use. |
