| I would like to ask about the profitability of iBus. | Community buses are complementary to route buses, and are not just about making a profit. Currently, i-Bus routes, excluding circulation routes, are in the red about 20 million yen a year. Considering the scale of Inagi City, we believe that taxpayers will be able to understand the cost of 30 to 40 million yen. |
| I would like to ask about the use of the space under the elevated Nambu Line tracks. | Currently, a review committee has been set up and negotiations are underway with JR. We will coordinate opinions with JR based on the city's ideas, the opinions of surrounding shops, and the general public. The city would like to have a certain percentage of the area under the elevated tracks rented out for free and use it for bicycle parking, etc., which is most needed by the city. Regarding the rental part, Minori (NPO), a meal delivery service operating in the city, has expressed a desire to rent it, and the city plans to subsidize this request. In addition, there are also requests for a work warehouse at the Silver Human Resources Center, and a place where each district's community association can be held. The city is currently considering whether to build a facility near Inagi-Naganuma Station to stimulate tourism. |
| There are many security lights that are obscured by tree branches, so I would like to ask for help. | City staff and contractors are also patrolling the area, but there are some areas that they may not be able to pay close attention to, so if you see any areas of concern, please call the city management department and let them know. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the number of the streetlight. |
| I've been living in Inagi for about 10 years now, and I'm very satisfied with the current situation. However, I'm worried that development and tourism will make it more difficult to live here in the future. I'd like the city to continue as it is, and I'd like the government to spend money on maintaining the status quo. | Because Inagi's new town development was delayed, the city was able to proceed with town development while looking at precedents. The ideal is to create a town where a variety of people can live, have a high level of stability, and allow generational change. Regarding the rezoning of Minamiyama, we would like to aim to create a spacious town that preserves as much green space as possible. However, since it is privately owned land, we cannot stop development and development, but we would like to do what we can. I think the ideal population for the city would be around 100,000, which would provide opportunities for interaction with citizens. |
| Daimaru Canal is an important and historic waterway, but could the rice fields around Daimaru Shinsui Park be used for tourism in the form of a Renge no Sato? In line with this, I hope that the city will aim to create a town that balances agriculture and development in order to protect the environment around Daimaru Canal. | Regarding Renge-no-Sato, you can use the Adopt-a-Place System to receive assistance for materials and equipment, so please feel free to contact us. As for tourism, we would like to create opportunities to reassess the historical value of the Daimaru Waterway, such as tour guided walks. Regarding agriculture and development, the city will provide indirect support to those taking up farming through the certified farmer system, subsidies for succession farming, and branding of agricultural products, and will strive to maintain the landscape. |
