Popis: In depopulated mountainous areas, population decline and declining birthrate and aging population are progressing rapidly. The purpose of this study was to find out how elderly people who do not actually have transportation live. We conducted a hearing survey of 17 elderly people in Hikimi-cho, Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture. As a result, it was found that most of the subjects lived in this area from birth to the present and have no intention of moving to other areas with a good living environment. They need a lot of help to stay in their current location and lead their daily lives in a poor quality of life. In this study, we attempted to group the subjects according to the type of assistance they received. However, due to the circumstances surrounding the region, these three types of assistance cannot be said to be sustainable. In this paper, we conclude that it is the mutual assistance of the community management organization of each community center that can complement this situation.
