PCKK Verifies Effectiveness of the Health Supporting Roadside Station "SMART WELLNESS TOWN MUTSUZAWA Tsudoi-no-Sato" in Collaboration with Chiba University.
SMART WELLNESS TOWN MUTSUZAWA Tsudoi-no-Sato (along Otaki Ichinomiya Route, Road No. 150, Mutsusawa-cho, Chosei-gun, Chiba Prefecture), operated as a PFI business by PACIFIC CONSULTANTS CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Osamu OMOTO), is based on the results of existing research showing that opportunities to go out and meet people contribute to improving subjective health. In response, the station was developed as a "health-supporting" roadside station with hot bath facilities and a plaza to serve as a core center for advanced preventive community development in FY2019.
To verify the effectiveness of this, PCKK's joint R&D partner Preventive Medical Center of Chiba University and Mutsuwa Town in Chiba Prefecture collaborated to conduct a questionnaire survey, which showed that developing commercial facilities such as "health support" roadside station may improve the subjective health of facility users.
