Special Feature: Town Resident Survey & Elementary/Junior High School Student Survey
The surveys investigated "livability" and "intention to reside permanently," in addition to 35 items based on the 6th Komono Town Comprehensive Plan, assessing their importance and satisfaction.
As a result, the percentage of people who feel "easy to live in" and "want to continue living here" significantly exceeded those who feel "difficult to live in" and "want to move." Reasons cited include "being accustomed to living here," "good natural environment," and "having family and relatives."
Furthermore, in the survey targeting elementary and junior high school students, over 80% responded "easy to live in" or "somewhat easy to live in." Many voices expressed sentiments such as "I want to return even if I leave the town in the future" and "Nature is rich and people are kind," indicating an affection for Komono Town. The issue also introduces aspirations for the future, such as "I want to make it a town full of smiles," "I want it to remain a town with nature," and "I want to feel that it's a good town when I return."
Expansion of Children's Medical Expense Assistance
The issue also features "Expansion of Children's Medical Expense Assistance." With the aim of reducing the burden on child-rearing households and creating an environment where they can receive medical care with peace of mind, the eligible age for assistance will be raised from the previous "until the end of the fiscal year of 15 years old" to "until the end of the fiscal year of 18 years old."
Additionally, the "Child and Child-rearing Support Fund System" is introduced. As a mechanism to support children and child-rearing households across society, it will be utilized for various measures such as expanding child allowances, supporting pregnant women, and providing short-time work benefits for childcare.
