5.3 Comparing the evaluation results with and without the specialization coefficient

Figure 9 shows the difference between the evaluation results with and without the use of the specialization coefficient of the population aging rate. Areas with evaluation points higher in the former results are black, while areas with points higher in the latter are gray. Additionally, areas with particularly large or small differences are outlined with black bold lines. Regarding gray areas with high evaluation points when not using the specialization coefficient of the population aging rate, the evaluation points when using the specialization coefficient of the population aging rate were even higher, highlighting the lack of nursing facilities. With 32 areas marked gray and 25 marked black, it was made evident that the evaluation results when using the specialization coefficient of the population aging rate were lower overall.
