PROSPECTS FOR SPATIAL PRESCRIBING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE PREVENTION OF ISOLATION AND LONELINESS

It is not clear what “basic resources” cause feelings of instability and insecurity when access is limited and dropping in is difficult. This study aims to spatially explain what “basic resources” are by analyzing the perception of stopover behavior of people who do not feel isolated or lonely. A web-based survey was administered to 9,959 people nationwide. The results showed marginal probability effects around the mean for each variable using a multinomial logit regression model. These may be regarded as “basic drop-in resources” that are particularly useful in the primary prevention of isolation and loneliness.
