Akita Prefectural University, Japan
ABSTRACT
This paper presents a framework and an empirical analysis for "Citizens Awareness Survey" of 2,126 citizens over twenty-year old, conducted by the Akita local government to understand the feelings and needs of the citizens toward the prefectural policy. The results of the research model using Structural Equation Model (SEM) imply that Akita local government's policies in 鈥淗ealth and medical services,鈥� "Promotion of agriculture, forestry and fisheries," and 鈥淓mployment and child care support鈥� are related to their citizens' life satisfaction to some extent, while "Promotion of commerce and industry" and "Volunteer activities" are not.
