Abstract

An outsider NPO manages the operation of community buses in a partnership relation with community representatives in a rural region of Yamakoshi and OTA, Niigata. The NPO plans to shift the partnership relation of NPO to a citizen-governed and controlled organization to achieve a sustainable transport for the region. This paper aims to estimate the acceptability structure of residents attitude to shift from partnership to citizen-governed organization using the structural equation model. The study reveals that higher evaluation of existing community buses does not necessarily improve the acceptance of shifting, but it is effective to appeal to the residents that the shifting to citizen-governed organization would contribute to the revitalization of rural communities.
