Description

The present invention relates to a community contribution assessment device, a community contribution assessment method, and a computer program.

There is a pay-for-performance type outsourcing method in which a business operator implements a policy based on a request from a local government or the like to solve a specific problem, and receives a set remuneration from the local government or the like according to the outcome of the policy. Using this outsourcing method, local governments may use this method to outsource the attraction of businesses to businesses that attract businesses in order to revitalize the region. Local governments are considering a pay-for-performance system that would give incentives to businesses according to the contribution of the companies they attract to the region, but they have been unable to give incentives to businesses because they have no way of determining the extent to which the companies they attract have contributed to the region. Regarding technology for analyzing user behavior, there is known technology that analyzes behavior logs based on people's location information obtained by a Global Positioning System (GPS) or the like, and grasps people's activities in a region by analyzing their place of residence and place of commuting to work or school (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The communication unit 102 receives the people flow information response and the logistics information response transmitted by the local information providing server 300 .

The creation unit 108 creates a location request addressed to the company information providing server 200, the location request including the company identifying information and information requesting the company location identifying information. The creation unit 108 outputs the created location request to the communication unit 102. The processing unit 104 acquires the location response received by the communication unit 102. The processing unit 104 acquires the company identifying information and company location identifying information included in the acquired location response. The processing unit 104 associates the acquired company identifying information and company location identifying information and stores them in the memory unit 110.
The creation unit 108 creates an inter-company transaction information request addressed to the company information providing server 200, including company identification information and information requesting inter-company transaction information. The creation unit 108 outputs the created inter-company transaction information request to the communication unit 102. The acquisition unit 106 acquires the inter-company transaction information response received by the communication unit 102, and acquires the company identification information and inter-company transaction information included in the acquired inter-company transaction information response. The inter-company transaction information includes information specifying the number of inter-company transactions and information specifying the amount. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 acquires the company identification information and inter-company transaction information acquired by the acquisition unit 106. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 acquires company location identification information stored in association with the acquired company identification information. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates at least one local activity amount based on the inter-company transaction information based on the inter-company transaction information and the company location identification information. For example, one or more pieces of information included in the inter-company transaction information may each be quantified based on the activity amount.

The creation unit 108 creates a personnel/labor information request addressed to the company information providing server 200, including company specific information and information requesting the company's personnel/labor information. The creation unit 108 outputs the created personnel/labor information request to the communication unit 102. The acquisition unit 106 acquires the personnel/labor information response received by the communication unit 102, and acquires the company specific information and personnel/labor information included in the acquired personnel/labor information response. The personnel/labor information includes information identifying the number of employees of the municipality and information identifying the salary amount. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 acquires the company specific information and personnel/labor information acquired by the acquisition unit 106. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 acquires company location identification information stored in association with the acquired company specific information. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates at least one local activity amount based on the personnel/labor information based on the personnel/labor information and the company location identification information. By calculating the amount of local activity based on inter-company transaction information and the amount of local activity based on personnel and labor information, it is possible to determine the degree of local contribution of the companies that are attracted to the local government, which directly contributes to an increase in the local government's revenue. For example, one or more pieces of information included in the personnel and labor information may each be quantified based on the amount of activity.

The creation unit 108 creates a people flow information request addressed to the local information providing server 300, including company location identification information and information identifying the people flow in the area including the company's location.

The acquisition unit 106 acquires the people flow information response received by the communication unit 102, and acquires the company location identification information and people flow information included in the acquired people flow information response. The people flow information includes information identifying the diversity of human resources in the area. The diversity of human resources in the area is information identifying the presence or absence of employment creation for human resource positions that did not previously exist in the area. For example, a company that is attracted to a station-front shopping district area where there are no people with site creation or design skills through a vacant house regeneration project employs and trains human resources with the same skills.
This makes it easy to create a homepage (HP) for the shopping district in front of the station and high-quality advertisements, which contributes to the revitalization of the shopping district. This is because, although it does not directly contribute to an increase in the municipality's revenue, it can be said to contribute to the local area. If jobs are created, information specifying the number of jobs is included. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 acquires the company location identification information and people flow information acquired by the acquisition unit 106. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates at least one local activity amount based on the people flow information based on the acquired company location identification information and people flow information. For example, each of one or more pieces of information included in the people flow information may be quantified based on the activity amount.

The creation unit 108 outputs the created logistics information request to the communication unit 102. The acquisition unit 106 acquires the logistics information response received by the communication unit 102, and acquires the company location identification information and logistics information included in the acquired logistics information response. The logistics information includes information identifying the number of transactions of people and goods. It is assumed that the quality and quantity of people flow and logistics transactions will naturally improve when the region is revitalized. The flow of people may be weighted in consideration of the attributes of the people themselves, such as young people, families with children, and seniors, and the attributes of people required by the region. This is because creating valuable people flow and increasing the amount of logistics can be said to contribute to the region. The regional activity amount calculation unit 107-1 acquires the company location identification information and logistics information acquired by the acquisition unit 106. The local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates at least one local activity amount based on the logistics information based on the acquired company location information and logistics information. By calculating the local activity amount based on people flow information and the local activity amount based on logistics information, it is possible to determine the local contribution of the attracted companies that are not directly involved (but are indirectly involved) in increasing the local government's revenue.

The local contribution calculation unit 107-2 calculates the local contribution based on the local activity amount based on at least one inter-company transaction information, the local activity amount based on at least one personnel and labor information, the local activity amount based on at least one people flow information, and the local activity amount based on at least one logistics information. Specifically, the local contribution calculation unit 107-2 calculates a weighted average of each of the local activity amounts based on at least one inter-company transaction information, each of the local activity amounts based on at least one personnel and labor information, each of the local activity amounts based on at least one people flow information, and each of the local activity amounts based on at least one logistics information. The creation unit 108 acquires the local contribution calculated by the local contribution calculation unit 107-2, and creates a local contribution notification addressed to the local government terminal device 400, including the acquired local contribution.

For example, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 may calculate at least one of the local activity amount based on the inter-company transaction information, the local activity amount based on the personnel and labor information, the local activity amount based on the people flow information, and the local activity amount based on the logistics information. In this case, the local contribution calculation unit 107-2 calculates the local contribution based on at least one of the local activity amount based on the inter-company transaction information, the local activity amount based on the personnel and labor information, the local activity amount based on the people flow information, and the local activity amount based on the logistics information.
In the above-described embodiment, a corporate cloud service may be used instead of the corporate information providing server 200. For example, a BtoB billing agency service may be used to obtain the number of transactions between companies and the transaction amount, a human resources management service may be used to obtain the number of employees, salary amount, and employment type, and a location information big data service may be used. A personal smartphone app may be used instead of the local information providing server 300. For example, a social networking service (SNS) may be used to obtain employment information, and an asset management app may be used to obtain salary amount.

According to the local contribution assessment system 1 of the present embodiment, the local contribution assessment device 100 includes a storage unit 110 that stores the location of a business operator, an acquisition unit 106 that acquires local activity information that is information indicating the local activity of the business operator, a local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 that calculates at least one local activity amount that indicates the activity in the area including the location of the business operator from the local activity information, and a local contribution calculation unit 107-2 that calculates the local contribution in the area based on at least one local activity amount. By configuring in this way, the local contribution in the area can be calculated, so that the degree to which a business operator such as a company has contributed to the area can be determined. Since the degree to which a business operator such as a company has contributed to the area can be determined, a local government can provide incentives to the business operator according to the contribution of the company to the area that it has attracted, which makes it possible to contribute to Goal 11 "Sustainable urban development" of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) led by the United Nations.
In the above-mentioned local contribution determination device 100, the local activity information is at least one of business partner information on business partners of the business, personnel and labor information on the business's employees, people flow information to a predetermined area including the business's location, and logistics information for the business's location. By configuring in this way, it is possible to calculate the local activity amount based on at least one of the business partner information, personnel and labor information, people flow information, and logistics information.
In the above-mentioned local contribution determination device 100, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the local activity amount based on the number of business partners or the transaction amount included in the business partner information on the business partner of the enterprise. Specifically, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the local activity amount such that the larger the number of business partners or the transaction amount, the larger the local activity amount.

In the above-mentioned local contribution determination device 100, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the local activity amount based on at least one of the number of employees, salary, and job type included in the personnel and labor information related to the employees of the business operator. Specifically, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the contribution degree so that the more the number of employees or the higher the salary, the greater the local activity amount. The contribution degree of the job type may be set in advance. The contribution degree of the job type may be calculated according to the number of people or the number of job openings in the relevant area for each job type acquired by the local contribution determination device 100.
In the above-mentioned local contribution determination device 100, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the local activity amount based on either one or both of the number of people staying in the area and the amount of movement before the business relocates to the location, which are included in the people flow information to a predetermined area including the location of the business, and either one or both of the number of people staying in the area and the amount of movement after the business relocates to the location. Specifically, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the activity amount so that the greater the difference before and after the relocation, the greater the activity amount. The number of people staying may be calculated using information calculated based on the location information of a mobile terminal, or may be publicly available information such as a traffic volume survey, or may be an entrance log if the local contribution determination device 100 provides an entrance management service for the business. Any method may be used to obtain the number of people staying. The amount of movement refers to the distance from the home address of a person who has stayed in the area for a predetermined period of time to the address of the area. By calculating the local activity amount based on the amount of movement, it is possible to grasp whether or not people's movements have become more active. For example, it is possible to grasp whether or not people's movements, such as going shopping or exercising, have become more active than if everyone stayed at home all the time.
In the above-mentioned local contribution determination device 100, the local activity amount calculation unit 107-1 calculates the local activity amount based on the delivery amount of goods included in the logistics information for the location of the business operator. The delivery fee for the goods may be calculated using delivery information such as the shipment of the business operator's goods and the arrival of materials, or delivery data provided by a delivery business operator. In the case where the local contribution determination device 100 provides a delivery management service, delivery data from a delivery management system may be used. Any method may be used to obtain the delivery fee for the goods.

(First Modification of the Embodiment) The configuration example of the local contribution determination system of the first modification of the embodiment can be applied to Fig. 1. However, a local contribution determination device 100a is provided instead of the local contribution determination device 100. The local contribution determination device 100a has a function of providing measures to improve the local contribution in addition to the function of the local contribution determination device 100.
7 is a diagram showing details of a local contribution determination device according to the first modified example of the embodiment. The local contribution determination device 100a differs from the local contribution determination device 100 in that it includes a policy providing unit 109. The policy providing unit 109 provides businesses with policies for improving the local contribution. Specifically, the policy providing unit 109 calculates the contribution degree of each of a plurality of local activity amounts to the local contribution calculated by the local contribution calculation unit 107-2, and provides policies for improving the local activity amounts where the calculated contribution degrees are equal to or less than a preset contribution degree threshold.
FIG. 8A is a diagram for explaining a first example of a policy. As shown in FIG. 8A, the policy providing unit 109 provides a policy in which, when the amount of corporate activity exceeds a certain condition, either one or both of a tax reduction and a lump-sum payment is provided to the business operator, and, when the amount of corporate activity does not meet the certain condition, the business operator is required to pay a penalty. One example of a policy is a recommendation that imitates a company with a high activity volume. For example, the recommendation includes a recommendation for hiring a job type with a high contribution in the same area, a recommendation for hiring a job type with a high contribution in a similar area, and a recommendation for applying for a job type that is also useful for expanding the company's business.
FIG. 8B is a diagram for explaining an example 2 of incentives. When a company A of occupation A exists in region 1, the following recommendation is made. As an example of a recommendation for the employment of occupations with a high contribution in the same region, the policy providing unit 109 recommends that the employment of personnel of occupation A is effective for company B existing in the same region 1. As a recommendation for the employment of occupations with a high contribution in a similar region, the policy providing unit 109 recommends that the employment of occupation A is effective for company C existing in region 2 similar to region 1. As an example of a recommendation for the employment of occupations that are also useful for the expansion of the company's own business, the policy providing unit 109 recommends that the employment of occupation B surrounding occupation A is effective for the business expansion of company C. Here, surrounding occupations are similar occupations. Similar occupations include, for example, designers, photographers, and copywriters, programmers and software designers, and legal affairs and intellectual property.

We will explain specific examples of measures to increase the amount of corporate activity contributing to the community through the Corporate Activity Support PF. Measures to increase the number and value of inter-company transactions include introducing local companies and their prices that can provide alternative products and services to those handled in existing transactions. This allows businesses, for example, to find local companies that can wholesale beverages at low prices, as they have done in the past. Businesses can be introduced to local companies that can serve as a single point of contact for existing transactions. Doing business with multiple companies for each transaction is difficult, but local companies that can serve as a single point of contact for multiple transactions can be identified.
One measure to increase employment numbers and wages is to introduce information on local job seekers and job changers. This allows businesses to learn about potential job seekers and enable them to hire directly. In addition, local employment and wage standards can be shared, so it may be possible to hire good personnel by offering slightly better wage conditions than the local standard. This can increase the amount of activity in the area.
One measure to increase the diversity of local human resources is to introduce information on the job types of local workers. This makes it possible to contribute to the diversity of local human resources by recruiting and hiring for job types that do not exist (or are scarce) in the area. This can increase the amount of activity in the area. One measure to increase the transactions of people and goods is to refer to information on people and logistics. This makes it possible to identify areas with few transactions and implement measures to increase the number of transactions. It makes it possible to identify areas with too many transactions and implement measures to adjust the number of transactions.

According to the regional contribution determination system 1a of the first modified embodiment, the regional contribution determination device 100a further includes a policy providing unit 109 that provides businesses with policies to improve their regional contribution in the aforementioned regional contribution determination device 100. The policy providing unit 109 provides businesses with policies to improve the regional activity volume where the contribution to the regional contribution is equal to or less than the contribution threshold. The policy providing unit 109 notifies the business of information that identifies a regional business partner that is not included in the business partner information on the business partner of the business partner. The policy providing unit 109 notifies the business of information that identifies a business partner based on the industry included in the business partner information on the business partner of the business partner. The policy providing unit 109 notifies the business of human resource application information for job seekers in the region. The policy providing unit 109 notifies the business of job type information in the region.
The business activity support PF may acquire and store job information in order to provide a job information provision service, and may make suggestions based on that information. In addition, the business activity support PF may store job information and human resource and labor information of multiple businesses handled by the business activity support PF, and may notify of jobs that are scarce in the area based on statistical information for each job type from that information. This allows companies to contribute to the diversity of local jobs, thereby improving the contribution level. Businesses can be encouraged to increase the amount of local activity in order to improve their contribution level to the area.

(Variation 2 of the embodiment) An example of the configuration of the regional contribution determination system of variation 2 of the embodiment can be applied to the system shown in Fig. 1. However, a regional contribution determination device 100b is provided instead of the regional contribution determination device 100. In addition to the functions of the regional contribution determination device 100, the regional contribution determination device 100b has a function to determine a remuneration to be fed back to a business operator commissioned by the remuneration payment organization to attract businesses, and a function to determine an amount of the remuneration fed back to the business operator commissioned by the remuneration payment organization to attract businesses to be distributed to the attracted businesses.
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing details of a regional contribution assessment device according to a second modified example of the embodiment. The regional contribution assessment device 100b is different from the regional contribution assessment device 100 in that it includes a remuneration determination unit 111 and a remuneration distribution unit 112. The remuneration determination unit 111 determines a remuneration to be fed back to the business operator entrusted with attracting the business. Specifically, the remuneration determination unit 111 determines a remuneration to be fed back (paid) to the business operator entrusted with attracting the business from the remuneration payment organization based on the regional contribution of the attracted business. The remuneration distribution unit 112 determines an amount to be distributed to the attracted business out of the remuneration fed back to the business operator entrusted with attracting the business. Specifically, the remuneration distribution unit 112 determines a part of the remuneration paid to the business operator entrusted with attracting the business from the remuneration payment organization based on the regional contribution of the attracted business as the remuneration to be fed back to the attracted business. The remuneration distribution unit 112 may distribute a fixed percentage of the remuneration or a fixed amount from the remuneration. The method of determining the amount to be distributed is not limited to these.
According to the regional contribution determination system 1b of the second modified example of the embodiment, the regional contribution determination device 100b further includes a remuneration determination unit 111 that determines a remuneration for an attracted business that has attracted a business to its location based on the regional contribution of the business calculated by the regional contribution calculation unit 107-2 in the above-mentioned regional contribution determination device 100. The remuneration distribution unit 112 further includes a remuneration distribution unit 112 that determines a remuneration to be distributed to a business that has relocated to its location based on the remuneration determined by the remuneration determination unit 111. The remuneration distribution unit 112 determines a remuneration to be distributed to a business that has relocated to its location based on the regional contribution of the business calculated by the regional contribution calculation unit 107-2. By configuring in this way, a mechanism can be introduced in which a part of the remuneration for the attracted business is fed back to the relocated business, which leads to a motivation for the attracted business to further increase the amount of business activity, and can encourage business activity.
