In our country, which is experiencing declining birth rates and an aging population, the small working-age population must support the increasing elderly demographic through various forms of assistance (such as caregiving and transportation), raising concerns about the impact on the productive activities that the working-age population should ideally be engaged in. Considering that the ratio of the working-age population in our country is expected to decline further in the future, it is believed that more measures will be necessary than ever before. This research aims to develop a system that naturally guides users towards temporal and spatial peak shifts, focusing on facilities where user demand tends to concentrate, in anticipation of a further decline in the working-age population ratio. By dispersing user demand through this system, we aim to optimize staff allocation and reduce costs, as well as minimize the significant capital investments in facilities (such as buildings and installed equipment) required to meet peak demand, while also improving sustainability, which is one of the issues facing our country.
