Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a program, a method, and an information processing device. [Background technology]

[0002] When designing a house in a given area, there is a technology that can consider a plan for allocating dwelling units in the house so that the requirements of the regulations in that area are met. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7283829 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In Patent Document 1, a three-dimensional building range that meets the requirements of the first regulation and the building coverage ratio is determined, a first building plan (number of floors in the building, floor area of ​​each floor) that will result in the largest number of dwelling units within this building range is determined, and based on this first building plan, a second building plan (number of dwelling units on each floor, exclusive area of ​​each dwelling unit, common area of ​​each floor) that meets the floor area ratio requirements is determined. This makes it possible to generate profitable building plans (first building plan, second building plan) that meet the requirements of building regulations.

[0005] However, regulations related to residential design include many requirements. Therefore, the allocation of dwelling units that can be constructed can vary significantly depending on how the regulatory requirements are addressed. Furthermore, because the characteristics of popular dwelling units vary by region, a dwelling unit allocation that differs from one generally considered to be highly profitable may be appropriate. However, in Patent Document 1, only one building plan that is considered to be highly profitable is proposed to the user from among multiple building plans. Therefore, there is a need for technology that can compare and consider multiple examples of dwelling unit allocations that comply with local regulations.

[0006] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique for comparing multiple examples of dwelling unit allocations that comply with local regulations. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A program to be executed by a computer having a processor and a memory unit, the program executing the following steps: the processor receiving a designation of an area from a user; presenting the user with a plurality of options including options for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that is subject to specified requirements contained in the regulations of the designated area and options for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that is not subject to the specified requirements; receiving calculation information from the user including the designation of the options, information regarding the site, and information regarding the area of ​​the dwelling units; calculating the dwelling unit allocation by comparing the calculation information with information regarding the regulations of the area designated by the user; and presenting the calculated dwelling unit allocation to the user.

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings for explaining the embodiment, the same components are generally designated by the same reference numerals, and repeated description thereof will be omitted.

[0011] In this disclosure, "regulations" refer to regulations established by specific institutions (government agencies, regulatory agencies, etc.), organizations, groups (industry associations, etc.), etc. "Regulations" include various regulations such as laws, ordinances, rules, and standards.

[0012] In this disclosure, a "requirement" refers to a condition that must be met in order for a specific obligation stipulated in each provision of a regulation to arise. Alternatively, a "requirement" refers to a condition that must be met in order for the effect stipulated in each provision of a regulation to arise. Furthermore, "subject to a requirement" refers to, for example, a state in which the condition is met, resulting in the need to fulfill the specific obligation. For example, if a regulation stipulates that a specific obligation arises when there are nine or fewer dwelling units of a specific dwelling type, "subject to a requirement" refers to a state in which there are nine or fewer dwelling units of that specific dwelling type.

[0013] "Complying with requirements" refers to a state in which a product is not subject to requirements, or a state in which the product is subject to requirements and fulfills specific obligations related to the requirements. "Complying with regulations" refers to a state in which the product complies with all requirements contained in the regulations.

[0014] In this disclosure, a "dwelling unit" is an independent room for living within a house.

[0015] In this disclosure, a "residence" is a building made up of one or more dwelling units.

[0016] In this disclosure, a "dwelling unit type" refers to a type of dwelling unit distinguished by area. For example, each dwelling unit type is defined by setting at least one of a minimum and an maximum area limit for the dwelling unit in accordance with regulatory requirements. Also, for example, each dwelling unit type is defined by setting at least one of a minimum and an maximum area limit for the dwelling unit in accordance with the characteristics of the dwelling unit (area, number of rooms, layout, facilities, etc.), regardless of regulatory requirements. For example, each dwelling type is defined as follows: Dwelling unit type A: Area equal to or greater than the first area, less than the second area Dwelling unit type B: Area equal to or greater than the second area, but less than the third area Dwelling Type C: 3rd floor area or more

[0017] In this disclosure, "dwelling unit allocation" refers to an allocation of the number of dwelling units for each dwelling unit type included in the house.

[0076] If a requirement is associated with an option associated with an option ID such that the option is subject to the requirement, the function identified by the identification information associated with the item "calculation conditions" is written to calculate the dwelling unit allocation so as to conform to the requirement. For example, if a requirement that dwelling units of a specific dwelling unit type be provided in 10% or more of the total dwelling units is associated with an option associated with an option ID, the function is written to calculate the dwelling unit allocation so that the dwelling units account for 10% or more of the total dwelling units.

[0077] Furthermore, if a requirement is associated with an option associated with an option ID such that the option is exempt from the requirement, the function identified by the identification information associated with the item "calculation conditions" is written to calculate the dwelling unit allocation so that the dwelling unit allocation is exempt from the requirement. As an example, if the number of dwelling units of a particular dwelling unit type is 10 or more and the number of dwelling units is subject to the requirement, the function is written to calculate the dwelling unit allocation so that the number of dwelling units is 9 or less.

[0078] Furthermore, for example, the function identified by the identification information related to the item "calculation conditions" is written to calculate the dwelling unit allocation according to the dwelling unit allocation conditions associated with the option related to the option ID. As an example, if the option related to the option ID is associated with a condition that the number of units of a specific dwelling unit type is maximized, the function is written to calculate the dwelling unit allocation so that the number of units of the specific dwelling unit type is maximized.

[0079] 8 is a diagram showing the data structure of the judgment condition table 2025. The judgment condition table 2025 includes an item "judgment condition ID", an item "area ID", and an item "judgment condition".

[0080] The item "judgment condition ID" is an item for storing a judgment condition ID that identifies a judgment condition.

[0081] The item "area ID" is an item for storing an area ID that identifies an area.

[0082] The item "judgment conditions" is an item that stores information about judgment conditions for judging whether or not the dwelling unit allocation complies with the regulations of the area related to the area ID. Specifically, the "Determination Condition" item stores identification information for identifying a function for determining whether the proposed dwelling unit is in compliance with the regulations of the area associated with the area ID. The identification information is, for example, identification information for a function in an application program stored in the storage unit 202. The identification information may be the identifier or name of the function. The function identified by the identification information for the "Determination Condition" item is written to determine whether the input dwelling unit allocation plan is in compliance with each requirement of the regulations of the area associated with the area ID. For example, if the regulations of the area associated with the area ID require that dwelling units of a specific type be provided in 10% or more of the total dwelling units, the function is written to return "TRUE" if the dwelling units in the input dwelling unit allocation plan account for 10% or more of the total dwelling units, and "FALSE" otherwise. In practice, the function is written to determine whether the input dwelling unit allocation plan complies with multiple requirements included in the regulations.

[0083] <3 operations> (Dwelling unit allocation calculation process) The dwelling unit allocation calculation process of this embodiment will be described. The dwelling unit allocation calculation process is a process that calculates dwelling unit allocation based on the regulations in the area specified by the user and the calculation information received from the user, and presents the calculation results to the user. Figure 9 is a flowchart of the dwelling unit allocation calculation process of this embodiment.

[0084] First, the terminal device 10 executes an application for calculating dwelling unit allocation. The calculation of dwelling unit allocation may be executed via a web browser. For example, a user operates the terminal device 10, selects an application for calculating dwelling unit allocation, and causes the terminal device 10 to execute the application. When the terminal device 10 executes the application, the control unit 190 causes the display 141 to display a login screen for authenticating the user.

[0085] The user inputs, for example, a login ID and a password on the login screen. Note that the information input by the user on the login screen is not limited to the login ID and password. The user may also log in by inputting biometric information, etc. Once user authentication is complete, the control unit 190 accesses the server 20 in association with the user ID.

[0086] In step S101, the server 20 accepts access from the terminal device 10.

[0087] In step S102, the server 20 generates an input UI for specifying an area based on the information in the items "area ID" and "area name" in each record of the regulation information table 2022, and presents the UI to the user via the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 displays an input screen for specifying an area on the display 141 of the terminal device 10.

[0088] The input screen for specifying a region displays, for example, an object that displays the name of each region. The object may be, for example, a pull-down menu, a radio button, a display of an area on a map indicating each region, a check box, etc. The terminal device 10 accepts the user's selection of the object, thereby accepting the region specification from the user and transmitting it to the server 20. The input screen for specifying a region may display an input form that automatically completes the region name when the user inputs it, in addition to or instead of the object that displays each region name. In this case, the terminal device 10 accepts the user's input into the input form, thereby accepting the region specification from the user and transmitting it to the server 20.

[0089] In step S103, the server 20 accepts a region designation from the user based on the information accepted by the region designation input UI presented in step S102. The server 20 searches the item "Region ID" in the screen information table 2023 based on the region ID of the region whose designation has been accepted, and acquires information on the item "Input screen information." The server 20 searches the item "Region ID" in the option table 2024 based on the region ID of the region whose designation has been accepted, and acquires information on the item "Option ID," item "Option Name," and item "Explanation Information."

[0090] In step S104, the server 20 presents the user with a UI for inputting calculation information. Specifically, the server 20 generates an input UI for calculation information based on the input screen information, option ID, option name, and explanation information acquired in step S103, and presents it to the user via the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 displays an input screen for calculation information on the display 141 of the terminal device 10. The input UI presented by the server 20 includes a plurality of options, including an option for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that is subject to the requirements included in the regulations of the area specified by the user in step S103, and an option for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that is not subject to the requirements.

[0091] 10 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the input screen D1. The input screen D1 includes operation objects D111 to D114, operation objects D121 to D125, operation objects D131 to D133, operation objects D141 to D143, and operation object D15.

[0092] The operation objects D111 to D114 each represent an option for calculating dwelling unit allocation. The operation objects D111 to D114 accept an operation to specify an option. For example, by accepting a selection of one of the operation objects D111 to D114, the specification of the option is accepted from the user.

[0093] The server 20 may present the following options to the user as operation objects D111 to D114, for example. An option for calculating the allocation of dwelling units that maximizes the number of dwelling units of a specific dwelling type while remaining within the specified requirements of the local regulations specified by the user. When subject to certain requirements, limitations may be placed on the number of dwelling units of a specific dwelling type in order to comply with those requirements. This option maximizes the number of dwelling units of a specific dwelling type within those limitations. This allows users to effectively consider the allocation of dwelling units when they want to create as many dwelling units of a specific dwelling type as possible. - An option to calculate a dwelling unit allocation that does not include certain dwelling unit types so that the allocation is not subject to certain requirements contained in the regulations of the area specified by the user. By excluding certain dwelling unit types from the dwelling unit allocation, the allocation is not subject to certain requirements, which may result in a more profitable dwelling unit allocation. This allows users to effectively consider dwelling unit allocation when the specific dwelling unit type is not required for housing. An option for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that includes a specific dwelling unit type but is exempt from the specified requirements contained in the regulations of the area specified by the user. Even if a specific dwelling unit type is included in the dwelling unit allocation, it may be exempt from the specified requirements if certain conditions (for example, conditions regarding the number of units of the specific dwelling unit type or its percentage of the total number of units) are met. By selecting this option, users can effectively consider dwelling unit allocation even when a specific dwelling unit type is required for housing.

[0094] Furthermore, when calculating dwelling unit allocation, restrictions are placed on dwelling unit allocation when certain requirements are met, and therefore, floor area ratio restrictions may be imposed compared to when certain requirements are not met. Furthermore, in residential design, a higher floor area ratio is often prioritized because it allows for more efficient site utilization. Meanwhile, the proportion of each dwelling unit type in a dwelling unit allocation that meets certain requirements differs from that of a dwelling unit allocation that does not meet certain requirements. Therefore, depending on the characteristics of the area (e.g., a high number of single-person households, a high number of family households, a high number of elderly people, etc.), homes with dwelling unit allocations that meet certain requirements may be more popular, and therefore may be more profitable even if the floor area ratio is low. Therefore, by comparing options that meet certain requirements with options that do not meet certain requirements, users can effectively consider dwelling unit allocation while taking into account the characteristics of the area.

[0095] Furthermore, the operation objects D111 to D114 each display the name and description of the option. The server 20 may search the option table 2024 using the option ID associated with each option displayed in the input UI, and display the explanation information stored in the item "explanation information" on the operation objects D111 to D114.

[0096] Furthermore, when the server 20 receives a user's operation on the operation objects D111 to D114, the server 20 may present predetermined requirements related to options for each object. For example, the operation objects D111 to D114 may display new explanatory information related to the options in response to receiving a user's operation. For example, more detailed information than the explanatory information already displayed on the operation objects D111 to D114 may be displayed.

[0097] The operation objects D121 to D125 accept operations for inputting information related to the site. The operation objects D121 to D125 accept input of numerical values ​​related to, for example, the area, floor area ratio, and occupancy rate of the site on which a house is planned to be built. Note that, based on the information input to the operation objects D121 to D125, information to be input to the other operation objects D121 to D125 may be automatically calculated and automatically input.

[0098] The operation objects D131 to D133 accept operations for inputting information about the area of ​​the dwelling unit. The operation objects D131 to D133 are provided for each dwelling unit type. In the example of FIG. 10, the operation object D131 accepts operations for inputting information about the area of ​​the dwelling unit. 2 More than 40m 2 10, the operation object D132 and the operation object D133 are also similarly input when the dwelling area is 40 m or less. 2 Over 55m 2 Dwelling type with an area of ​​less than 55m 2 The area input operation is accepted for the above dwelling unit types.

[0099] The options related to the operation objects D111 to D114 may have different dwelling unit types included in the dwelling unit allocation to be calculated. Therefore, input fields for the operation objects D131 to D133 may be displayed for each dwelling unit type related to the option specified by the user. For example, in the example of FIG. 10 , when the option associated with operation object D113 is selected, a dwelling unit allocation including studio-type dwelling units is calculated, whereas when the option associated with operation object D114 is selected, a dwelling unit allocation excluding studio-type dwelling units is calculated. Therefore, when the user selects operation object D113, the server 20 may display input fields for area information related to studio-type dwelling units in operation objects D131 to D133, whereas when the user selects operation object D114, the server 20 may not display input fields for area information related to studio-type dwelling units in operation objects D131 to D133. This allows the user to easily check what type of dwelling units are included in the dwelling unit allocation by selecting each option. Furthermore, because input fields corresponding to each option are displayed depending on the selected option, the user can easily input the area information of the dwelling units.

[0100] The operation objects D141 to D143 accept operations for inputting calculation settings for calculating dwelling unit allocation. For example, the operation objects D141 to D143 accept input operations into check boxes to accept instructions to calculate dwelling unit allocation according to the calculation settings corresponding to each object.

[0101] The operation object D15 accepts an operation for inputting an instruction to calculate the dwelling unit allocation. When the operation object D15 accepts an input operation from the user, the terminal device 10 transmits an instruction to calculate the dwelling unit allocation to the server 20 together with each piece of information input to each operation object on the input screen D1.

[0102] In step S105, the server 20 receives, from the user, information for calculation including a selection option, information about the site, and information about the area of ​​the dwelling unit. Specifically, the server 20 receives, from the terminal device 10, calculation information based on the operation received from the user by the input UI presented in step S104.

[0103] The server 20 searches the item "option ID" of the option table 2024 based on the option ID of the option specified by the user, which is included in the calculation information, and acquires the identification information stored in the item "calculation condition."

[0104] In step S106, the server 20 calculates the dwelling unit allocation by comparing the received calculation information with information related to the regulations of the area specified by the user in step S105. Specifically, the server 20 executes a function corresponding to the above identification information in an application program that performs dwelling unit calculations, using various information included in the received calculation information as arguments. This allows the dwelling unit allocation to be calculated so as to comply with the regulations of the area specified by the user.

[0105] The server 20 acquires output screen information related to an output screen for presenting the calculation results of dwelling unit allocation to the user. Specifically, the server 20 searches the item "Area ID" of the screen information table 2023 based on the area ID of the area specified in step S103, and acquires information of the item "Output screen information."

[0106] In step S106, the server 20 presents the calculation results of the dwelling unit allocation to the user. Specifically, based on the calculation results of the dwelling unit allocation calculated in step S105 and the output screen information, the server 20 generates an output UI of the calculation results of the dwelling unit allocation and presents it to the user via the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 causes the display 141 of the terminal device 10 to display a calculation result screen of the dwelling unit allocation.

[0107] 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a calculation result screen D2 for dwelling unit allocation. The calculation result screen D2 includes a display object D211, a display object D212, a display object D22, and a display object D23.

[0108] The display object D211 displays whether the calculated dwelling unit allocation is subject to the requirements included in the regulations of the area specified by the user.

[0109] The display object D212 displays whether or not the apartment complex formed by the calculated dwelling unit allocation corresponds to a specific residence defined in the regulations of the area designated by the user.

[0110] The display object D22 displays the calculation result of the dwelling unit allocation calculated by the server 20. Specifically, the display object D22 displays the allocation of dwelling units of each dwelling unit type to the total dwelling units for each dwelling unit type. The dwelling unit allocation may be displayed for each dwelling unit type in terms of the number of units, the unit ratio which is the ratio of the number of units to the total, and the subtotal area which is the product of the number of units and the dwelling unit area.

[0111] The display object D22 may also display the total number of units of each dwelling unit type and the total subtotal area. The display object D22 may also display, for example, information (area, etc.) about meeting rooms that are to be installed according to the calculated dwelling unit allocation, a total area obtained by adding up the area of ​​each subtotal and the area of ​​the meeting room, a remaining exclusive area that is the difference between the exclusive area and the total area, and a remaining area subject to floor area.

[0112] The display object D23 displays information about facilities related to the calculated dwelling unit allocation. Specifically, the display object D23 displays information about the obligations and permission to install facilities stipulated by the rules, according to the calculated dwelling unit allocation. For example, the display object D23 displays information about facilities inside the dwelling units (e.g., dwelling units that are considerate to the elderly) and facilities outside the dwelling units (e.g., caretaker's room, meeting room, parking lot, bicycle parking lot, motorcycle parking lot).

[0113] In addition, the calculation result screen D2 may display information about requirements related to the calculated dwelling unit allocation. For example, the calculation result screen D2 may display the following information: Requirements Overview -Excerpts of provisions related to requirements · An explanation that the requirements limit the number of units of a particular dwelling type. - Explanation of the requirement to install certain types of dwelling units

[0114] (Dwelling unit allocation determination process) The dwelling unit allocation determination process of this embodiment will be described. The dwelling unit allocation determination process is a process for determining whether or not a dwelling unit allocation plan received from a user complies with regulations in an area specified by the user, and presenting the determination result to the user. Figure 12 is a flowchart of the dwelling unit allocation determination process of this embodiment.

[0115] Steps S201 to S202 of the dwell unit allocation determination process are the same as steps S101 to S102 of the dwell unit allocation calculation process, and therefore a description thereof will be omitted.

[0116] In step S203, the server 20 accepts a region designation from the user based on the information accepted by the region designation input UI presented in step S202. The server 20 searches the item "region ID" of the screen information table 2023 based on the region ID of the region whose designation has been accepted, and acquires information of the item "determination screen information."

[0117] In step S204, the server 20 presents a dwelling unit allocation plan determination UI to the user. Specifically, the server 20 generates a determination UI for the dwelling unit allocation plan based on the determination screen information and presents it to the user via the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 causes the display 141 of the terminal device 10 to display the determination screen.

[0118] 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the determination screen D3. The determination screen D3 includes an input area D31 and an output area D32.

[0119] The input area D31 is an area for displaying objects for receiving information input from the user. The input area D31 includes operation objects D311 to D317.

[0120] The operation object D311 receives the designation of a section (for example, a so-called zoning) obtained by further dividing the area designated by the user. The user operates the operation object D311 to select a section that corresponds to the area where construction is being considered.

[0121] The operation objects D312 to D315 receive input of dwelling unit allocation plans from the user. Specifically, the operation objects D312 to D315 receive input of the number of units for each dwelling unit type from the user.

[0122] The operation object D316 accepts information about the area of ​​the dwelling unit or house, for example, accepting a selection of whether the area of ​​the house the user is considering designing is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.

[0123] The operation object D317 receives an instruction to determine whether the dwelling unit allocation plan complies with the regulations. When the user selects the operation object D317, the terminal device 10 transmits the information input to the operation objects D311 to D316 to the server 20, thereby instructing the server 20 to make a determination.

[0124] The output area D32 will be described later. Note that, at the stage of step S204, the output area D32 does not have to be displayed on the determination screen D3.

[0125] In step S205, the server 20 accepts a dwelling unit allocation plan from the user. Specifically, the server 20 accepts the dwelling unit allocation plan from the user by receiving from the terminal device 10 the information accepted from the user in the determination UI presented via the terminal device 10 in step S204.

[0126] The server 20 searches the item "area ID" of the judgment condition table 2025 based on the area ID of the area designated by the user in step S203, and acquires the identification information stored in the item "judgment condition."

[0127] In step S206, the server 20 compares the dwelling unit allocation plan received from the user with information about the regulations of the area specified by the user to determine whether the dwelling unit allocation plan complies with the regulations of the area. Specifically, in the program that performs the compliance determination, a function corresponding to the identification information acquired in step S205 is executed using the various information received in step S205 as arguments. This determines whether the dwelling unit allocation plan received from the user complies with the regulations of the area specified by the user.

[0128] In step S207, the server 20 presents the determination result to the user. Specifically, the server 20 generates a determination result UI to be displayed in the output area D32 of the calculation result screen D2 based on the determination screen information and the determination result of step S206, and presents the generated determination result UI to the user via the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 displays the generated determination result UI in the output area D32.

[0129] The output area D32 shown in Fig. 13 will be described. The output area D32 is an area that displays the determination result of whether or not the dwelling unit allocation plan complies with local regulations. The output area D32 includes a display object D321 and a display object D322.

[0130] The display object D321 displays the dwelling unit type, the percentage of the dwelling unit type in the total number of dwelling units in the dwelling unit allocation plan, and the determination result as to whether the dwelling unit type complies with the regulations. Here, a display object D321 is provided for each dwelling unit type (each dwelling unit type distinguished in the input area D31).

[0131] The display object D322 displays information related to the determination result. The server 20 may search the regulation information table 2022 using the area ID of the area specified by the user, and cause the display object D322 to display information included in the item "regulation information."

[0132] The server 20 may display information on the requirements that the dwelling unit allocation plan must comply with on the display object D322, depending on the determination result of compliance of the dwelling unit allocation plan with the regulations. In particular, the display object D322 may display information on the requirements that the dwelling unit allocation plan must comply with when it is determined in step S206 that the dwelling unit allocation plan does not comply with the local regulations. For example, the server 20 may search for the identification ID of a requirement included in the "regulation information" item of the regulation information table 2022 based on the identification ID of the requirement determined to be incompatible in step S206, and display information about the corresponding requirement in the display object D322. Note that information about a requirement determined to be incompatible in step S206 may also be displayed in the display object D322.

[0133] The display object may display, for example, the following information as information regarding the requirements that the dwelling unit allocation plan must meet: - Information about the requirements that the proposed dwelling unit allocation has met, among the requirements that the proposed dwelling unit allocation has met. For example, "25m 2 "Meets the requirement of less than 100,000 dwelling units," as well as excerpts and summaries of the provisions relating to the requirements. Information about the requirements that the proposed dwelling unit allocation does not meet. For example, "25m 2 Text such as "Dwelling units under this standard must be XX units or more," as well as excerpts and summaries of the requirements. - Advice and explanation on how to meet the requirements of the regulations for dwelling unit allocation. For example, "25m 2 Explanations such as "There is a shortage of units below this number, so please specify XX units or more."

[0134] <Summary> As described above, the server 20 accepts a region designation from a user. The server 20 presents the user with multiple options, including options for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that is subject to certain requirements contained in the regulations of the specified region and options for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that is not subject to the certain requirements. The server 20 accepts calculation information from the user, including the designation of an option, information about the site, and information about the area of ​​the dwelling units. The server 20 calculates the dwelling unit allocation by comparing the calculation information with information about the regulations of the region designated by the user. The server 20 presents the calculated dwelling unit allocation results to the user. This provides a technology for comparing and examining multiple examples of dwelling unit allocation that comply with local regulations.

[0135] The server 20 may present options for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that maximizes the number of dwelling units of a particular dwelling unit type while satisfying certain requirements, thereby allowing the user to effectively consider dwelling unit allocation when a user desires to provide many dwelling units of the particular dwelling unit type.

[0136] The server 20 may present an option for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that does not include a dwelling unit of a specific dwelling unit type so that the dwelling unit is not subject to a predetermined requirement, thereby allowing the user to effectively consider a dwelling unit allocation when the dwelling unit of the specific dwelling unit type is not required for the home.

[0137] The server 20 may present options for calculating a dwelling unit allocation that includes dwelling units of a specific dwelling unit type but is not subject to certain requirements. Even if a specific dwelling unit type is included in the dwelling unit allocation, it may be exempt from the specified requirements if certain conditions (e.g., conditions regarding the number of units of the specific dwelling unit type or the percentage of the total number of units) are met. By selecting this option, the user can effectively consider dwelling unit allocation even when dwelling units of a specific dwelling unit type are required for housing.

[0138] The server 20 may present to the user, for each of a plurality of options, the difference in dwelling unit allocation compared to other options. This allows the user to select an option while referring to the difference in dwelling unit allocation that varies depending on the option, thereby enabling the user to effectively consider dwelling unit allocation.

[0139] The server 20 may present options for calculating dwelling unit allocation that meets the target predetermined requirements by lowering the floor area ratio compared to other options, thereby allowing the user to effectively consider dwelling unit allocation.

[0140] The server 20 may present the user with an input field in which information about the dwelling unit can be entered for each dwelling unit type related to the options selected by the user. This allows the user to consider which option to select while considering the necessity for a dwelling unit of that specific type in light of the characteristics of the area (e.g., many single people, many family households, many elderly people, etc.).

[0141] The server 20 may present explanations related to predetermined requirements as options to the user, thereby facilitating the user's comparison of the options.

[0142] When the server 20 receives an operation for an option displayed on the user terminal operated by the user, the server 20 may present predetermined requirements related to the option, thereby facilitating the user's comparison and consideration of each option.

[0143] The server 20 may present information regarding predetermined requirements related to the calculated dwelling unit allocation, thereby enabling the user to confirm the requirements related to the calculated dwelling unit allocation, thereby enabling more effective consideration of the dwelling unit allocation.

[0144] The server 20 may receive a dwelling unit allocation plan from a user, compare the received dwelling unit allocation plan with information about local regulations specified by the user, determine whether the dwelling unit allocation plan complies with local regulations, and present the determination result to the user. This allows the user to confirm whether the dwelling unit allocation plan devised by the user complies with the regulations. This allows the user to more effectively consider dwelling unit allocation.

[0145] If the server 20 determines that the dwelling unit allocation plan does not comply with local regulations, it may present the user with information regarding the requirements that the dwelling unit allocation plan must comply with. This allows the user to understand the relationship between the determination result of the dwelling unit allocation plan and the content of the regulatory requirements. This allows the user to more effectively consider dwelling unit allocation.

[0146] <5 Variations> The steps of the dwelling unit allocation calculation process and the dwelling unit allocation determination process can be executed by either the terminal device 10 or the server 20. In the above description, an example has been given in which steps in each process are executed in a specific order, but the order in which steps are executed is not limited to the example described above as long as there is no dependency between the steps.

[0147] In the above embodiment, the server 20 accepted the designation of one of the options related to the operation objects D111 to D114 and calculated the dwelling unit allocation based on the accepted option. However, the server 20 may also accept the designation of multiple options. The server 20 may then calculate the dwelling unit allocation for each of the multiple options for which the designation was accepted and present the calculation results to the user. In this case, the calculated dwelling unit allocations may be compared with each other and the comparison results (for example, comparison results of the total number of dwelling units, the number or percentage of units of a specific dwelling unit type, floor area ratio, exclusive area, etc.) may be presented to the user.

[0148] In the above embodiment, the server 20 calculated the dwelling unit allocation based on calculation information including the selection of options, information about the site, and information about the area of ​​the dwelling units. However, the server 20 may also receive information about facilities related to the dwelling unit allocation from the user in addition to the calculation information, and calculate the dwelling unit allocation based on the calculation information and the information about the facilities related to the dwelling unit allocation. The information about facilities related to the dwelling unit allocation may specifically be information about at least one of facilities inside the dwelling units and facilities outside the dwelling units. For example, the information about facilities related to the dwelling unit allocation may be information such as the number of dwelling units equipped with facilities inside the dwelling units (e.g., elderly-friendly dwelling units), the number and installation area of ​​facilities outside the dwelling units (e.g., caretaker's office, meeting room, parking lot, bicycle parking lot, motorcycle parking lot, etc.). This allows the user to consider the facilities inside and outside the dwelling units when considering the allocation of dwelling units.

[0149] <4 Basic computer hardware configuration> 14 is a block diagram showing the basic hardware configuration of a computer 90. The computer 90 includes at least a processor 94, a main memory device 95, an auxiliary memory device 96, and a communication IF (interface) 99. These are electrically connected to one another by a bus.

[0150] The processor 94 is hardware for executing an instruction set written in a program, and is composed of an arithmetic unit, registers, peripheral circuits, etc.

[0151] The main storage device 95 is used to temporarily store programs and data to be processed by the programs, etc. For example, it is a volatile memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).

[0152] The auxiliary storage device 96 is a storage device for saving data and programs, such as a flash memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a semiconductor memory.

[0155] It should be noted that the computer 90 can be virtually realized by distributing all or part of each hardware configuration across multiple computers 90 and interconnecting them via a network. In this way, the computer 90 is a concept that includes not only a computer 90 housed in a single housing or case, but also a virtualized computer system.

[0156] <Basic functional configuration of computer 90> A description will be given of the functional configuration of a computer realized by the basic hardware configuration of a computer 90 shown in Fig. 14. The computer includes at least the functional units of a control unit, a storage unit, and a communication unit.

[0157] The functional units of the computer 90 can also be realized by distributing all or part of the functional units among multiple computers 90 interconnected via a network. The computer 90 is a concept that includes not only a single computer 90 but also a virtualized computer system.

[0158] The control unit is realized by the processor 94 reading various programs stored in the auxiliary storage device 96, expanding them in the main storage device 95, and executing processing in accordance with the programs. The control unit can realize functional units that perform various types of information processing depending on the type of program.

Furthermore, the control unit can cause the processor 94 to execute processes for adding, updating, and deleting data stored in the storage unit in accordance with the various programs.

[0160] A database refers to a relational database, which manages data sets called tables, which are structured by rows and columns, by relating them to each other. In a database, a table is called a table, a column in a table is called a column, and a row in a table is called a record. In a relational database, relationships between tables can be set and associated.

[0161] Typically, each table has a column set as a key for uniquely identifying a record, but setting a key to a column is not essential. The control unit can cause the processor 94 to add, delete, or update records in a specific table stored in the storage unit according to various programs.

[0162] The communication unit is realized by the communication IF 99. The communication unit realizes the function of communicating with other computers 90 via a network.
