社会福祉施設の施設整備費及び大規模修繕等費用に関する研究

<p> In the ongoing reform of the social welfare corporation system, strengthening of the financial discipline and governance of social welfare corporations is required. As part of this reform, it is necessary to clarify the surplus assets that is calculated by excluding the cost of daily operations, future large-scale renovations and rebuilding, from the owned asset. Therefore, it is strongly required to estimate the cost of construction and the large-scale renovation for the facilities operated by social welfare corporations. The purpose of this research is to clarify future rebuilding costs and large-scale renovation costs of these diverse welfare facilities for social welfare corporations to operate facilities efficiently.</p><p> In this study, questionnaire surveys on facility construction costs and large-scale renovation costs were conducted for social welfare corporations nationwide. Responses to the questionnaire surveys were obtained from 2,943 corporations and 5,294 facilities.</p><p> First, the results on the facility construction costs and the funding status are summarized as follows. Regarding the facility construction costs, it rose from 1975 to around 2000, then dropped after 2000, but rose again after 2011. Concerning the funding status, the subsidy accounted for approximately 60% of the total construction cost until around 2000, then since 2000 it has gradually decreased to about 40%. This tendency is particularly true in the facilities for the elderly people, and for example, the current ratio of subsidy for the construction cost of the special nursing home for the elderly is lower than 30%. This means, especially for the social welfare corporations that operate facilities for the elderly people, when rebuilding the facilities in the future, higher construction costs and reduction of subsidies must be taken into account compared to when the facilities were initially constructed, which lead to an increase of corporations expenses. On the other hand, the ratio of subsidies is not reduced in facilities for children and people with disabilities.</p><p> Second, the results on the large-scale renovation are summarized as follows. 62.5 ％ of facilities carried out the first large-scale renovation approximately by 15 years after construction. As for the timing for the large-scale renovation, outside walls and rooftop waterproofing were performed in the 11th to 15th years, followed by electrical and air conditioning equipment in the 16th to 20th years. The accumulated cost of the large-scale renovations was 62,258 yen / square meter for a building about 40 years old, which is cheaper compared to other types of buildings such as university libraries and classroom buildings. Accumulation processes of large-scale renovation costs were classified into three types: "Low-cost", "Intensive", and "Continuous". Though there was no difference in the cost spent between the Intensive type and the Continuous type, the satisfaction for the large-scale renovations was higher in the Intensive type than the Continuous type.</p><p> From these results, it is expected that facilities operated by social welfare corporations will be used longer than before due to the difficulty of raising funds for rebuilding. In that case, intensive large-scale renovations are required in order to perform satisfactory large-scale renovations. Since there is a possibility that a shortage of renovation costs will lead to malfunction of the facility, it is important to consider the facility operation not only at the time of rebuilding but also from the long-term perspective, including the subsequent operation.</p>
