In this study, the authors developed three programs using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). First, The authors developed a program to calculate the population center of gravity aged 65 years or older (PCG65) of 37 municipalities, divided into more than 100 subareas, in Niigata Prefecture. The second program was used to estimate the travel time at a given time between PCG65s of each municipality and 202 intensive care homes for the elderly (ICHEs). The third calculated the transfer time of patients from ICHE to hospitals with long-term care beds or psychiatric beds and applied this outcome to the land price calculation method, published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The program was designed to score convenience when residents of ICHE developed acute diseases, such as bone fracture or mental diseases like PTSD. The establishments of ICHE has not yet reached complete success in municipalities with a large number of elderly people aged 75 or over. In addition, we detected one city, one town and one village where a long-term care support hospital was not within 30 minutes from ICHEs. From the perspective of CBICS, these municipalities were judged to have high priority for improvement. It is thought that geographical analyses by prefecture level and nationwide level is effective as a method for highlighting the current situation and issues of CBICS for each municipality.},
