Figure 10 shows an image of the game network construction. The basic idea
of the game network construction is that from the average distribution of network
structure, we generated a structure of a network with a small number of hubs.
In degree distribution in the average distribution network, each node has a shape
close to a bell-shaped normal distribution. On the other hand, a network with a small
number of hub nodes is a type hierarchy through (connector) hub. Each element
is clustered around the (element with) a hub which is linked from a plurality of
elements. If you count the number of links with other elements, the entire network
can be seen in the power law pattern, and distribution of a few elements has very
many links. That is, the structure of the scale-free networks is generated.
By the structure of the scale-free network, the following items can be considered
as a factor in order to avoid the social isolation of an aging society:

1. The distance between you and other people will be shortened.
2. Your role in the community is remarkable.
3. Increased sense of belonging to your community.

5 Conclusion

In this paper, we first discussed the current status of and issues surrounding social
isolation, with the aim of addressing the isolation of elderly people in Japan's
super-aging society. The term social isolation is yet to be clearly defined. It is
