clear, however, that network building plays an important role in creating local
communities. Thus, we here offered a methodology to address social isolation
through community creation based on the concept of a scale-free network. Also
we proposed a new networking game, based on the construction of the scale-free
network in daily life. Its practical instrumentation remains as our most important
interest in the future.
Many issues and tasks remain; among them is a detailed study on the relationship
between the scale-freeness of such a network and social isolation, with a view to
future practical applications.
