We propose a new quantitative method for systems analysis that enables investigation of trends of people's needs by analyzing opinion surveys. We have applied the method to a nationwide opinion survey in Japan which was conducted in 1978 to obtain people's assessments of the degree of satisfaction and importance on 60 concerns of quality of life. Various interesting findings obtained by our quantitative method are presented, many of which support observations and qualitative analysis on the directions of people's needs for well-being in Japan in the late 1970s. We first define an indicator that expresses the degree of a change of people's interest when their interest moves from one need to another after the former need is statiated. We present a hypothesis by utilizing the indicator, and obtain a hierarchical structure of people's needs based on the hypothesis. Finally, we construct a structural model that illustrates trends of people's needs for the improvement of quality of life, and we describe findings elucidated by the model.
