Abstract
Transforming today’s mass consumption society into one that circulates products is one of the key concepts of sustainability. Reuse of furniture and home appliances within neighborhoods already occurs in many countries. This paper describes a system that finds an appropriate path between households in a locality for increasing the degree of reuse of some products. Based on a predefined map that has information on houses, the proposed system determines a pair of houses that are separated by the shortest distance, among the combinations of houses, with the appropriate conditions for reusing a product. An agent-based technology is used to determine grouping based on distance between houses. A simulator visualizes the grouping for performing the matching operations.
