The rate of utilization of Community Facilities was reversely highest in rural villages at 84.3%, followed by fishing villages at 61.1% and mountain villages at 40.7%. This research also found that households saved energy when they used Community Facilities and areas with a high rate of utilization of Community Facilities at a lower average temperature in winter.
