日本经济正从泡沫经济后的长期衰退中走出来，处于经济复苏阶段。但是，由于经济差距扩大和地方经济衰退而产生的问题也有所增加。由于公共部门的改革加上人口减少和老龄化，公共投资减少，当地经济受到沉重打击。在这种情况下，社区货币作为一种可以同时解决当地经济衰退和社区衰败双重问题的工具而备受关注。然而，很少有研究和研究已经进行了量化的程度，社区货币振兴当地经济。我们参加了Tomamae-cho社区货币实验，并调查了它的流通流程。本文运用多种网络分析方法，对社区货币的流通流程进行了研究。结果表明：（1）网络的各种分布服从幂律分布，（2）网络表现出类似于生物体的“小世界”特征，（3）网络的有向和加权分析是重要的;以及（4）由于商业交易促进了共同体货币的流通，非商业交易，非商业交易扩大了当地经济中的商业交易。
The Japanese economy is emerging from a long-term recession following the bubble and is in the economic recovery phase. However, problems stemming from the widening economic disparity and the decline of local economy have risen. The local economy received a heavy blow from the reduction in public investment because of public sector reform combined with depopulation and aging. Under these circumstances, community currency attracts much attention as a tool that can simultaneously solve the twin problems of the decline of the local economy and the decay of the community. However, little research and few studies have been conducted to quantify the extent to which community currency revitalizes the local economy. We participated in the Tomamae-cho community currency experiment and investigated its circulation flow. This paper highlights the circulation flow of community currency using several network analyses. The following results are presented: (1) various distributions of the networks obey a power-law distribution; (2) the networks display the characteristics of a “Small World” similar to those of organisms, (3) directional and weighted network analyses are important; and (4) the double triangle system is effective due to its complementarity effect because commercial transactions facilitate circulation flow of community currency for non-commercial transactions, and non-commercial transactions expand commercial transactions in the local economy.
