9722872 Veeck This award supports a 9 month National Science Foundation Dissertation Enhancement award for Dr. Gregory Veeck at the Hirosaki University Department of Agricultural Economics, Hirosaki City, Japan. Dr. Veeck's student, Ms. Ann Brucklacher, will work with Dr. Kensaku Kanda, Professor of Agricultural Economics, on a research project entitled, "Rural and Agricultural Restructuring in Aomori Prefecture, Japan: A Study of the Lives and Economies of Apple Growers." The proposed research will document changes in the economies and lives of apple growers in the Tsugaru Region of Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Using archival studies, interviews, and surveys, the research will examine rural and agricultural restructuring over the last century and will focus on changes in agriculture and rural life in the past twenty years in the Chunan District, the core district of apple growing in the Tsugaru Region. Historical research on the region as a whole will permit a spatial reconstruction of the apple industry from the 1870s to the present and will relate changes in the industry to locational factors and to corresponding economic, political, and social trends. Data gained from the study will be used as a framework for a broader understanding of contemporary agricultural and cultural restructuring occurring throughout rural Japan. ***

小行星9722872 该奖项支持日本广崎市广崎大学农业经济系的Gregory Veeck博士获得为期9个月的国家科学基金会论文增强奖。 Veeck博士的学生Ann Brucklacher女士将与农业经济学教授Kensaku Kanda博士一起进行一项题为“日本青森县农村和农业结构调整：苹果种植者生活和经济研究”的研究项目。" 这项拟议中的研究将记录日本青森县津轻地区苹果种植者的经济和生活变化。 本研究将通过档案研究、访谈和问卷调查等方法，对世纪以来的农村和农业结构调整进行研究，并将重点关注津轻地区苹果种植的核心地区--淳安区在过去20年中农业和农村生活的变化。 对该地区作为一个整体的历史研究将允许从19世纪70年代到现在的苹果产业的空间重建，并将在该行业的变化与区位因素和相应的经济，政治和社会趋势。 从这项研究中获得的数据将被用作一个框架，更广泛地了解当代农业和文化结构调整发生在整个日本农村。 ***
