Resource management in Modern Japan : A case study of the orderly use of hot spring resources

本研究揭示了在近代引进的“现代土地所有制”制度下，温泉资源的有序利用发生了怎样的变化，当代日本资源管理的特殊性，以及通过资源利用实现地区发展和进步的形式。可以肯定的是，在一些温泉地区，社区秩序仍然很强，温泉开发没有取得进展，但即使在这些地区，也确实发生了旨在确保温泉资源的开发。但是，由于土地所有制结构的特殊性，以及资源少、开发资金缺乏等问题，使得温泉地区在第二次世界大战前无法得到全面开发，也对后来温泉地区的发展产生了重大影响。

This study reveals what kinds of transformations the orderly use of hot spring resources has undergone under the "modern land ownership" system introduced in modern times, the special characteristics of resources management in contemporary Japan, and the forms of regional development and progress achieved through the use of resources. It has been ascertained that in some hot spring areas communal order strongly remained and hot spring development did not progress, but even in these areas development aimed at securing the hot spring resources did actually occur. However, the special characteristics of the land ownership structure and problems such as few resources and a lack of development funds made full-scale development impossible before the Second World War and had a major impact on the subsequent progress of the hot spring areas as well.
