Regional development in post-growth era and its reality : Narrating the "local" basis of development

20世纪通常被表述为一个“发展”的世纪。本研究的任务是考察20世纪后半叶日本区域发展的历史后果和社会文化意义，重点考察1956年竣工的佐沼坝工程对国家和地方的影响。为了分析“发展”现象是如何通过当地居民的日常生活建构起来的，我们采用了叙事的方法来研究现实建构。系统地收集了关于发展的各种叙事数据、民间传说和地方故事、电影和其他视觉图像以及书面文件，以研究以各种关于“发展”的叙述和表现为基础的“梦”是如何动员大量人口的。主要研究结果如下：1)日本的战后开发通常被视为一个独立的、独特的项目，应该被视为20世纪项目的一部分，因为它深深植根于战前日本的殖民开发、美国的TVA项目和俄罗斯的一般土地开发。2)在战后区域开发项目扩散的背后，存在着一个在全国范围内生产和传播“发展”正面形象的过程。自20世纪60年代以来，媒体行业更深入地参与了公司赞助节目的制作。然而，20世纪70年代出现了一些创造性的制片人和导演，他们图案化了反发展。(Iii)战后地区发展产生的地方利益目前正在失去地方社会融合的能力。正在进行一种内生的尝试，以寻求可持续发展的新基础，通常是在地方一级创造新的形象，以取代外生发展。

The 20th Century is often expressed as a century of "development". The task of this research is to investigate the historical consequences and socio-cultural significances of Japan's regional development during the latter half of the 20^<th> Century, by focusing on both national and local impacts of Sakuma Dam Project, which was completed in 1956. In order to analyze how "development" phenomena are constructed through everyday life of local residents, we adopted here a narrative approach to the study of reality construction. Various narrative data, folklore and local tale, movies and other visual images on development, as well as written documents, were collected systematically to study how huge number of population are mobilized by "dreams" that have a basis on various narratives and representation on "development". Major findings are as follows :i) Japan's postwar development, which was often regarded as an independent and unique project, should be seen as a part of the 20^<th> Century projects, because it had deep roots in colonial development in prewar Japan, TVA project in the U.S., and general land development in Russia.ii) Behind the postwar diffusion of regional development projects, there have existed a nation-wide process of production and distribution of positive image on "development". Media industries had been more deeply involved in the production of company-sponsored programs since 1960s. Yet some creative producers and directors appeared in the 1970s, who schematized counter-developmentimage.iii) Local benefits, which were produced by postwar regional development, are currently losing a capability of local social integration. In place of exogenous development, an endogenous attempt to seek a new basis of sustainable development is going on, often taking the shape of new image creation at a local level.
