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

20世纪通常被称为“发展”的世纪。本研究的任务是通过关注1956年完工的佐久间大坝项目对国家和地方的影响，调查20世纪下半叶日本区域发展的历史后果和社会文化意义。为了分析“发展”现象是如何通过当地居民的日常生活来建构的，我们在这里采用了一种叙事的方法来研究现实建构。系统收集各种关于发展的叙事资料、民间传说、地方传说、电影等视觉影像以及文字资料，研究基于“发展”的各种叙事和表现的“梦”是如何调动大量人口的。主要发现如下：1)日本的战后开发通常被视为一个独立的、独特的项目，但由于其与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有着深刻的根源，因此应该被视为20世纪20世纪项目的一部分。(2)在战后区域发展项目扩散的背后，存在着一个全国性的“发展”正面形象的生产和分配过程。自20世纪60年代以来，媒体行业更深入地参与到公司赞助节目的制作中。然而，在20世纪70年代出现了一些有创意的制片人和导演，他们将反显影形象形式化了。（三）战后区域发展所产生的地方利益，目前正在丧失融入地方社会的能力。代替外生发展的是一种寻求可持续发展新基础的内生尝试，其形式往往是在地方一级创造新的形象。

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.
