Comparative Study on the Restructuring and Regional Roles of Supporting Systems for Manufacturing Industries and Enterprises in Industrial Agglomeration Areas

本研究的目的在于明确岩手县花卷市、北上市和山形县米泽市的产业和企业支持体系的重构与演变，以振兴产业集聚。我们首先关注支持系统的形成、演变和运作的偶然性，其次关注支持系统与城市中超企业网络之间的关系。本研究验证的知识储备如下：(1)学习区组织是产业和企业支持系统重构的关键概念。(2)构成学习区域的网络有一个共同的特征，即企业外网络。(3)构建多层次、多层面的网络关系和配套措施框架。(4)网络和配套措施需要更广泛的区域外网络之间的合作，以紧密结合在一起。(5)网络的形成和演变及其配套措施反映了地方环境，包括地方独特性和偶然性。

The purpose of this study is to make clear the restructuring and evolution of supporting system for industries and enterprises in order to revitalize the industrial agglomeration in Hanamaki and Kitakami Cities in Iwate Prefecture and Yonezawa City in Yamagata Prefecture. We focus first on the contingency of the formation, evolution and operation of supporting systems, second on the relation between supporting system and the extra-firm networks in the Cities.The stores of knowledge verified by this study are as follows.(1) The organizing of learning region is a key concept in the restructuring of supporting systems for industries and enterprises.(2) The networks constituting learning region have to shear one feature as the extra-firms networks in common.(3) It is important for the relationships between networks and supporting measures to build multi-tiered and multifaceted frameworks.(4) The networks and supporting measures need broader cooperation between extra-regional networks in order to cling tightly together.(5) The formations and evolutions of networks and supporting measures reflect the local contexts including local uniqueness and contingency.
