Theoretical and Empirical study on the Transformation of Japanese Rural Society and the View of Agriculture

由于经费减少和项目期限缩短，我们在开始时改变了部分研究计划。在第一年的前期研究中，选定了两个主要研究领域，对兵库县丹波地区的土著发展进行了调查。首先，我们关注了由政府政策引发的乡村振兴运动。我们澄清了中央政策和地方接受政策之间的差距，并澄清了共同森林管理和社区管理家庭生活改善运动之间的关系。我们发现了糠醛再生活动形成过程的特点。另外，以爱知县的矢羽川流域为研究对象，对团体文化活动和乡村旅游也进行了重点报道。环保运动将越来越多地涉及农村地区。这条河是著名的环境运动发生的地方之一。本文对环境保护运动的历史及其与政治的关系进行了描述、分析和评价。

We changed a part of research schedule at the beginning because the grant was reduced and the term of project was also shortened. The two principal research areas was selected in the preliminary research of the first year.We devoted to investigate the indigenous development in Tanba region, Hyogo Prefecture. First, we focused on the Rural Revitalization Movement that generated from the government policy. We clarified the gap between the central policy and a local acceptance of it, and clarified the relationship of a management of common forest and a home living improvement movement for community managements. We found the characteristics of the formation process of fural revitalization activities. Group cultural activities and the rural tourism were also focused and reported.The other research area is the basin of Yahagi river mainly in Aichi Prefecture. The environmental movement will increasingly involve rural areas. This river is one of the places where famous environmental movement took place. The history of the environmental movement for avoiding pollution and the political relation of it were described, analyzed and assessed.
