Population Changes and Rural Gentrification in Rural Areas

这项研究的目的是用“农村士绅化”的概念来阐明人口从城市流入农村的过程，以及新移民对农村地区的影响。在东京都郊区的乡村度假胜地Karuizawa，移民以游客的身份体验Karuizawa，并在通过互联网收集信息后迁移到Karuizawa。这些人在Karuizawa的行为可能是因为他们被那里的风景和环境所吸引，有助于维护Karuizawa的风景和环境，换句话说，农村士绅化正在推进。

The objective of this studyr is to clarify the process of population inflow from cities to rural areas, and the impact of the new arrivals on rural areas, using the concept of “rural gentrification." In Karuizawa, a rural resort on the outskirts of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, the migrants experienced Karuizawa as tourists, and migrated to Karuizawa after gathering information through the Internet. There is a possibility that the behavior in Karuizawa of these people who migrated there because they were attracted by its scenery and environment is contributing to maintaining the scenery and environment of Karuizawa, in other words, that rural gentrification is progressing.
